Physalia Ship

Physalia is half-boat, half-building, and all green. This mammoth aluminium concept by Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut is meant to travel Europe's rivers, making filthy water drinkable. At the same time, the ship generates more energy than it uses.

Physalia setengah perahu, setengah bangunan, dan keseluruhannya hijau. Konsep aluminium mammoth yang dibuat oleh arsitek Belgia Vincent Callebaut ini dimaksudkan untuk berlayar ke sungai-sungai di Eropa, membuat air kotor dapat diminum. Pada saat yang sama, kapal ini juga menghasilkan lebih banyak energi daripada yang digunakannya.

A coat of titanium dioxide paint brushed onto the silvery shell will neutralize pollution by absorbing ultraviolet rays, enabling a chemical reaction that decomposes organic and inorganic toxins. it is the same technology used in certain high-tech concrete that breaks down airborne particulates. As the vessel whips along, purifying waterways, it can draw on both solar and hydro power
