Jim Waltz's video: Solar Powered Non-Stop Cruising: Aquanima 40 Solar Eclipse Catamaran Yacht

Singapore-based Azura Marine unveiled a new $500,000 electric yacht that they claim can complete “non-stop ocean voyages powered only by sunlight.” The electrification of transport is slowly spreading into maritime transport. While the focus has been commercial vehicles like ferries, it is also reaching leisure and personal vessels. Azura Marine is the latest to enter the space with its first solar-powered catamaran yacht, the Aquanima 40 series, unveiled earlier this month in Bali, Indonesia. Azura Marine claims that the vessel can continuously cruise thanks to its large 10 kW solar power system and 60 kWh battery pack. Here are some of the specs of the Aquanima 40 series: • LWL 11,5 m • LOA 13,25 m • Beam 6 m • Draft 65 cm • Propulsion Power: 2 x 10 kW • Solar Power: 10 kW • Main Battery Bank Capacity: 60 kWh The company writes about the capacity of the electric vessel: “For the owner, this means limitless cruising with no fuel costs, no noise or vibration, no smells, no polluting emissions and no disturbance of marine life. The electric motors are virtually maintenance-free with only a couple of low-cost bearings to be replaced at 20,000 hours (more than a typical lifetime usage of a yacht).” Music: Fragments by AERØHEAD | https://soundcloud.com/aerohead Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US Concept Boat barco de concepto barco conceito barca di concetto Konzeptboot 概念船 コンセプトボート अवधारणा नाव konsept tekne Amazing boat tolles Boot barco incrível barca incredibile barco asombroso geweldige boot 很棒的船 素晴らしいボート अद्भुत नाव muhteşem tekne electric boat barco elétrico barca elettrica elektrische boot elektrisk båt perahu listrik bateau électrique elektrisk båd Elektroboot 電動船 電気ボート elektrikli tekne बिजली की नाव Torqeedo Solar watercraft Solar boat barco solar barca solare solbåd zonne-boot Solarboot perahu surya bateau solaire güneş teknesi ソーラーボート 太陽能船 सौर नाव
