From a different thread http://www.boatdesign.net/forums/boat-design/paddle-vs-pedal-26668.html#post265316: Do you have any details on your...
Right, it's of course shown by iLAN boats such as EarthRacer, that stabilised monohulls can be oceangoing. So, what's the low-down on...
I think I will try to summarise what I believe I've learnt sofar: 1. For wave conditions up to around 0,5 metres, the long-and-narrow...
Hydrofoils sound really interesting for lightweight electroboats. What are the drawbacks? What about seakeeping? How does a foiler perform in...
According to the article, a 40 kWh battery would cost 2.000 USD. That's 50 USD per kWh, to be compared with Lithium at 1.000 to 1.500 USD per kWh....
Right. In other words, a cyclist would comfortably beat a sculler - even on a hull optimised for sculling, in conditions optimised for sculling...
Thanx for the link. So, on the typical rowing distance of 2.000 m, Lance would take around 4 minutes. To be compared with Drysdale's single...
Hello, I've tried to get hold of Michlet/Godzilla, but it is no longer available for download on the cyberiad site. 1. Does anyone know if...
OT I just found this battery from Torqeedo, http://www.torqeedo.com/en/hn/products/power/technical-data-measures.html. [IMG] At 2 kWh and 19...
So, with a small electric motor and some modest battery capacity (say 1 kWh of Lithium batteries), one could have a really fast little boat with...
I agree that a true comparison should have each hull optimised for the respective propulsion, and that putting the pedal/prop on a scull hull...
A friend of mine, who is a former olympic sculler, pointed out that the body movement constricts lung volume/oxygen uptake, and that you must...
Out of curiosity, I looked up the Pahoa: [IMG] The Pahoa is 630 cm, so substantially shorter and, I guess, quite a bit heavier than the V11....
It seems there's almost nothing you haven't considered, and in many cases actually tried and tested. Your generosity and patience in sharing this...
Wonderful looking creations! Guess the yellow "banana boat" is based on a kayak? Finish looks really professional. What's the best approach to...
Having looked at the design, I have a few questions (that probably show that my vehicle building eperience to-date is confined to racing cars):...
Shame. From what I've read, it sounds like a useful and interesting application. 1. Do you know if the information on the cyberiad site about...
I've downloaded and installed Delftship now. Can't find any download links for Michlet/Godzilla though. Any tips as to where to find that? Cheers
Looks very nice, and quite buildable. What software do you use? Seems I will have to try and learn to use something like that. Wow! You are...
1. Thanks for all the input. 2. The idea of a bolt-on module as you outlined is very appealing. 3. My initial thinking re the hull was that,...
