Microsec
R&D
Inc wants to collaborate with a local boat builder to create boats
similar to
the plug in electric boat featured at the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893. This amazing fleet of 55 36 foot long boats carried during two years over a million passengers in an almost silent powered electric boat. They made a profit of over $300,000 in 1893 to 1894. In today's money that is 30 million. ![]() We would like
to collaborate with an established local boat builder in
Victoria BC to
bring this kind of silent tour boat into existence once again. Smaller format boats could be created for family use in the inner harbour or in lakes that have outlawed gasoline engines. Our experience with hydrogen and solar technologies opens the way to hybrid energy sources as alternatives to a plug-in electric design. For many people the plug in electric is the ultimate in simplicity and silent operation. We envision using a submerged electric engine for absolutely silent boating. Our experience with hydrogen and solar opens up the possibilities for charging and increasing the range of such boats. The plug in electric version however is the ultimate in simplicity for tour boats. Modern battery technology will dramatically improve the range as compared to what was possible in 1893. If you are a boat builder in Victoria ... please consider working with us to create electric boats for Canadian waters. We thought we were pioneers in electric boats but historical research has shown that the concept is simple and was popular a century ago! What about a fleet for the Vancouver Olympics? Canada's First
Hydrogen
Assisted Sailboat
In 2007 and
2008 Microsec R&D
and AGO Environmental Launched Canada's first
Hydrogen
Assisted Sailboat. It can be seen in our Best Projects category above. In 2008 the University of Victoria's Mechatronics Engineering Program has assisted to increase the fuel cell power to 2000 watts. We are currentlyworking on a solar / fuel cell hybrid design. Jim Harrington, owner of AGO won the Premier's Award for Technology in Ontario for the Sailboat project and is going to receive his award in Feb 2009! ![]() Canada's First Hydrogen Assisted

carrying two new lines
of electric engines, both inboard and outboard designs.

replacement for the slow Cf-100, drew up requirements for a new "Jet
Interceptor"which would fly past The company was awarded
the contracts and design and testing began. To save design time and
costs a prototype was not The rollout was on
Oct. 4, 1957 and first flight was on March, 25, 1958, successfully
flown by test pilot Jan Zurakowski. Oct. 4 1957 was the
same date that the Russians launched the first space satellite
"Sputnik". Shortly after the
first few flights, the Conservative Government under Prime Minister
Diefenbaker ordered all blueprints The national
