I'd like to see more batteries to run the electric a little longer. Maybe enough to get 100 miles at 5mph. Maybe one of the Tesla battery packs for homes. I'm sure I'm not saying anything that they haven't already looked at though. Greenline is on the cutting edge. Very nice boats too.
Have you ever thought of the following? * using Kites as part of Sail to enhance the range and save on batteries? * using thin film solar panels printed on the kites to generate extra power? * using H2/ Fuel Cells to supplement batteries and replace Diesel completely?
Great question. I was considering something similar. Thin film solar photovoltaic on a sail and kite would be ideal. Even a wind turbine could be considered.
Do this without so much luxury, it's not needed and try using a trimaran configuration. It gives as much solar real-estate as needed, still allows for usable space, and allows for a lighter faster result. Even adding small sails on a trimaran can be done without shading all panels.
For some people its the journey/cruise and for some its the destination, for me its the latter so I want to meet friends at a port 60 miles away, how long would it take to travel that distance.
I subscribed the moment you said they were there in fort Lauderdale and you actually went to speak to someone about it. Awesome channel bro can't wait to see where this goes. Maybe visiting some clean energy installations or a headquarters? Tesla or Workhorse? 🤔
A little more effort would be expected to keep the panels from being shaded by the radar....7:22. Be cool to see a Cebro and it's display instead of the Color display.... Bluetooth is awesome. Amazing to see hybrid tech in a boat.
SO... I have to ask... How much diesel is used to run those generators? Laws of thermodynamics says it must be similar to the power used by the electric to move the boat. So near net 0 savings.. So confused.
I saw another video where they advised you keep switching from electric to diesel. I would assume that if you're going on a long trip and you're not in a particular hurry, you would use the diesel only until the the batteries are topped off, at which point you can switch to electric and go the 20 or 30 nm, and then switch to diesel again. If the diesel is charging the battery while the boat is moving, does that use more diesel per distance compared to if you didn't use the generator to charge the battery? If the diesel usage difference is minimal, isn't that like free power to go the distance when you're on electric?
@@sharkracer it takes diesle to run the Generators. Much more than just what it would take to run the prop. generators add losts of resistance to the drive shaft as well as charging is not a 100% efficient process. For example say the deisle makes 10kw of energy, something less then 10kw, possible 20% or more will come out of the electric prop. ) It is the opposite of free energy as you put it. It is not free. Bottom line is use more diesle
@@carterjohnson25 I'm not talking about a standalone generator. AFAIK, the Greenline doesn't have a standalone genset anyway. The guy said in this video that when you are using the diesel engine, the electric motors act as generators, regenerating power to charge the batteries. My original question above was, if you compared the engine/motor combination from the boat above, compared to the same boat with the same engine but no electric motor, and you had them go the same distance, how much difference would there be in diesel consumption. And I'm simply saying that if there is negligible difference, that is 100% free power. And if there is significant difference in consumption between the two boats, then by comparing the consumption difference, we can draw a conclusion as to whether it would be more economical to just use the diesel or use a hybrid engine/motor combo like the Greenline.
@@sharkracer Somebody help me explain here. I'm seem to not be articulating well. Running the electric motors backwards is just a generator, that adds significant resistant to the drive train and burns more deisle. After the charge and discharge process (that is not 100% efficient) is net negative vs just running diesle to move the props. Regardless, there are so many usecases where the electric functionality make the extra marginal extra diesle used worth while. This is the benefit and I personally believe it is massive. For example use the electric in and out of harbor, (no diesle). Charge at the harbor for next trip. This use case cuts down on diesle though will increase your electric bill. Depending on where you live and how your power is created this could be Neutral all the way to massive savings in cost and environmental impact. Just no free energy though but burning diesle to charge batteries.
So being that the world world is quickly falling apart and fuel will be a thing of the past and what is left will be controlled by mobs..Can I use this boat totally on solar power and will solar power run a desalinization system😉
I think these yachts are given away for FREE cause can't seem to find the price tags even on their website...It just pisses people off for wasting their time!
Hi TK, The full line of Greenline Yachts in our inventory are located on our website. YachtSalesInternational.com. All of the inventory yachts have prices listed. Please contact us if you need any more questions answered.
Except for the fact that they are mass produced and you actually could get yours hands on one. Without paying more than what a similar size yacht from other manufactors would cost. That said i think Silent yachts are awesome they are just not ready to mass produce anything yet, and therefore can not be compared to greenline.

Fantastic... A balanced approach to lowering the footprint and still keeping it real. Thanks.
I like it. The future is definitely electric
Diesel is the future tooo, plus it can run with used oil and CNG/LPG......
I'd like to see more batteries to run the electric a little longer. Maybe enough to get 100 miles at 5mph. Maybe one of the Tesla battery packs for homes. I'm sure I'm not saying anything that they haven't already looked at though. Greenline is on the cutting edge. Very nice boats too.
i just found your channel and im already in love with it.
Exciting Tech!

* using H2/ Fuel Cells to supplement batteries and replace Diesel completely?

Yes but that would work on diesel to as long as your slow. I would bother during a zombie uprising to make sure i just kept moving.
Fuel cell application please!!
Do this without so much luxury, it's not needed and try using a trimaran configuration. It gives as much solar real-estate as needed, still allows for usable space, and allows for a lighter faster result. Even adding small sails on a trimaran can be done without shading all panels.
Awesome Video!🎥
like the look of the solar panels
Nice solar boat
Cool video. Thanks
what about ability to face rough waves? is it already passed the capsizing test?
Luxurious
Great idea!!
For some people its the journey/cruise and for some its the destination, for me its the latter so I want to meet friends at a port 60 miles away, how long would it take to travel that distance.
The Greenline 48 featured in the video has a cruising speed of 16kts. Higher speeds are possible with available engine upgrades.
I LOVE THAT IDEA! I wish I had the money lol
Wish they published this models air draft.
can you install windpower to keep the batteries charging while in motion?
She will be mine, oh yes she will be mine.
I subscribed the moment you said they were there in fort Lauderdale and you actually went to speak to someone about it. Awesome channel bro can't wait to see where this goes. Maybe visiting some clean energy installations or a headquarters? Tesla or Workhorse? 🤔
Thanks bro. Yeah I have a few more videos in the works right now.
A little more effort would be expected to keep the panels from being shaded by the radar....7:22.
Be cool to see a Cebro and it's display instead of the Color display.... Bluetooth is awesome.
Amazing to see hybrid tech in a boat.
They could have also laid out the panels in landscape mode and have six instead of four.
Is it possible to add more batteries to extend the range?
Why not run higher voltage like 48volt system? Or potential run higher voltage and run the dc motors at more efficiently
nice
Check out Herley boats in NewZealand for their electric powercat
I want one now. How available are they?
Contact us at Info@yachtsalesinternational.com and we can discuss availability
Diesel ?
Where can you find the company's website

You should look into Silent Yachts
Made a video on the silent 55 few months ago ua-cam.com/video/nVG5SMwxLYY/v-deo.html
So being that the world world is quickly falling apart and fuel will be a thing of the past and what is left will be controlled by mobs..Can I use this boat totally on solar power and will solar power run a desalinization system😉
It’s sad that such outdated technology is considered new in marine use.
Good idea but battery far too small and solar far too little. 2.4kw solar is nothing. Need at least 10kw solar and 80kwh batteries.
Why? I think this boat has a different customer in mind.
4-5 knots? Wouldn’t sailing be quicker
Wish tesla would make the cyber boat

looks like a big boat NOT A YACHT
Seems cool but like 3 times overpriced.
