ELECTRICALLY POWERED WATERCRAFT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317377 titled 'ELECTRICALLY POWERED WATERCRAFT
The abstract describes an electrically powered watercraft with a hull, a propulsion device at the stern including a motor and a propulsion unit, an electrical box housing an electric component, a battery box positioned in front of the electrical box, a first cable from the battery box to the electrical box, and a second cable from the electrical box to the motor.
- The watercraft is powered by an electric motor and propulsion unit located at the stern of the hull.
- An electrical box houses important electric components on one side of the rear part of the hull.
- A battery box positioned in front of the electrical box supplies electric power for driving the motor.
- A first cable connects the battery box to the electrical box, while a second cable connects the electrical box to the motor.
- This design allows for efficient and reliable electric power distribution within the watercraft.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in electric boats for recreational or commercial purposes. - It can also be applied in environmentally friendly water taxis or ferries. - Electrically powered watercraft can be used for marine research or exploration purposes.
Problems Solved: - Reduces reliance on fossil fuels for marine transportation. - Provides a cleaner and quieter alternative to traditional gasoline-powered boats. - Improves overall efficiency and performance of watercraft.
Benefits: - Lower environmental impact due to reduced emissions. - Quieter operation for a more peaceful boating experience. - Cost-effective in the long run due to lower fuel and maintenance costs.
Commercial Applications: - Electric boats for leisure activities such as fishing or cruising. - Water taxis or ferries in urban areas where noise and pollution are concerns. - Research vessels for marine scientists and biologists.
Questions about Electrically Powered Watercraft: 1. How does the placement of the battery box and electrical box contribute to the efficiency of the watercraft? 2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using electrically powered watercraft over traditional gasoline-powered boats?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in electric propulsion technology for watercraft. - Monitor developments in battery technology for improved energy storage and efficiency.
