The shape of it is really impractical for anything but static floating or very slow movement. Rough water would swamp it fairly easily. The solar array looks cool surrounding the “pod” in the middle, but the reality is that a fair portion of the solar panels would be blocked and shaded at any given time, very poor planning and poor use of expensive panels.

Novelty, not practical, wasted technology. If they sell a single one of these, I will be surprised.

Wouldn’t be surprise to see some middle east royalty buy one to put in his artificial lagoon 50 miles inland.
