[Electric Boats] Re: belt drives vs directly coupled motor shafts and torque

 

Direct cooling with water is ideal, provided you deal with the obvious difficulties. An alternative is to indirectly cool with water. Cool the motor with air that is chilled by water. Water is generally cooler than the ambient air. A simple pump and radiator will chill the air. No fancy motor or motor parts needed.
