3/3 At 3-3.5mph you would get around 20 hours cruising before using the generator for 3 hours.
At 2-2.5mph your get around 40 hours. Before using the generator for 3 hours. Or overnight on a standard shore line.
2/3 The 2 hour continuous is the standard to say it genuinely continuous power, rather than 2 minutes which wouldn't take into account heat soak of components.
At this power level the generator would auto start, so you'd get around 6 hours cruising.
1/2 After trying various hybrid and electric propulsion systems we decided to build our own.
We set the bar high. It had to be, direct drive, PMAC, the most efficient, most powerful, most reliable, highest torque and quietest.
1/2When I checked on our electric propulsion boats yesterday I didn’t expect one to be out in the wash! The sea was calm but it was great to see what is achievable with electric propulsion. Around 4kw was the average power consumption while out at sea leaving 20kw’s in reserve!!
2/2 In 10 miles out in the wash it used around 20% battery which was recovered with a hours generator use while cruising in the next leg of the journey. We are starting to log more and more data giving valuable information to optimise the performance of electric boats.
