electric catamaran boat to set world record

**Chaz** · 09-03-2022, 02:21 PM

Most Marinas require you to call ahead and request that your boat be readied for a day on the water. Quick charge (if no fuel smell) fueled, check oil level .. while it's moved outside to a set of bunks .. when the owner arrives, they dunk it in the water. Never seen 150 extension cords snaked thru the racks .. nor a place to plug them in.

10.00 dollars euro for a gallon of gas ... Aint you guys Vikings ??? You should sail to Russia .. and open up with the 16" Howitzers .. we left there after WW2 ...

Since cheap gas seems like curse words to the commietards ..

I think I'll drop a prius on one of the concrete reinforced steel casings out at the nuke plant, grab up a few old fuel rods .. should be good enough to still boil enough water to run my truck for 100 years .. Since no one else seems to look at the big picture of their tard ideas ... why should I ...

So we had a bit of a accident today

And Chaz we like to hug trees before we set them on fire to make electricity to set the grid on fire

**Chaz** · 09-03-2022, 02:44 PM

Electricity is cheap and safe ... what could go wrong ..

It's nice to hear that they make the trees all warm and cuddled .. before slaughtering them ... sounds like Herzogenbusch ...

Egor go to the roof .. see what that noise was ....

Some of the comments here dive into politics and nonsense. All the auto manufacturers must not have a clue to all the so-called problems with EV's to be switching to many new models that are electric in the very near future. I applaud new technology.

Brad,

It's politics that drove the automakers to this decision. Biden declared war against the fossil fuel industry and made demands upon automakers along with bribing U.S. citizens to follow his agenda by giving more money away and throwing cubic dollars at his agenda when you purchase an E.V.. There is no question that electric assist is a move in the right direction (Toyota has proved this to us for the past 25 years). I think, like many things mandated by our employees (Federal Government), that there will be a ton of disappointment for those who own EVs only. They are no question cutting edge, have incredible performance, and are vogue. However, they will need to get to a "true 500 mile range" before there will be one our personal fleet. The new Hummer is great for 150 miles at a time.

Brad i am completely with you on electric outboards
i was looking into this 5 years ago and ended up with the most powerfull electric motor per kilogram at the time
https://www.yasa.com/products/yasa-p400/
i made a wooden mockup to see how it would fit under the 2.5 cowling
you can stack these motors together and can build a stacked motor that would destroy anything mercury has in it,s inventory
just one major issue how are you going to power it
5 years ago there was suppose to be a breakthrough in grafeen battery,s still not here
toyota,s solid state battery still not here
so unless there is a Fluxcapacitor that runs on banana peels i think we are stuck for now
i also got a dislike for battery,s since like i mentioned earlyier you cannot store them unpowered/empty
i remove the fuel from my boat end of season
that is why i think hydrogen is the way to go
it is also smarter to not rely on a single system but have multiple energy grid systems
that way if the chinese hack one system you would have some backups
same with cars if tesla is hacked they could shut down all their cars over the air
not something you want

its just that US automakers are the laggards of the world by not putting features into cars till they are forced, safety, emissions, etc
Then you have emissions trading, I sell 100 compliant engines to allow 20 polluters, Merc have used this since 2000. ( good for us we got great performance engines for a few years)
Gov going to subsidse ev's for the big 3, yes they will jump on that band wagon.

The left greening is all politics and nonsense, the EU dying because of the self inflicted stupidity.
Most of the worlds grids cant make enough power let alone green power, why are we applauding the use of more electricity?

Feb 2021, ( I think it was) Germany had big snow and no wind, and had every coal power station at 100% coal and oops no nuclear, industry shutdown.

We need to pollute less but the current answers have proven not fit for use.

Yeah not to mention that hydrogen is the most abundant material in the world. It’s the grant money that drives the tech world and what they experiment with to solve our transportation problems. Since we have effective power sources now that are being pushed aside by the “China first” bunch I don’t expect much to happen with the obviously better power sources available.

**Brad Zastrow** · 09-04-2022, 09:18 AM

The Government has not forced Tesla to build EV cars for the last 12 years. People actually want them. How else do you explain their 50% growth in sale the last few years. They are outperforming many old large auto manufacturers. One thing I have learned over the years is many people resist change. Maybe I should start another thread on 4 stroke O/B's. LOL.

Cubic Dollars ...

They called it the inflation bill. I have chicken noodle soup after an operation, my wife said it has went from .99c a can to $3.80 a can .. that looks like four times as much to me.

Politics ..

Lets call it what it really is .. climate change bill. $830,000,000,000.00 F'in dollars .. how much of that can you skim without anyone noticing .. the right scumbags are in place to do just that.
And what do the pigeons say .. when they run out of things to say .. that make any sense .. your being political. No #hiz Einstein .. follow the woke tardness .. back to the source.

America ...

I remember when we had a choice. If those that want a $hiz sammich shoved down their throat, go spend some time in china .. let me know how it tastes .. if you make it back ..

Tech ...

I have no problem with tech, or else I'd have a flip phone and dial-up internet. Pushing an agenda .. from AOC and the squad on an elderly senile grandfather that in turn mandates that "we the people" must obey, is not following tech, but a tyrannical gov.
The other night ... I heard that old brain dead man say (14 times) that MAGA is the existential threat to our democracy.
Really .. making our country great, instead of a third world country .. is a threat...??
If I didn't know any better, I'd say that the electric powered spaceship landed and sukked the brains out of 30-50% of our people.

If an open market free enterprise is left alone , it will improve on what we have now, or develop a better system of transportation.

Send a message in November ... FJB

subsidies

**Chaz** · 09-04-2022, 09:32 AM

Well comadore, it looks like you missed the memo ... I can explain what "civilization will crumble" means. If you need me too ...

Here my n**** , this inferno's for you ...

I could go on ... but , some just will never learn ...

**XstreamVking** · 09-04-2022, 09:43 AM

Tesla was heavily subsidized by the govt. unlike many others he paid it back with interest. Now the ev’s are subsidized by the taxpayers. Do some research instead of just accepting what the powers that be tell you what’s best for you and your family. They really don’t have our best interest in their plans.
