[Electric Boats] Re: Direct Drive Motors and Regeneration

 

When using choosing a reduction drive system what is a "good" Motor : Shaft Ratio?

The SolidNav Explorer used a 2.222:1 Ratio I believe.

I presume a lot depends on the propeller size, pitch, # of blades, vessel displacement, etc.

If you planned to travel an extended distance offshore, would it make sense to "optimize" this ratio the other way around such that the motor turned faster than the propeller for better regen?
