What a great thing for Mark Stafford to kick off!
BTW, I loved the last word of his post especially:
Charge!
That's just what we're trying to do with regen electric.
I feel pretty smug about instantly recognizing Mark's intelligent expertise when I first stumbled onto this site.
While I'm among the least knowledgeable among the lot, in fact, we are the pioneers. Tremendous technological progress -- and its application -- is inevitable.
It seems worth noting here that for over twenty-five years, every single thing needed to deploy the first steam boat existed. But not until Robert Fulton and other pioneers actually bolted it all together was the new era of worldwide commerce launched.
I'm no engineer or yacht designer, don't even know electric motors well, but I do want to prophesy the development of a great line of electric sailing yachts with batteries and motor incorporated into the keel. It has to happen.
In the meantime, I'm certainly enjoying this forum and appreciate the help in figuring out a sensible alternative to the stinky diesel in my Cal25.
