Diesel ships are really good. Ships cost so so so much its nice that theyre if simple and reliable as possible. But theres no doubt that we can reduce a huge amount of port emissioms withohtnhabing to convert the worlds diesel merchant vessel fleet to expensive hybrids. Maybe some but where the real advantage is i agree its the tug boats. When the ships come to where the masses of people are you cam cut the engines out at sea and pull them in with these hybrid tugs its actually clearly better in certain aspects and whether its worth it really depends on how long the batteries last and what the overall prices of operating maintaining repairingnand repalcing parts is over the vessels lifespan. To some degree jusy a straight compression engine vessel is advamtageous brcause they use such massive pistons the rpm is los and they cam run for a very very long time. You go to hybrid they will shrink the engine considerably and grow the battery and youll emd up with a small motor working hard to charhe a big dead weight battery thay weighs lot empty or full. You can see this tug the battery takes up the hole bottom but i mean the hybrid application there is also more affordable ton making the big panamaxes and capesizes etc hybrids. If the battery dies and it runs out of juice they are usually working in and out around ports. Thats a good application that will increase air quality in the areas that matter the most. If youre sending a uber giant vessel around africa you dontnwam tto have to keep stopping for both electricity and fuel when before you only needed fuel or didnt even depending on the vessel. I was looking at some vessels that run on natural gas because natural gas in liquidifed form compressed to less than 600x the volume in its gasseous form so the numbers are promising. So liquified natural gas tankers will run on natural gas. Sometimes its just the nature of the application that determines what fuels one ship over another. For different reasons its pretty interesting. Hybrids started popping up but most ships run on straight up supermassive bunker fuel compression engines like oil tankers and bulk carriers, container ships. Even if you only had hybrid tugs that would make a big difference in key areas in terms of air quality

@hanzzel6086

20 күн бұрын

​​Well, for the big ships you probably would be going back to running them as straight Deisel-Electric, like locomotives or the old U.S Standard type battleships. Basically running the engines as generators, which would then directly power the electric motors moving the ship. You could add some batteries to run the ship for a few hours coming into/out of port. Ships use port supplied power while berthed, and they could also charge their batteries there, further reducing engine run time. You can also add wind propulsion aids to ships to further reduce fuel needs (but not eliminate them, modern ships are just far to big and have too strict of deadlines to rely too much on the wind).

Fantastic video! Love the electric tugboat that was so quiet that you didn't hear it pulling away from the pier!

I love Chace's humble smack talk "You all should be ashamed that we had to make this"

Right to repair and ease of maintenance will be Edison Motors legacy! I'm sure big companies will run with the hybrid ideas, but their beancounters will not be able to let go the priority parts. Good job to you young people for taking back a kicked to the curb market.

Chace speaks wisdom as far as no “transitional” step to EV’s. The truck components are economical, available, and proven over decades, so don’t mess with them. A lot of the electric systems are also more common, much more so than the OEM’s are trying to put out. Being hybrid, you can choose to use your yard infrastructure, or go long haul, using existing support and facilities for fuel, light maintenance, and simply parking. You are free to embrace change as it comes along, and able to maintain full operation during emergency and disaster situations when you’re literally on your own. This means real world thinking without sacrificing your drivers and your business to the sheer stupidity that is prevalent in the EV space of trucking at the moment. Can’t wait to see Topsy wearing out some tires on the road.

i like that you accept constructive criticism, essentially it's an open design, only the cab design is really yours, and even that is mostly open. it's possible 'to edison spec', built by other companies, could revive truck building in other parts of the country, you're on the way to doing it with the work truck conversions. so, entirely open, based on a spec, send out your own inspectors to verify, so other companies have an easier time getting theirs street approved?

The canEV reminds me of the Taylor Electric truck that I used for probably 18 years and it was the most dependable machine we owned. This is an improvement because the body is easier to repair and less sheet metal in fenders. We were on the ocean in a sea port and the corrosion on the body was the only problem. It hauled more weight than anyone could believe and the maintenance was just cleaning battery terminals once a year. I hope this company does well

love you guys keep up the good work you make perfect sense, good presenter too- have you looked at super caps for initial grunt?

All awesome stuff. And totally agree with your statement on proper hybrids at the end. I think the biggest mistake Ford could have made was abandoning the fusion. They should have went with an electric drive train like a BEV and add a small onboard generator, like Topsy, but smaller. They would have killed the market.

I like that peterbilt, for the owner operator who wants to be home daily I could see how that truck could easily drive all day and charge most of the way or all the way at night.

The tug boats were surprising to see. Growing up around lakes it always seemed crazy to have super dirty boat exhaust just pumped directly into the water. Seeing the oil spread all over the surface of the marina water always seemed wrong. Especially when it’s on a reservoir where cities source their water. I think lake fishing, ski, and pontoon boats would be another great application. Definitely annoying to listen to the generator constantly running on a houseboat too.
