Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Efficiency

 

Oh! And that reminds me. Anyone fitted a continuously variable transmission (CVT) (also known as a single-speed transmission, stepless transmission, variable pulley transmission, yet? Or indeed controllable (not variable) pitch prop? Hook it up to a NEMA 2000 and torque control function in the controller - could be interesting?

Personally beyond my pay grade or requirement but it does make me wonder where EP is going next. Which also makes me think we need the cost of Lithium/kWh to come down. Maybe some companies could offer lease or finance for them, as they are certainly cost effective over time even at today's capital cost compared to AGM.

Enough of my musings, today is Monday and work to be done to keep my boat afloat!
