I caught that documentary as well, amazing considering usually I only watch re-runs of Bullseye on telly! Found the part about Ricardos Comet Swirl Chamber really interesting, just shows that a simple idea can make a big change to performance. A good example of engineering.

The technology has already mostly been developed, its just a case of applying it. If battery tech thats currently (see the pun there? ) used to power cars is used on a boat it is feasable. I could easily imagine hire boats going for electric, charge up at marina, good solars on roof to extend range and if all fails a list of charging points on the cut. Id think maintaince would be easier as well. Its not all that long ago solar panals were seen as pie in the sky and now a lot of boats have them on, from what I remember when years ago when my dad first invested in some for his nb there was skepticism that they were any good.

As the Stroller is an outboard petrol unit, I have had a sneaky look at electric outboards. I would imagine for a good crusing you would need a lot of battery storage and of course you wont have an alternator to charge the batteries so would be dependent on solar panels, power hookup or even a seperate genny to keep the batteries charged up. At the moment its not practical or financially viable, but I can definately see a future where electric powered boats will become ther norm. After all you could argue that the infrastructure is better suitated than lets say the road network to charging electrics as we have shore power at marinas etc that could feasibly used as charging points. Also a lot of boats already have batteries and solar power.

I like the design, the 4 chamber carousel is a great idea as is the flap opening on sitting pressure. So you are seperating urine from poop, are you using a soak for the solids?
