After rowing across the Atlantic in 2006, Roz Savage is leaving San Francisco (her Website has updated departure dates) to conquer her next ocean: the Pacific.
Roz’s rowing vessel is fully self-sustained. During this two-plus months adventure, a total of 6 sonar panels and a wind turbine will provide power for her desalination system, her communications system, computer system and various miscellaneous systems including her iPod and on board soundsystem. We have added a few more gadgets: data loggers that will show us how much energy Roz’s system is generating each day. The Roz Savage page on Smart Energy publishes this data and predicts future generation based on the weather forecast.
I talked to Roz prior to her departure about her ambitions and day-to-day life on the vessel.
A closer look at wind energy

Wind energy is a very attractive [tag]energy[/tag] source with very low emissions and low space requirements (especially when compared to biomass crops). My colleague, [tag]Mark Jacobson[/tag], has done extensive research into available wind resources in the U.S. and abroad. He’s one of the world’s leading experts in the field. FInd out why he’s also a strong supporter of wind energy, and why he hopes that we will invest heavily in this alternative energy source.
