Very interesting, Sam. The swedish company Candella is in front with their advanced hydrofoil system. The key to their success (and orderlist) is their own software which controlls everything. And their amazing duoprop motors. But still bloody expensive!
The Candela motors are simply remarkable, saw an article on them a few years ago in a article on Electrek, unfortunately the price sends chills down my spine 🥶
I'm a boat guy and am working on fuel cell powering my boat using a 100kw fuel cell and small lithium battery pack say 20kWH and approximately 100-300KWH hydrogen storage after 50% reduction for losses in fuel cell or 200-600 KWH before losses.Weight of fuel cell 250 lbs, tanks and pluming 100 lbs /200KWH(no loss) or 100lbs /100KWH (with losses). I have 400KW in fuel cells (4 units)@ 250 lbs /100kw output or 1000lbs which is probably just a little heavier then the li powered by boat you showed but 600 hp . If I used more units at lower power setting then the efficiency can get up to 65% instead of 45% for one unit maxed out.If I could get alkaline fuel cells then 65% loaded to 92% lite load efficiency. I've been working on this idea since the late 1970's Just got my diving insurance started for servicing boats so fuel cell powering in on the back burner for now.But still moving forward.
I love electric boats. I'm in process of converting my pontoon boat to electric. My plan is panels create the roof an a battery bank. I'm trying to decide which motors to use. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
We have a small inflatable tender for our sailboat fitting with a 6hp ICE At full throttle I can run for 10 hours on the 5 gal tank. The whole package with fuel weighs 175 pounds. If I were to duplicate that with electric I would need 40 kilowatt hr battery the battery itself would weigh 700 to 1000lbs. Sorry but we are not even close here
He left out how affordable it is just like how a tesla model 3 long range is over 2x the price over 5 years the boat he shows starts at ...450,000$ usd c-8 polestar
Foil lifted boats are the future but let's be aware that their higher speed is not necessarily a plus. I recently watched kite surfers during high winds on Lake Constance (Swiss-German border) and the lone foil surfer was easily twice as fast than the regular ones. Now imagine a larger number all at his top speed mixed in with recreational boaters, kayakers, swimmers, and large tourist vessels.
The foiling electric boats are not faster than regular boats. They have way less powerful engines since they need less power because they are more efficient. So about the same or slower top speed compared to gas powered boats
@@niolss You're right, and the other issue is that they don't create much wake (until they dip in close to harbor). That said, the kite surfer with foils was easily twice as fast than the other, I shot video.
I think the issue is with the speed of a kite foiled on a busy lake with many other types of recreationalists. The foil *boats* as another poster mentioned aren’t necessarily any faster than a traditional one. The only real way to deal with this potential problem is with sufficiently strong laws and people either obey them or enforcement actions take place. In Ontario I was given a warning as a teenager because my friend and I were windsurfing in and across a navigable waterway, essentially the path that motorized boats take through the lake. We simply moved to an area that permitted us to windsurf without any potential problems with boats passing through the marked channel.

Wow, awesome Bond style videos! But how new is this? Some dude called Tasman went by boat from The Netherlands to New Zeeland without any motor nor solar cells! And that was hundreds of years ago. No engine, no fuel, sustainable, no issues with water and not even with hydrofoil. The fast affordable version: beach based catamarans, but wind power on water has no limits!

Due to the excess weight of the batteries, limited range and long charging times h2 fuel cells are now being developed to overcome these major limitations.
I like all this electric variety, nice honestly countries need to buy electric long distance cargo ships 🚢 the biggest earth killer besides commercial air. Whatever country building electric cargo ships will sooner or later get buyers worldwide, when batteries become cheaper and ones like salt based or sand based are in huge amounts worldwide.

What are you talking about? Boats are smaller vehicles that are supposed to run in water, not underwater. Submarines do that. Ships are simply real large boats.
@@robeigner4390 The Electric Boat Company and thousands of ex submariners would disagree with you but I guess a landlubber can be excused for not knowing the etiquette of nautical terms
@@stevenbarrett7648 Fine, so I checked the definition of "boat" and it says a boat is also a ship and submarine so it appears any type of vessel that touches water can be a boat or ship or submarine. Saying a ship only sails on top of the water doesn't mean a boat only goes under water.

Definitely not for use in some waters of the world but lots of inland lakes that this wouldn’t be much of a concern in. Great Lakes as well have fairly few deadheads, but of course it’d only take one to make it a real crappy day. I’m guessing there’s some kind of simple replacement for a damaged one, maybe even a spot for carrying it on the boat. Better be for the prices they’re asking!
You have to be kidding. 125 HP is a 30 foot boat? I saw a lot of CGI images and one still picture. This looks like vaporware to me. Electric power for boats is coming, but it won't look like this
The electric everything is getting more and more awesome every day I reckon... that boat looks awesome, fantastic technology. The E-Foils have been around for quite some time in different sizes and applications. th-cam.com/video/8th1xDBJsvA/w-d-xo.html to me, these E-Foils are like the Electric Unicycle of water haha
I've been watching news about EV boats for some time. I'm not talking about the little trolling motors but electric motors that can power boats in the 20-30 foot range. I don't care about the millionaire cruising boats, I care abut boats I can go ocean fishing in. Hydrofoil boats are nice when you want to get someplace fast and have clean water to fly in. Fishing boats would only need hydrofoils to get to the fishing spot, then they moving around slowly when trolling. I live in an area where we often have to navigate around floating parts of trees, Orcas and whales. No way am I going to ride in a hydrofoil in my area. Hit one log and you're dead in the water. I'm hoping for large enough electric engines to power our many ferries. I'm tired of seeing oil slicks near the ferry landing and in marinas.
Damn Sam, maybe the first time I couldn't follow your thinking. How far in the future are we talking here for electric boating, you don't say but you imply it's pretty close and I think not. Hydrofoil is not popular because it's extremely expensive and restricted on where it can be used. Boating is generally a relaxing sport not an outright racing experience for most boat owners. 90% of small boat owners get out on the water, have a great day fishing or just boating, pulling inflatables, skiing etc. and go home to drink some beer and eat pizza. They are not going to pay 4 times the purchase price to do the same thing in an electric boat with no exhilarating engine sounds. Tell me if I'm wrong, I'm listening.
Gonna build an electric houseboat soon as I get a 'totaled' LR Model-Y with Tesla engine, or even degraded 60% battery. Battery recycling is not just for the materials. 35kWhs[...3 Powerwalls] will get me to the next dock⛴😃

Where does the propulsion exactly come from?
My last big ship SS Canberra could do 25 knots but would burn 500 ton of heavy fuel oil over 24 hours!
