Innovations
Hybrid Propulsion & Thrust
We’ve developed a hybrid propulsion system that can operate in both forward and reverse directions - a first of its kind in the market.
Combined with our electric thrusters, a vessel can now move in all directions under hybrid-electric power, greatly increasing its maneuverability. The system is powered directly from solar power generation or onboard battery banks, bringing emissions to near-zero when operating in port or near city centers.
Solar Power Generation
Our solar solution utilizes single silicon crystal cell technology, which boasts higher efficiencies and sleeker aesthetics compared to more common, lower performing poly-crystalline silicon options.
The panels, which can seamlessly be integrated into the a vessel’s existing profile, directly charge the lithium-ion battery banks, providing enough power for hotel loads and allowing a ship to stay anchored away from shore for extended periods of time.
Shallow Water Anchoring
The spud pole anchoring system allows the vessel to hold its position in a tight anchorage or in a channel, is significantly safer, and is easier to deploy and retrieve than a conventional weighted anchor on a chain.
The spud pole is raised and lowered hydraulically using seawater pumps typically used for fire extinguishing and water extraction.
While anchored, our hybrid propulsion system can act as a generator using tidal flow to spin the propellers and charge the onboard batteries, supplementing the solar power generation and paving the way for self-sufficient boats.
The top of the spud pole chamber can also serve as an awning for shade on the bow.
Roll Stabilization & Pitch Control
Our rudderless directional control solutions remove the inefficiencies of traditional rudders, which create significant drag force and wasted energy, while providing the ultimate experience in comfort and ease of operation.
We’ve developed independently-activated port and starboard hydrofoils that work in combination with our fully-electric thrusters to counteract the motion of a vessel at sea.
The ship's motion and displacement are monitored using an array of sensors. Automated control algorithms use this information to activate the thrusters and hydrofoils as needed to reduce pitch and roll while underway and hold the ship in a fixed position during on-deck activities.
HVAC & Interior Climate Control
Cooling, heating and dehumidification for the interior consume the most energy among all the vessels’ powered systems. Current systems simply turn on and off to meet air conditioning demands, wasting energy and drawing incredible power from the ship's electrical system.
Our HVAC solution is a highly efficient digital scroll compressor, controlled by variable frequency drive, combined with temperature sensors throughout the vessel.
A sophisticated control system regulates the compressor speed to meet the heating/cooling demands of the vessel’s various internal spaces as efficiently as possible, reserving more energy for travel and the other electrical systems onboard.
Remote Guidance & Operation
Our solutions are centered around making semi-autonomous, single-handed operation a reality for large, complex boats. Our vessel-wide network of electric components, sensors, and controllers make it possible for a crew of engineers to operate remotely while increasing safety and comfort for those onboard.
Remote monitoring and operation of the vessel’s major navigation, engineering, and maintenance functions greatly reduces the need for onboard staff, resulting in a more intimate travel experience. The same systems used for remote monitoring are used to improve preventative maintenance capabilities, minimizing potential downtime due to unexpected maintenance.
