  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2023
  • The Navier 30 is an all electric hydrofoil powered by two Borg Warner 90 kW electric motors. This boat flies above the waters surface on three hydrofoils that are fully operated by aeronautical software. With zero emissions and a rapid charge time this very well may be the perfect fit for commuters or small passenger boats operating around major cities.

      go to youtube and find 20' ( pontoon hydrofoil) pontoon hydrofoiling 250miles in Atlantic with 75 hp that used 58 gallons of fuel. The future is here. Hydrofoiling. Henry Ford took us from horse and buggy with no mechanics and no fuel stations on each and every corner. Hydrofoils will take us into the "green" future even though they were designed and proven in 1914 by Alexander Graham Bell. This is REAL. Merry Christmas to all!

      Depends on wave height I suppose. If over 3 or 4 feet water will make contact with the hull. Not sure what happens then. It would have been a question I would have asked. Also, obviously there is a payload limit, how is performance effected as you get closer to the payload limit? Since the engines provide more power than needed while on the foil maybe a shorter range? The limit is probably based on the engines being able to get up on the foil in the first place.

      They do amazingly well in waves that are proportionate to the size/height limit of the foils, bigger boat bigger waves. I see the local foil tour boat go by frequently while I’m fishing in fairly heavy seas and it cuts through without any jarring.

    I got to see a live close-up boat like this one while out on the Willamette River in Oregon one day when I was fishing. These types of boats are spooky quiet. The boat that I saw was part of a selected military stealth spy boat competition that was being tested for its overall stealth speed and quietness while running in the water. Most boats put off a wake, which can be heard coming to you, but this thing never even made a wake or noise at all, and if it was not for turning around, we never would have even seen the boat go by us. Because these boats are so quiet and do not make a water wake, they are almost invisible, and a person would almost even know that a boat like this was even by you; it was very creepy to not be able to hear or see a boat make a wake or any waves on the water and yet then spot a boat like this go by you.

    The starting price for the Navier 30 electric hydrofoil is US$375,000. However, the actual price may vary depending on customization options and dealer markup. Navier offers a variety of customization options, including different color schemes, seating configurations, and onboard electronics. Additionally, dealers may add their own markup to the base price.
    Here is a breakdown of the Navier 30's pricing structure:
    Base price: US$375,000
    Customization options: Varies depending on options chosen
    Dealer markup: May vary depending on dealer
    As a result, the final price of a Navier 30 could be anywhere from US$375,000 to US$500,000 or more.
    Here are some of the factors that can affect the price of a Navier 30:
    Color scheme: Different color schemes can add a few thousand dollars to the price.
    Seating configuration: Options for additional seating or a convertible cockpit can increase the price.
    Onboard electronics: Options for upgraded navigation systems, entertainment systems, or autopilot can add several thousand dollars to the price.
    Dealer markup: Dealers may add their own markup to the base price to cover their costs and generate profit.
    If you are considering purchasing a Navier 30, it is important to factor in the cost of customization options and dealer markup. It is also a good idea to get quotes from multiple dealers to compare prices.

    Beautiful! As an ex-Aero weenie - and E-foil enthusiast - its great to see such innovation. Just from this video - it seems that forward pilot visibility could be improved and this may be more critical when up and flying at speed among traffic. Also, I would imagine future shapes could be refined to reduce drag on the ship moving thru the air - not an insignificant number I would imagine. Would be nice to see the technology pushed downwards at some point to make it affordable to many recreationalists. Keep up the great work!

    Rich passage ferries (designed by teknicraft and built by All American Marine) are foil assisted and actually speed up to reduce wake.

    * Can you bump to the ground little bit or is it the biggest risk? Are hydrofoils easy to replace and expensive if yes if that happens ?
    * What if you catch fishermen lines ?
    * What is the maximum waves height/chopiness you can use this or is it flat lake water mostly?

    Hydrofoils have big advantages and big disadvantages. I don't think that electric ones really differ in terms of those advantages and disadvantages from internal combustion ones - the propulsion is sort of a separate issue. On flat water or on a small chop, they are incredibly fast and efficient due to far lower drag. When the chops gets up, things get wild. Being in a hydrofoil when the waves are hitting the hull and throwing it in the air is......exciting. Back in the 80s, there was a regular hydrofoil service from the Isle of Wight to Southampton. I loved them, they were very cool, but they were much more readily stopped by bad weather than the catamarans which work the route now. The cats are much bigger, so I guess that from an economics point of view, a cat provides less drag than a monohull of the same length, and more carrying capacity, and it must be a better deal in terms of purchase costs and maintenance vs fuel consumption, because the service has not gone back to hydrofoils.

    Great! But why not make the front of the boat and windshield more aerodynamic?

    • @EricGoetzMusic
      @EricGoetzMusic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Boats travel at much slower speeds than cars, so wind resistance is a smaller factor. In the case of this boat, it seems they traded aerodynamics for more passenger space in the front of the boat. Seems like a worthwhile compromise.

    • @Sonnell
      @Sonnell 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@EricGoetzMusic Boats, sailboats especially affected by wind a lot. Aerodynamics is very important. And this boat travels at such a high speed that it will affect it a lot as well. Especially electric boats, as they have a capacity problem, so the win is a lot more here.

    • @EricGoetzMusic
      @EricGoetzMusic 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Sonnell I dunno. The front of the boat looks pretty aerodynamic to me. It literally looks like the front of a racing sailing hull. As for the windshield… again it just depends on whether or not you want to sacrifice 1 or 2 feet of passenger space in the front to get an angle on the windshield-having been around boats my whole life, I'd generally rather have the space then a couple extra MPGe. That's especially true if the design of the boat is to move as many passengers as efficiently as possible. Just my 2 cents and a guess about why they made the design decisions they made.

    • @live2boat
      @live2boat  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Similar situation in the Pacific Northwest and coast of California with tons of crab pot buoys. When I was chatting with Sam he mentioned that if a foil breaks or is impaired in some way the software kicks in, adjusting the other foils to give it a soft landing.

  • @daemn42
    @daemn42 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Wish he'd stop referring to it as an "airplane". No air involved. It's a hydrofoil with active stabilization. Not the first to do so, but a very nice implementation. BTW, would love to have seen it do "a full 360 in sport mode in 60 feet". The physics on that doesn't quite add up, at least while it's on foils.
