Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric Seas

 

Electric Seas is back! We had a mixup with the coding but it is all straightened out now. Hopefully no more down time.

Is there any update on electric seas?  It was a great wealth of information and it would be a shame if it were lost?

Re: [Electric Boats] Re: changing an outboard to electric

 

Shaft horse power (SHP) is what matters when moving a boat or doing any work.
5.5 SHP electric = 5.5 SHP internal combustion = 5.5 SHP from squirrels running in wheels
The conversion from the electrical energy source to SHP-hours may be roughly twice as efficient compared to obtaining the same SHP-hours from say Diesel fuel.
The problem is weight of batteries (ie thick plate FLA) to store half the required energy as in diesel fuel is roughly 180 times greater. Furthermore 5.5 SHP is barely going to move your boat when your fuel tank is 180 times heavier. Further furthermore, the batteries do not get any lighter as they get discharged but the weight of the stored Diesel fuel approaches zero as it is burned up so you need less SHP to maintain your speed towards the end of the trip compared to the start.
Regardless of the of the elephant in the room which is the poor kWh/kg capability of batteries, electric boat enthusiasts are trying to improve the efficiency of their electric motors. Helloo, if you are at 90% efficiency with your motor then you can't even achieve 10% improvement because you will hit the big wall built by the laws of physics. "Hugely bigger" than even Trump's wall.
Sorry, if I offended anybody with the basics.

It really depends on what type of boat but 5.5 Hp electric is roughly 12H.p. I.C. so work from there.

Like others have said, your 5.5Hp electric will certainly move that boat, probably up to hull speed, but not much faster, probably 6–7mph. Keep in mind that you have a planing hull, which adds drag below planing speed. While the 90Hp lower is overkill, as you said, it will swing a larger prop. I'd look for a prop that's as large as the unit will swing (but leaving a 1" space below the anti-caviting wing), and having two, narrow blades.

Re: [Electric Boats] Solar Catamaran Videos

 

I was curious to learn more about your boat and went to your youtube channel and viewed about 10 different videos but never could hardly find any picture of the BOAT. I was hoping to see interior and exterior pictures of the vessel itself but could hardly find anything beyond the control console, a solar panel on the horizon, and the helm from the companion way.  Also did a fairly extensive search of your face book and patreon pages and could not find ANY pictures of the BOAT itself from different angles. . 

I'm sure they are there somewhere but I couldn't find them. Your presentation would be a lot more compelling if you had more details about the vessel itself front and center. As a long time solar cruiser with an extensive blog and a website I can tell you from experience that we get the most traffic and downloads on our sites from picture of the boat and it's inner workings. People seem much more interested in learning about the vessel itself than our travels.

Could you provide a direct link to where you have hidden the details about your BOAT?  Both exterior and interior pictures would be interesting to me but I could not find any and got tired of looking.

So I have decided to release publicly all the videos from our summer electric cruise in the Pacific North West.  If your so inclined to watch you can follow along on my Facebook page for the correct chronological order or from my Youtube channel.

It should take some time to post them all.  They are all uploaded already I just have to sort though them as I go make obvious edits and add descriptions and titles to the videos.  You don't want to get behind on this electric cruise video series as we cover much of our time with over some 20 plus days with videos while we are underway.

It is the closest thing to actually being there.  Some videos you might find exciting and some perhaps as downright boring and quiet as electric boating videos should be.  Tune in and share in the experience on this one of a kind solar catamaran.

RE: [Electric Boats] Re: E-R2AK?

 

There's the solar race that was to be doing the Great Loop but now looks to be a race from Key West to Washington DC…?

I thought I read that Watertribe has an exhibition class in their Everglades Challenge. That is certainly a 'real water' race, almost as much as R2AK.

It is a self-declared not-for-profit, and a valued resource.
I'm not sure who runs it, but it fills a useful gap.
More info would be handy.
