Thank you for the mention in your channel, we have done many improvements on the jet since then, and testing DeepSpeed technology on different laboratory boats! 😉

Thank you YT Algo, yet again I'm never bored

Props to you for such a good video. It is very informative.

[davidodonovan]

Very interesting. Thank you for compiling this information. Very well done.

The sailing community is getting into these

I'm a Diesel guy & would like to see an investor group improve Bio-Diesel so it's not so easily contaminated. I'd also like to see eBoats as well as petrol & hybrid because a greater number of alternatives is great for consumers. Not everyone is the same, despite what some ideologs(you could also call them totalitarians) are telling us.

Very surprised you didn't put in the Voit Schneider system

Back in the 1990s or the early 2000s on discovery channel they had a blade less electromagnetic induction engine which is more like a pod with double Venturi’s I have not been able to find it ever since it was being used as a dredge also. It would be interesting to see whatever happened to it thanks for the videos!

I see a return of some very eligent small yatchs with silent propulsion

Hydromea makes an electric motor similar to the RIM 6. The Hydromea motor sells for about $500.
I these sorts of motors are a good fit for small unmanned submarines. Since there's not a center hub, seaweed and other debris just pass through the center without clogging it.
I'll post a link in a separate reply incase direct links get caught by the spam filter.
Thanks for another fun an interesting video. I always like the unusual gadgets you find.

When I was traveling in India, I met a guy who owns a putt putt boat factory. Those are the little toy boats that run on a candle flame. The guy said that when he was a kid, they would putt putt around the Ganges River in a boat powered by a putt putt motor made out of a hollow steel walking cane.

Unless you are cruising the canals of the UK none of this stuff will be ready for real world use for decades and even then it will be expensive. Boats require real torque for long periods and is why torque monsters like diesel motors are the most used short of a weekend boat which is gas. Even Tesla's have limited range on land. Now have that same tesla drag a dump truck behind it and see how long the power lasts.

You should have a look at the Zparq motor.

I've been in the market for a small CPP for years with zero luck. In the end I started designing my own. Thanks for the info!

Some weeks ago, my dad told me about a strange propeller he had come across. Seems he was referring to a Sharrow one.

You showed a white boat in Amsterdam named Pax as an boat with electric prop. This boat is still floating with batteries but have have prop with a diameter of 47 cm. This boat have a package of 84 batteries what is good for one week floating. I was captain at this company. This boat was build with a Fort Mermaid diesel. In the winter of 2016 this boat get a new Volvo Penta. About one and a half year ago this boat was rebuild to electric.
