文森特·嘉利宝是一个极具创意思维的设计师，他设计的浮动式鲸鱼花园便可在世界各地的河川之中遨游，并不断净化水质。Physalia是一个利用太阳能驱动的生态系统，依靠该系统，它可以产生花园所需的所有能源，同时通过生物过滤的方式来净化水资源。

嘉利宝的设计略显捕风捉影，但是他对于这项乌托邦技术一直抱有信心，并确信总有一天会实现的。他的最新观点是一个带有绿色屋顶和薄膜太阳能电池板的浮动花园。依靠不断流动的水，水轮机便可以不断地产生能量供船体使用。

船体的外围包裹着二氧化钛，它可以与紫外线相互作用，从而净化水资源。补给水被用在花园系统内，它可以过滤出更多的污染物。花园的四个区域以四个元素命名，他们分别是“土”、“风”、“火”还有“水”。

Physalia实际上指的是一种水母，这里大致可以理解为水泡的意思。这个水泡将会在欧洲，北非和中东的一些河流区域执行净化任务，他途径多瑙河，伏尔加河，莱茵河，瓜达基维尔河还有幼发拉底河。

Vincent Callebaut, visionary behind the Lilypad and Dragonfly, has created a whale-shaped floating garden designed to drift through the world’s rivers while purifying their waters. The Physalia is a self-sufficient ecosystem that generates all the power it needs from the sun and works to reduce water pollution through bio-filtration.

Callebaut’s designs are certainly fantastical, but it’s a treat to ponder them and hope that someday this type of utopian technology will actually exist. His newest vision is a floating environment filled with gardens and covered by both a green roof and thin-film solar panels. Hydro-turbines generate power from the moving water underneath the boat, thus, all of the boat’s energy is generated from renewable sources.

The craft’s exterior features a layer of TiO2, which reacts with ultraviolet rays to clean the water. Additional water is pumped through the garden systems, which biologically filter out contaminants and pollutants. Inside there are four distinct thematic gardens named, “Earth”, “Wind”, “Fire”, and “Water”, which represent the four elements.

Physalia was inspired by the “Physalia physalis” jellyfish, whose name translates roughly to “Water Bubble”. This water bubble is meant to navigate the major rivers of Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East, traveling along the Danube and Volga, between the Rhine and Guadalquivir, and through the Euphrate and the Tiger. Completely self-sufficient and incredible looking, the Physalias would turn heads wherever it floated.
