Re: [Electric Boats] Re: silence is deafining on 72 vot setup for 6 t cat

If you buy an AC generator for a serial hybrid setup the price depending on size: http://www.generatorsales.com/marine-generators.asp And you will also need to buy a continuos duty charger to convert to 72 volts DC.

To answer you question on what size you would need, I would need to know what speed you want to travel at and for how long, how big is the battery bank you plan to use, if any.

Sorry about the caps and I was hoping someone had done a similar setup with a GEM car motor and controller and could advice me how to set up the hybrid system
Where can I buy a cheap genset and what size
What are Chinese gensets like
What speed would the prop rpm be
Has anyone done the same setup of diesel sd and hybrid fore more speed and or maneuvering
Can I use a different prop to give me a first and second gear efficientcy to maximise propulsion
