Do i own a boat? No.. Do i love sailing? No.. but this is still enjoy to watch.. love it..
Yeah i enjoyed that Journey I don't own a boat I never thought too much into selling however I envy you I respect you and your lady friend and I give you both best wishes be free my friend
I own a boat. I have solar now and a 1kw battery. I can watch this in dolby vision at 55inch and run a dishwasher
While I was working I used to listen your videos and I was admiring your creativity. Now I am starting to watch and listen carefully allover from Day 1. Because around a month ago, an American couple in San Francisco heard my story about my love of sailing and has decided to give me free their 1978 Willard 30. I live in Toronto, Canada. I have 10 months to plan, do/arrange some repairs, to move South and eventually go to Mediterrian. I would like to follow your repair steps.
Yahoo! Go for it! Video-log EVERYTHING, edit it later. You'll be surprised how useful video-logs can be weeks/months/years later.
How much sailing have you done already? A Willard 30 is some boat for a first timer; don't let that put you off though.
A basic course in electrical/electronics is invaluable (not just for boats), as too basic/survival navigating; a) just in case your tech fails, b) you'll appreciate much better how the tech works and how to make best use. AND you wont get ripped-off/held-to-ransom by folks when something simple but important goes 'pop' etc.
Keep us posted. Set up a link/site etc. People will volunteer advice and 'mistakes to avoid', don't underestimate the 'been there, done that' experience/advice.
Good luck. ;-)
geeze... I hope its not the Willard Ive been looking at on boatsales!!! 😟🤣🤣🤣🤣
The plot and the editing of this episode is just unbelievable. Thanks for the effort and hours you put in creating an episode like this!
Ditto!!!
LOL, the coffee bit was great!! I have to say i NEVER thought about living on a boat until i started watching your channel. Now it's on my mind all the time. Crap i live on the prairies.
RV or van living are similar to living on a boat. Does that appeal to you?
Sadly though it is harder to do an all electric RV vs an all electric sailboat (or low fossil fuels anyway, even with diesel most of your propulsion will be wind in a sailboat)
Wow, I have just finished watching all 220 videos, over the last 3 weeks, I feel like I know both of you now. I also feel like I spent a big part of Montreal winter sailing around the Caribbean, even though I was just snug in my house, surrounded by snow. Thanks for taking the time to make all the videos. I wish you two the best of luck.
All these years, this is the first time someone explained how it works and making it understandable ~ great vid carry-on
Cool and it's great that you found a woman that understands and is apart on building a life with you
Put a lot of time and effort into this video. Don’t know how I got here but Excellent job 🤘🏾
I haven’t even watched yet because I’m at work but i just want to say hi and I love you guys and you’re an inspiration and just wow.
The most impressive part of this video is Dan whistling the exit music in the right key.
Inspiring video. In times like this, you guys are more than likely ahead of the game.
Power always includes time. So 15kW is instantaneous power. 15kWh (the h is for hours) is stored power, meaning that you can deliver 15kW for one hour, or 7.5kW for two hours, etc. Just like batteries.
You guys are just great. Smart, resourceful and oh so cute as a couple. I so look forward to your videos each week, and have since the beginning. Thank you.
This video came just in time, when I'm about to start my own solar sailboat project (a lot of blueprints but no boat yet). You guys have been proving that people use more energy than they actually need. Cheers!
Thanks guys. The most useful explanation I have seen on the entire solar/electric system. Ever. Congrats
Sailed our boat for 23+ years...made similar revisions at various times but, it is a real joy to watch you guys do what you do with the "new" technology at your disposal. We transitioned on to shore at about digital lights time.
Love the way you interact and work together. I find myself grinning by the time you're half way through an episode (step).
Cheers to you AUM
I had watched a few of your episodes before, but never realized how dedicated you are to all solar/electric. This gives me a new respect for what you are doing, and you should be seen as one of the best examples of sustainable living. I hope other sailors follow your example.
Wow! love the adventure! Wife, dog and I are sailing Asia now documenting week by week. You're an inspiration to us novices:)
How is it going with the dog? My lady and I have a Golden Retriever are and hoping to sail for a year. I know That you have to be very prepared with paperwork between each country.
I haven't owned a sailboat since 2001, I'm very impressed with advances in tech / solar etc. and what people like you are doing with it, I love it, carry on!
I love the way they interact. Beautiful to see!
Really well done. Great vid. So many fine little touches of camera angle and perspective. Nice!
Gosh, I can't believe it's been five years already since I caught that first episode. You guys have accomplished so much in that time. Meanwhile, I have accomplished absolutely nada! lol!
