[Noisebridge-discuss] Orsos' Island artificial yacht is the commercialization of Seasteading

[Jake]

Measuring 37 meters long, the island can be anchored anywhere in the world 
its owner fancies. But, although it resembles the "Millennium Falcon" from 
"Star Wars", the "Orsos Island" is unable to reach tropical destinations 
at lightening speed, as its diminutive diesel engines are equipped for 
short journeys only. Instead, the company recommends that its owners use a 
towboat or cargo ship for long haul moves.

To boost its green credentials, the designers have incorporated 160 square 
meters of solar panels on the roof, as wells as wind generators that can 
produce 28-30 kilowatt hours of power (kwh) -- the average daily 
consumption of a family household.

"The maximum power usage that can occur on the island when everything is 
used at the same time is calculated to be 45 kwh. In those cases the two 
diesel engines are used to cover the increased energy needs," said Recsy.
