It’s the fastest eco-boat on the planet, and looks like something that traveled here from the distant future. But where Earthrace really stands out from other water craft is its fuel source: human fat, gathered from the body of owner Pete Bethune and two volunteers. The 10 liters of fuel produced by the  liposuction procedures helped the boat set a new world record by circumnavigating the globe in two months before it was sold to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and sunk by a Japanese whaling ship.