Clever filmmaking, carrying the coffee line through the first part of the episode.
Standard one-size-fits-all 👍 given!
Oh come on, sailing uma has got to reply to this comment, the man has been following them from the beginning, he has earned it
@@elgranpichiricky I guess people become a little ho-hum a little humdrum what can you say
@Bard Erland I can't believe *you*, a no-content drone, think you have any place snidely snarking at a prolific, competent content producer's choice to use a commonly-used verbal-shortcut when discussing this topic. (See how this works?)
I didn't understand how all of that worked together but now I do. Thank you so much for explaining it so simplified.
You are not only travel channel .You making breakthrough in sailing boats affordable technology.
Ahhhh, my home town. Nice to see people do come to visit. You're literally a 5 minute walk from me and my boat is moored over by Cap'n Jaspers. Safe travels 🙂
just want to say thanks for inspiring me to take the plunge, I converted my 30 footer into a solar electric sailer as well, currently doing an airhead composting toilet conversion also from the original direct discharge sullage tank system.
Ok, I "thought" I would enjoy learning about your boat and adventures and then BAM! You used a Star Wars lead-in and thats it! You are the best!
I got to admit I am very impressed with how you have evolved your boat over the last few years that I’ve been watching you and I’m especially impressed with the website and the merchandise so I think it’s it’s fabulous!
Great video! Being an engineer I understood your presentation even if usage of the terms was incorrect. Let me try to help. 1,000 watts is a kW or kilowatt. That is power. Power used over time is energy or 1 kW used for 1 hour is 1 kWh or 1 kilowatt hour. For DC 1 watt is 1 volt times 1 amp. So, 48 volts times 20 amps is 960 watts or 0.960 kW. Using this power for 2 hours is 0.960 kW times 2 hours or 1.92 kWh. I hope this makes sense to you. Again, I loved the video!
A fellow enginerd!
Yes, we understand the difference, but this video was for those who might not. Hense the use of terms like "using 1kw in an hour" instead of "1kWh". Perhaps we'll make another video trying to explain that as lesson 102.
It is obvious that you understand the terms, Dan, as what you say is accurate. The problem is that using incorrect units is misleading, and highly annoying the the ocd of us. Also, i think it confuses the ones that want to learn.
No it doesn’t. Dan’s delivery is more lyrical and that makes it easier for a layman to get it.
If his terminology is off, that will self-correct for the layman as time goes by. However,
appreciate your desire to bring the correct terminology to our attention. A few more “lessons”
with Dan and then I will be able to understand your comment better. Right now, I would need
an engineer’s dictionary.
"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name." ~ Confucius
I gotta say your editing is fantastic. This is art, educational, informative and entertaining.
You guys are amazing
We are very impressed with your approach to a problem, and solving by taking a knee, and thinking through it first. You presented a wonderful explanation of Uma's power source, ... Thank you for sharing. Safe travels.
I’m so glad I found your channel. This is amazing 😎🤘🏼
Loved it when you broke out the onion paper. Brings back memories of my civil engineering design days. Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee
I admire how you continue to transform Uma to achieve abundance within the space she provides for you living on tempestuous to tranquil seas, and world ports.
Just came across your Videos. Talk about the best couple in the world. Adventure, travel, working together. Just amazing !!
I just smashed the like button. Awesome episode, as always. Thanks guys!
I really love how you went into detail with all of the electrical!!! I watch other videos and nobody comes close to how well you explain it...thank you!!
Their explanation is wrong, they mix up KW and KWh, but deleted the comments pointing that out.
Thanks you so much...i am planning to run away from this busy city than i can stay in the Ocean... Great video.. thanks for shared some information...gonna do more research before i start soon...both of you are my inspiration.
Thanks for sharing this great setup in a comprehensible manner.
I will chime in with an additional "great episode" really useful. Thank you
I really, really appreciate your creativity in visual storytelling. I love the gag that kicks off this episode. The cut to your title sequence makes me laugh every time I see it. The mix of shopping, walk and talk, and commentary just makes my editors mind so happy because it is efficient, and engaging, and just darn cinematic. The creativity in storytelling is what makes your channel unique and inspiring. Thank you.
Well stated comment!!
Sailing Uma, thank you for a really easy to understand video on electric power and consumption!
You came up as a suggestion on my feed, I'll happily follow you two as I really like your open approach... it felt like you were talking to me rather than just to an audience. ❤️❤️
Looking forward to seeing more of you, again, thank you!
