Hosted by the exuberant James O'Loghlin, The New Inventors: Re-inventing the Wheel takes a look at
the breakthroughs that will change the way we travel on land and sea and how we'll fly in the
future. Tonight's out-of-competition special features new ideas on how to cut down the cost of
driving to one cent per kilometre; take a flight in a battery powered helicopter; and use hydrogen
to power the ships of the future. Reviewing these three inventions are agricultural scientist Chris
Russell, designer Alison Page and engineer James Bradfield Moody. Inventions featured on the
program: Invention 1: Trev by inventor Dr Peter Pudney from SA After the excitement of driving a
solar powered car across Australia, Dr Peter Pudney wanted to use similar technology to make a
battery powered car for driving around town. The result is Trev - a shiny green three-wheeled
vehicle that can reach speeds of up to 120kmh. This concept car has a sleek tapered body that seats
two people - one behind the other. Powered by 45 kilograms of lithium ion batteries, it has a range
of 150 kilometres before it needs plugging in for a recharge. Best of all, if the electricity comes
from renewable sources, Trev is emissions-free motoring. Trev - the car you plug in and drive away
for 1c a km. Invention 2: Hydrogen Boat by inventor Colin Salmond from QLD Solar and wind will help
deliver the sustainable energy of the future, but how can they be used by ships at sea? That's what
has Colin Salmond thinking about hydrogen power for shipping. He's devising a system to manage and
control all the technologies required to generate hydrogen on a boat whilst at sea. His vision is
for ships to be equipped with vertical wind turbines and solar panels that will power a hydrogen
generation plant that will fuel the ships of the future. One of the first applications could be
hydrogen powered fishing boats that will be able to stay at sea far longer than conventional craft.
