A friend of mine is a battery expert and has built up quite an 
impressive company over the last decade or so.
He is starting a project to develop a hybrid diesel electric marine 
drive that is particularly suitable for water taxis for place like 
Venice and Amsterdam. He is hoping to raise some funding from crowd 
sourcing.
As part of this initiative, his company is having an open day on 
Saturday 14th May from 1400-1600 where they will showing  the drive plus 
some other projects.

I thought that this may appeal to some of you around Southampton. There 
will also be a couple of Electric vehicles  and the owners are prepared 
to bore you to death about the benefits of the EV.
There will also be free tea and biscuits in the sunshine next to the 
river Itchen
