e-Motion Hybrid System - Video by BoatTEST.com

Michele Maggi has spent decades working on marine engines, their installations and selection. In 2014, he developed the first E-Motion diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system on a San Lorenzo 106’ (32.31 m) motoryacht. The company now offers parallel and serial hybrid systems, cutting fuel use and delivering extended quiet propulsion. Maggi explained how his system works to Capt. Steve in this video from the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Congratulations from Brazil

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

👍 4 hour troll on electric, and only needing 20min for a full re-charge..... *I W A N T THIS !*

[@raymondthomas8080]

Can you do an interview with Oceanvolt for sailboats?

[@djwashx]

impressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CaptK-pv7ow]

Wow that’s great .

[@darthkek1953]

Interesting.

[@codyepperson6796]

why even need the generators? couldn't run alternator off diesels?

Why hybrid . Extra prop and shaft that would run generators to feed batteries or similar design left up to engineer’s . Tesla of the sea has a similar design to produce power as the yacht glides through the water . Motion equals constant power being generated. Add solar no fuel needed when at anchor . Simple

So. Instead of converting chemical energy to mechanical energy. You want to convert chemical energy to electromagnetic/chemical and then to mechanical….. ya cool. You used a engine to charge a battery. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. I like this idea IF you use the engines at a constant speed. Optimize them for that speed. And use the motor for propulsion. My two cents.

[@mrabrasive51]

Same as an electric diesel locomotive.

[@paulwalker2133]

It has the potential to reduce emissions (like anything electric). If the source is a fossil fuel then no we’re not really progressing. Other advantages are less noise and pollution, which are also desirable. I think the long term plan is to make everything electric and then make the grid entirely renewable.

[@frankkreyssig7626]

Still burning fossil fuels…….🤔

[@AdventuresonTour]

Have to start somewhere..
