10 Solar Powered Boats and Electric Watercraft making a Splash

День тому

Ahoy mateys, did you realize that solar power is the most abundant energy source on earth? By turning to more solar powered vehicles, you're reducing harmful emissions being released into your environment, and how cool is it to say that you're harnessing star power! Let's take a look at 10 Solar Powered Boats and Electric Watercraft making a Splash.

France's Ocean Station Pods looks great. What sells is how I read, research, and explore the Ocean that seems like there is nothing, that I can turn into Creator's gifts to the humans we are, if also I am a good person, and know why it is great to live on Land and in Water. In a way, not to waste and have no behavior in nature to take wrongly. I like this video because does make living better as well and uses resources that do not harm the futures humanities, humans, humane waterways. Thanks. Reminds I, not many are good in the water and few are good at it. But with some millions can be possible by very great people? Can't wait to go warp speed in the water, for good and not for bad, still not all trivial and not squabble matters in arguments and debates, is the action that matters that is the great product that wins. I don't think there is a number one yet. But it does show a purpose and a way of how ships should be. I love this video. Thanks. It has won my heart if the intent is to be with the sea intent to better the sea instead of battle the seas to win not wars, but to know the needs of the Ocean and that of how ties with the Land and humanity to explore better.

@davidhardin7835 4 роки тому

@TheTwick 4 роки тому

Do those solar panels ‘power’ the boat or just trickle charge batteries? Do they have to return to port for recharging or can the panels fully charge the batteries in a reasonable length of time (a day)? This applies to most of the boats you mentioned. Are the panels just trendy decorations or do they actually power the boats?

@JWH-01 4 роки тому

Good question. I was especially wondering that about the center console "cruiser". It only had a small panel on the roof of the center console. I'm all for solar power, once it gets affordable and practical. The wattage rating on the panel is only at "peak sun", which isn't for very long.

@jaquigreenlees 4 роки тому

The Silent boats and the number one fully recharge their batteries IF you are going slow enough ( 8 knots usually ) and maintain that speed overnight. You can adjust the speed to fit current power production ( stormy days going slower, cloudless days going faster ) as needed / desired. Silent does offer a hybrid option, with a diesel electric generator if desired. ( possibly a good idea, as storms do kill most solar production ) As well as the fully automatic kite sail option to have wind powering your travels at least part time. ( fully automatic meaning you press the button to deploy or retract and it does all the work )

@TheTwick 4 роки тому

John Hempel I was going by a back-of-the-envelope figure of 15 watts per square foot. I’m not an engineer, so I don’t know how to break it down from there. I was hoping an engineer in the comment section would ‘do the math’, that I can’t. You can stick a solar panel or two on anything and call it “green” but it’s not that simple.

@redwolfexr 4 роки тому

@@jaquigreenlees Silents its more like 4 knots if you want to recharge and power the engines at the same time. And that is in full sun.

@atlas-x5717 4 роки тому

What happens to the lithium batteries if the boat catches fire? What is the cost of lithium batteries to replace? How often will they need to be replaced? What kind of pollutants does it put into the ocean Or lakes if sinks? What is maintenance cost on drivetrain and solar panels especially in salt water? How long will the lithium batteries last in cold climates continuously?

@philehr 4 роки тому

Our Boats (Silent Yachts) have automatic fire extinguisher designed for lithium batteries, Cost today to replace them is pretty high (about Wh/2 in €), Nobody is exactly sure how long, but we expect them to last decades if treated well, I guess no ship is harm-free if they sink so about the same or even less than a traditional yacht, all of our yachts a run in salt water and to date we only had to change the anodes on the drivetrain the rest of the drivetrain and the solar panels is maintenance free! The batteries last in colder climates as long as in warmer (batteries are heated with the boat) If you have more questions just ask!

@atlas-x5717 4 роки тому

philehr ..Thanks for the information. Fire is always a concern on a boat obviously. We always have problems putting out fires with Involving batteries they burn so hot especially on these electric cars ‘nowadays’ two out of three times the cars burned to the ground. I would love one of these boats that would be 40 to 50 foot long houseboat that we would use in the United States in the reservoirs like lake Cumberland to retire on something in a little smaller size than a yacht. Maybe alittle more affordable for us would be great.Good luck with your yachts.

@mindseyedesign 4 роки тому

Tesla is said to be in development of a battery that can last for 500k miles and another at 1mil miles. A step in the right direction and hopefully sooner rather than later lithium batteries will be replaced with a more environmentally-friendly alternative as well.

@alanabrams8017 4 роки тому

As a sailor, I coulf put around 2000 watts of solar power paired with L-ion batteries and on a sailboat and power AC, a watermaker, water heater, a washer /dryer, oven, microwave, induction cooktop, and a dishwasher. This is all currently available technology, only limited by the efficiency of solar panels (currently around 22% for high quality tech) and the cost of deep-cycle L-ion batteries. It's not a matter of being profligate with the power, as one might accuse someone running a diesel generator to power these appliances, it's a matter of using the tech available to provide things that most people consider to be reasonable expectations.

How long can the material last against salt water from the ocean, the solar power panels? I like #2 and #1 the best. I an not sure haw they make hydrogen from ocean water.

@mindseyedesign 4 роки тому

"Fortunately, solar panels are highly corrosion-resistant. Solar modules themselves are vacuum-sealed between their back sheet and interior materials, which will prevent interior corrosion due to salt. This means that unless there is a crack in your panels, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your solar modules corroding." source news.energysage.com/solar-panels-resistant-salt-corrosion/ There are a few diffrent ways hydrogen can be made from water. Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, Alkaline electrolyzers, and Solid oxide electrolyzers. Using the polymer membrane method "water reacts at the anode to form oxygen and positively charged hydrogen ions (protons). The electrons flow through an external circuit and the hydrogen ions selectively move across the PEM to the cathode. At the cathode, hydrogen ions combine with electrons from the external circuit to form hydrogen gas. Anode Reaction: 2H2O → O2 + 4H+ + 4e- Cathode Reaction: 4H+ + 4e- → 2H2."
