A Swiss initiated the project 'icare' earlier this year and he is planning to circumnavigate the world in a modified TWIKE in 2010. The vehicle gets its power from solar cells mounted on a trailer attached to the Twike. During stops a mobile wind turbine will additionally produce electricity to power the vehicle. At the moment only the french version of the project website is online, english to follow soon:

If you are willing to help this project you will find the necessary informations on his website. Sponsoring is one thing, but as far as I know he is also still looking for help in other areas. Check out his route, he might stop nearby your home icon_smile.gif

Google translate is really pretty decent translator for websites. This link will give you an English translation, but at the top you can change it to whatever language you desire:
