[Electric Boats] Motor cooling

 

Hi All,

Research shows Heat exchangers work better with large temp differences.
These temp differences are sometimes hard to find so we deal with
ambient temperatures that likely are not premium. Passive heat transfer
would be best if only we understood it better.

Solar energy has everyone looking, but energy from solar PV panels is
sold at a premium. I believe our electric boats have some important
attributes that could help us rather than hinder us as we seem to allow
today. Some of the principals in the following technologies may be able
to help us in our efforts to cool our motors, and retain more of our
hard stored energy.

1.) I have looked into heat tubes.
2.) Another thought I have been looking into are TE modules.

These options may reduce the need for fans as used today. Some of these
may help keep our house batteries up without DC to DC converters. I
would like to believe a suggestion or two may lead to a better future in
the electric boating industry so here are two of the areas I am looking
into. Have fun
