Re: [Electric Boats] average energy consumption per day of a 44foot sailboat?

 

Kevin,

While your vision is one perspective, you might have missed the primary objective of this request, "to convert his 2007 Bavaria Vision 44 into electric powered with no compromise... He basically wants this boat to be 100% green with not a single drop of fossil fuel needed."

Aside from the Bavaria 44 project, I'm interested in your installation of a high voltage system. Can you describe the components and system design that manages the voltage safely? I'm most interested in the systems on the storage side of the controller.

Thanks,
Eric

Unfortunatly the missing link is the availability of appropate diesel gen-sets so most of us use Honda 2000i's. I Use 144volt bank and safley installed the high voltage is perferable ,I also perfer Brushless rare earth perm. mag. motors with a large rotor dia. these run at low RPM and do not require a gear reduction but do need large dia. prop with a steep pitch and 4 blade 6 if possible. these motors are $$$. The gen set of my dreams? 5HP ,4 cyl, 1200-1800 rpm, fresh water cooled,common rail fuel delivery with programmable auto start and the ability to usr fossil or bio fuel driving a 2 Kw PM brushless DC genny with variable output connected directly to the Lithium batteries. 210L would go a long way.