After working as an off grid power consultant for many years you have given a really good tutorial on how the system works and how much energy you use. I’m also keen to hear how you go with propeller regeneration. That’s a great idea. The only nit pic is energy used daily being kWh not just kW. My boss would always pull me up on it. Great work guys. If I find my “Uma” I might see you on the high seas! 😀
Love the technical videos! Lithium ion for the win too- absolutely in awe with what you two have done on Uma. I hope you received sponsorship for the Battle Born and Victron plugs!
Very, very nicely edited. Great cast!
Absolutely phenomenal the way you were able to strategically use Ohm's law I have always tried to explain this to my subordinates but they never understood I'm so proud of you you're absolutely phenomenal and thank you for sharing
Great job you two on living the dream. Look forward to seeing more videos from you.
This episode reminded me just why I have liked this channel since the begiing: well described upgrades to the boat, smart discussions on why you run with the equipment you have, and your ability to make the viewer feel like we can follow in your footsteps (even though it is tougher than it looks).
Great comment.
Wow! Story telling, flow, editing, content. Impressive.
Exceptional episode, really liked the electrical breakdown!! Looking forward to more info on the new motor install and how it works for re-gen!! I'm not quite as married to being diesel free as you guys so I think I would install or retain a good gen set as a electric backup source but you guys are are making it work so kudos to you!!!
In the five years I have watched you guys. You have always improved. I have to say this was an excellent video. From the Camera angles and points of view. The drama of being out of coffee! The awesome cartoon explanation of your new setup (I like cartoons). Everything! As they say in England, it was brilliant!
Yes wonderful, yet please have you set up security parameters, and defensive precautions! Many blessings to you both 🙏 ✨ ❤!
Wow! Fascinating stuff about your boat! Very informative! First time watching you two and I really enjoyed it! Learned quite a bit too! Thanks and safe sailing!
Okay, this is the best explanation for energy capture, storage, and use I've come across so far. Thanks! 💙
I love the ingenuity . Logic is sometimes hard to find .
Thanks for sharing .
It's stuff like this that truely makes UA-cam important .
Great video on your sail boat upgrades, you made it very understandable 👍 I really want a sail boat.
Hey guys, best video in a while! I like the techy stuff so all good !
They explained it wrong, KW and KWh are two completely different things.
I enjoy your videos very much. They always put a big silly smile on my face. It is good to see a young couple so loving, able to do most every thing by themselves and do such a great work. Not sloppy at all. I don't live near the ocean, I am land locked, but now I have ideas of sailing and seeing the world. You make this whole venture appear so romantic.
Just "Discovered" your channel. Whoa! Thank you for the power insight and how you are using it and making it happen. Thanks for sharing, Very cool.
I’ve been waiting for more on electric Uma! I have a regenerative ketch with a torqeedo motor with giant wind gen and goal zero house battery with solar. Here’s one vote for more e-info.
Sounds wonderful sounds like people should be moving towards this in any way possible
Really interesting episode. You've got to love the food section of M&S hidden behind all the clothes but they sell the best snacks. Try the red pepper pita chips.
You two are awesome! Very well done... probably the most innovative sailors on UA-cam, at least from what I've seen. Keep up the great work and stay safe!
I'm an internal combustion kind of guy, love engines that run, got to run, however especially on a boat. good job on the electric motor conversion. Thinking about it for my boat too but the knowledge base is an uphill curve. You took on the project and did it. Great job ya'll.
Great video as usual. Great couple and inspiration
Kudos for the tip about the inverter drawing a load from the battery even when not in use. I googled and verified... you’re absolutely correct!
Thanks
shit job verifying cuus google lies a lot
@@Tripskiii Nah lad. Way behind the times. "googled" has been a generic term for at least a decade. Like IBM was for mainframe and hoover for vacuum cleaner. Can others add examples to this list?
OK I'll go first.... Hey Ratus. You forgot Xerox for photocopy.
I am studying how to build a solar panel, battery bank array, and this video gave me a lot of ideas. I SPECIALLY appreciate the diagram on where the voltage controller goes in relation to the battery bank. The distribution of the inverters and the DC converters were eye opening. Excellent help. Thank you.
Great information, just brought a boat recently and find the details very useful. You two have done amazing things. What a life you are living
I follow 3 other sailing videos too but it's your architectural design skills and meticulous craftsmanship that keeps me intrigued here. Keep it up.
I like how you told the story in this vid 👍
This was super interesting considering I am a complete recondite regarding boats and sailing, don't know why I clicked ;) but I'm Elated I did. Really inspiring and love the adventure that you both are on! Keep living, exploring and uploading. Xx
I can't tell you how helpful this was. I don't get electricity. Never have. But I can reverse engineer so much from your clear explanation that I think I can finally get on top of this stuff.
