The Elizabeth Swann is a fast solar and wind powered boat, loaded with juicy tech, that gives her the technical edge on her rivals. During a race around the world, news of the sinking of a pirate whaling ship reaches John Storm and his mate Dan Hawk. They decide to abandon the race and try and save the wounded whale, even though they are miles in the lead.
The Elizabeth Swann is a ZEWT trimaran with a long thin central hull and two outriggers, a unique design that allows her to store energy in batteries and as hydrogen gas or liquid, as needed, either manufactured onboard via an electrolyzer. The central hull is partly submerged. She has two helm positions, one enclosed forward and a second helm open to the rear. The open rear cockpit has steps down to a diving platform.
The boat is solar and wind powered, with a large hybrid energy store and advanced navigation system to track solar and wind energy, that allows her to cruise autonomously, without range restrictions, free of fossil fuels - and without the need for human piloting, as and when the feature is invoked.
The Swann has three solar arrays, two of which are moveable and track the sun. She also has a wind turbine mounted on a retractable mast, that allows the captain, or the autonomous control computer called 'Captain Nemo,' to furl the wind turbine in stormy conditions.
When using the (reserve) hydrogen banks, fuel cells convert the gas into electricity. On this reserve the trimaran can travel up to 6,000 nautical miles, without her energy harvesting apparatus. For the WZCC race, the Swann will adhere to the rules as to making hydrogen onboard, when moored or when the ship's batteries are fully charged, so as not to waste energy.
The boat was developed by Professor Douglas Storm in various locations all over the world, for the purpose of long endurance autonomous (even unmanned) transits. She was way ahead of her time, including an advanced self-learning program called 'Hal,' but could not be completed before the passing of Professor Storm, who died (went missing presumed dead) in mysterious circumstances, after a much modified version of the Swann, set a hydrogen powered record: Around the World in 80 Days, headlined as the Jules Verne Challenge, then was stowed away for safe keeping.
The secret to the performance of the Swann, is her energy storage and conversion system, with fuel cells of exceptional efficiency. This has caught the attention of ship operators all over the world, but the system is a closely guarded secret, where the patent system is regarded as unfriendly to innovators by Professor Storm, such that he refused to publish his designs, by way of being a conscientious objector and campaigner for progressive change and equal rights for inventors.
This stance enraged many governments around the world who'd been using knowledge transfer gimmicks to effectively purloin ideas without rewarding the developers. In rocking the intellectual property boat, some unscrupulous fleet operators decided to try and obtain the secret formula, by stealing it. No matter what that entailed.
The Elizabeth Swann is seen above at various angles to assist artists in the production of the graphic novel. Please note that although two wind turbines are shown on some older artwork, that the Swann will be a single turbine vessel - where the turbine may be raised, lowered and furled. In these pictures the turbine is fully raised with a following wind. The boat may be drawn with the turbine lowered to assist compositionally. Equally, the solar wings are show folded out flat. In storm scenes, the two outer wings would be folded over the central hull section to reduce windage. In addition, the wind turbine may be lowered and folded from the vertical position, to a horizontal position - again - to reduce windage. It's a bit like furling sails, only the modern high-tech version.
The Elizabeth Swann is a solar and wind powered trimaran. One of the Six-Pack round the world competitors, captained by John Storm. Details of the design are subject to change with development as necessary. This is a picture of a 1:20th scale model that we will be completing as this project proceeds.
Elizabeth Swann is played by Keira Knightly in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean.
