Jim Waltz's video: Daedalus D80: Amazing Zero Emission Yacht generates Energy from the Wind Sun and Sea

D80 from Daedalus in North Carolina features a cutting edge hybrid-electric regeneration system that converts excess electricity into hydrogen that can be stored on board. Daedalus is a supercat capable of blazing across the oceans at previously unseen levels of speed and comfort. The new D80 is as modern as a yacht gets in every aspect, from its cutting-edge styling, performance lines and build to its fully automated sailing ability – but particularly with regards to its full hybrid technology and potential to roam the globe emission-free. The advancements in multihull design in the recent years have seen every sailing record tumble. The D80 takes the design lessons from grand prix multihull record breakers and blends them with the latest advances in electric propulsion, lithium batteries, solar power and hydrogen systems to promote zero emission cruising. The D80 uses twin electric motors connected to the propellers, powered by a huge battery bank. When the propellers rotate the electric motors generate power to recharge the high power lithium battery bank. A neat part is that once the batteries are topped up, excess electrical energy will be stored as hydrogen. The Daedalus team calculates continuous free power of over 50kW is achievable. Hydrogen is generated onboard and the energy is stored in BMW lithium battery banks.
