A wave-less boat invented in Sri Lanka
 Indresri Karunathilaka has invented a wave-less boat, which prevents a wave occurring as a boat travels, the Government Information Department reported. The new invention has been made by changing the standard hull of a boat from a ‘V’ shape by including non-symmetric twin hulls fixed in inverse, allowing the water to travel though the hollow mid section of the hull, thereby preventing the formation of waves to the sides of the boat.