Brilliant. Many thanks!
I myself have a sailboat and I am also going to go all electric. You mentioned that you want a windturbine on you boat and I have some tips for you if you would like to hear some. I have some experience with windturbine and have contacted many companies and have my own ideas how to do it. I am an electric engineer and have a passion for renewable energy.
1. Going with a windturbine is really a great way to get energy to your boat, one of the best. Solar panels is really inefficient with about 15-18% efficiency at optimal condition. When living up north like me, or areas with less sun hours, it is not much energy you can get on few solar panels. And boats don't have much space, you can only put a few panels. So solar panels isn't that great at all when you think about it. Still it is the most common off-grid power source.
A wind turbine on the other hand is more efficient and very space efficient on what you fit on a small place like a boat. You can lots of power from one windturbine instead of having to cover the boat stern to bow with solar panels.
2. Bigger windturbine exist but they can't be found at your hardware store or hobbyist boat store. They are usually sold directly from the OEM manufacturer and many chinese manufacturers are coming up now that make bigger turbines with 1-10kw power. I have some contacts and have myself contacted a few companies. I could give you some links.
3. Noise is something to consider when you have a windturbine on a boat. Even small turbines make noise. And noise can be transferred. I have heard noise on an boat that the owner put the turbine on the mast. Because the mast is fixed to the boat in to the cabin the noise is transferred thought vibrations down the mast to the cabin and heard even inside. So try to have the windturbine away from the sleeping cabin is best.
4. VAWT is less noisy. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine is a thing and have now got better designs then previous VAWT so they are not much less efficient then a normal wind turbine. They're less noisy, safer for birds, less ugly design and could even be better on a boat that can get the wind from more infrequent directions.
5. Wind power makes sense on a sailboat. A sailboat is used in windy weather. The main thing about sailboats is the wind. You already have sails to make wind energy to forward moving energy. So putting a extra thing that takes the wind energy that isn't used by the sail to make electric energy to power an electric motor is almost the same as putting on an extra sail to move to boat forward. A sail isn't really very efficient (1.2 lift coefficient), so to use a windturbine to power an electric motor is not that inefficient as it sounds. That is actually a thing and there are boats that use only one big wind turbine instead of sails to power the boat forward. Search for windmill boat. They have the advantage that they can "sail" in any direction to the wind. If I could I would do something like that in my boat.
6. Wind turbine together with solar is a good combination. When going off-grid, you need to spread out the energy source as much as you can. To have multiple sources is best to have redundancy if one source isn't optimal because of the conditions. If the sun gone for some days or the no good wind, it is good to have both as sources for power as they help each other when the other fails.
7. A water turbine during sailing isn't the best logical thing. Use the electric motor as a generator when sailing is an extra feature, but it isn't the one of the first things you should do. People even buy small hydro turbines and retrofit them on the rear. But if you think about it, it is not that logical and efficient. When sailing you use the wind energy to get the boat up to speed. And to break that speed that you try to maintain with a water turbine sounds not like the best and straight forward thing to do. The wind energy get transformed to the sails then to moving energy to the boat then to moving to the prop and to electric energy to the water turbine. Instead you can go from same source, wind more directly to electricity with a wind turbine. The less stages you take the better. And it won't break the speed of the boat. You could even get more speed if the windturbine drives the electric motor if you haven't reach maximum hullspeed.
8. Going with higher voltage then 12 or 24 or 48v can be a benefit if have bigger setups. Equipment like inverters and motor are little bit more efficient and have motor often have more torque. Cables can be smaller more safe, less currant.
9. Electric motors is great for boats and can save lots of money compared of the amount of diesel per hour it uses, average medium size sailboat about 6l/h. When looking for a motor don't compare KW power to the HP of an ICE engine. Compare the torque. Also be in mind of peak vs continuous. A electric motor is always rated in continuous output. ICE is always peak.
Alot of that is completely wrong
@@alabastardmasterson like what if you think you know so much?
Interesting. The noise would be annoying but I can see the massive benefits.
@@alabastardmasterson Which parts? Elaborate.
This is intriguing to me also. But my interest is more in replacing tired diesel engines/fuel tanks, standing/running rigging, and sails and go all-electric. I'm not sure we are there yet but it sounds like a cool idea in principle.
The trick is storing enough energy and generating enough energy. Electric motors and controls for prime movers are a very well known commodity. Non-fuel based options for electric generation on a vessel are wind, sun, and, using regeneration, tidal. Perhaps hydrogen fuel cells but that is an area I haven't explored.
The wind turbines definitely have solar beat with respect to generation capacity. They also have solar beat with respect to an environmental and financial payback period in larger systems. I would imagine that is also true is smaller systems.
