Maker Faire Austin 2008
Human-Powered Road-Going Viking Boat
This thing is a car without a motor that looks like a boat. It is propelled by means of the occupants' efforts at a rowing machine mechanism. The videos are of a four-person prototype which served as a warm up for the real thing: a 13 person (12 rowers + 1 helmsman) 38-foot-long road-going viking boat. While the large version remains a work in progress, the prototype is fully functional.