I see big solar-powered catamarans but I'm skeptical. A few experimental autonomous vessels have been solar-powered. Still, I just don't see how they could generate enough power to be a prime mover.
I will look up sail ships. Sounds interesting. A big VAWT on a ship with the generator/battery and electrics contained in the keel sounds cool. One would have to be very careful above deck :)
Awe man, that coffee scene is priceless 😂.
You are living the best years of your lives👍
Amazing all you had accomplished
Anything solar fascinates me. I enjoyed bumping into you and seeing what you are working on....thanks.
Loved this episode I was wondering about you're electric motor
A lot of the time you saw kW, you actually mean kW-h. Not power, but energy: power over time. Usually the fridge/freezer takes up most of the energy budget on a boat, despite being a low-power appliance (compared to a circular saw, microwave, or electric kettle). Mostly just a trigger for energy pedants. Thanks for the real-world summary!
Same comment I wanted to post right now.
Yes, please can everybody who wants to talk about electricity please learn the difference between kilowatts and kilowatt hours , it is like the difference between horsepower and gallons!
multiplied, not over (divide)
Cool video. Always wanted to learn sailing, tracking travel by charts, knowing location at sea, and how to navigate by stars. Awesome!
You guys are absolutely amazing. Thank you so very much, I will be watching regularly.
Great great great partnership you guys are amazing to do this and I mean it I’ve watched a lot of off grid videos but not on 🌊water kudos to you guys great video and stay together #muchlove #godspeed
Just chimin' in to help my favourite tube voyageurs. Stay comfy. :-)
I really enjoyed this thorough episode. Thank you.
Absolutely stellar! I’ve been binge watching to this point and must say you guys have reached your pinnacle in this one.
Keep up the good work, I’ll be watching.
Thank you so much for your intelligence, your youthful and energetic inspiration and your joie de vivre!!
It’s truly amazing what you guys have been able to accomplish I wish you the best for all times thanks for sharing your journey with us .
Hi Guys! I like the mix of sailing, nerdy tech, art & architecture, sweat, and local partying. 🍻
You guys are becoming incredibly accomplished little film makers! You have a great channel x
Really fascinating episode guys!!!
Great video! Love the technical breakdown of your power consumption and efficiencies with equipment.
That thumbnail stunning!
Very nice and informative video, thank your very much. A hint though: Try to geht your units right: capacity, work/energy and power are badly mixed up!
It was hinted out when the video released, but despite being the second-most-liked comment, they decided to delete it. They have some kind of responsibility with the range their channel has, and spreading explanations that are wrong really tell me all I need to know.
I'm an electrical engineer ... I especially enjoyed this posting! Thank you.
Best episode!!!!
1a Editing was excellent
1b Explanation of electrical was impeccable
2. When you picked up the coffee bag I knew it was empty and I let out an auditory gasp
3. Stringing in the humor and creative shots was very good
A+ with gold stars
Great Channel, great content, Awesome
Have you ever thought of just ditching the 120 power supplies for the electronics? If it haven't been mentioned, you should.
Rather than taking your laptops psu up to 120ac, and then back down to either 24vdc or 12vdc through the brick converter and losing energy, you could come straight of the batteries... (Same thing with all the 5v stuff, but you would need a DC/DC converter)
I loved loved loved the editing at the beginning! (I will admit that I didn’t finish the episode because my brain though I was back in school and immediately glazed over 😂) but just loved the storytelling at the front.
We finished the episode with lots of pauses to research and add tabs to the tablet 😂
Excellent. I always enjoy Dan’s drawings and explanations. He is a talented teacher, along with all the other things he’s good at. Because he applies himself and studies.
I've got to hand it to you. I don't know of anyone living closer to net zero (greenhouse gas generation) for power and transportation. Standing ovation.
When he tried to make coffee, found out he was out and said [CENSORED]. As a fellow coffee lover, I felt that.
IKR
You coffee people freak me out . I like a tea or coffee in the morning. If it ain't there I don't give a shit .
Those get out the way I need coffee people need to get a grip. Those that pretend it dousnt taste like shit and it isn't Purley an addiction really need to get a grip.
@@avancalledrupert5130 You tea people sound like the real assholes.
This generation is taking energy and living to a whole new level. You have a luxury boat, at a fraction of the cost. If more couples could manage to do this we could manage energy, consumption, living. Have a better environment for the planet
Beautiful couple! Thanks for sharing. I love the visuals and in-depth information about Uma. ☺️
Great info! Thanks and keep the tech videos coming from time to time. It’s all part of the cruising life.
