CE FACE SILENT YACHT-urile…TACITE???

1. Meh, nice for a stroll but unfortunately not enough to really travel the seas.
   Still really awesome boat of course. I just hope that the motors get more efficient though.

2. A battery that can be recycled! that is so exciting a step closer to green energy

3. GASS GENERATOR ?

4. Adding shore power wouldn't add a lot of weight, but would add a lot of usability for the boat. A 40A x 230V = 9,2KW would double the usable charging power. Almost empty battery would be fully charged in one sunny day at port.

5. The ultimate dream is to move away from fossil-fuels. Keep up the good work.

6. I have an idea: They need to install deployable wings (Airplane wings) from each side of the boat. More room for solar panels on top of the wings and the wings will create a small lift while sailing, raising the boat, from the water which will cause less drug and increase efficiency. The wings can be deployed like a living room in RVs, or can be positioned vertically and deploy out. Or just design the entire yacht as an airplane and have static wings.

7. I love this guy…I am buying two !!

8. foil, foil, foil?

9. Electric Yachts – FIRST thought, never visit a fuel dock again. No oil changes or oil filter messes. No fuel spills. No diesel filters or clogs or fuel treatment. No engine oil leaks that MUST be repaired ASAP. No exhaust issues. No fuel Injection repairs. No coolant services or thermostats. In a "typical" 50 – 60 foot yacht, that's a savings amounting to THOUSANDS of dollars EVERY year. Electric yachts – $$$ ZERO mechanical maintenance.

11. Hi! Great proposal! Is there any project to add wind generators to activate them when the vessel is moored to take advantage of some night breeze or wind? During navigation those could be folded. I saw also a vessel sun energy propulsive that generates hydrogen. Could it be an option to activate generators by hydrogen instead by dyno-fuel ? Thx for your great cat !

12. It is rubbish when the fuel is necessary.

13. MAybe try and get us below and actually see the battery section and how it all works as that is the most important aspect of getting us to buy. Also PRICE? That matters and if theyre $12 I'll take 400.

14. Can you get a aluminum haul too

15. That yacht is astounding and I congratulate the builders on doing their part to graduate away from our dependence on fossil fuels. Great informative video!! Thank you for sharing your journeys in the world of boating.

16. Brilliant 💕

17. The guy is quite a salesman. He pretty much told you that you can only run the motors for a few hours a day. And convinces you that it's enough. Don't try to sail it to Greenland. You'll be drifting at night

18. You make a good point that sailboats depend on wind… too much wind or too little wind is a no go… efficiency of hull is key… great insulation reduces energy loads… this is state of art.

19. If Tesla can make a car that beats all other production cars in 0-60 and 1/4 mile, then solar cat yachts need to go faster than 16 knots. Everything else is fantastic.

20. Very interesting video. I'm intrigued as to why they didn't incorporate some mini wind turbines, especially since when in use it could recapture some energy.

21. What an awesome boat, and a great idea. Kudos to Michael and all his crew.
    I think it's great that you guys made it out of recyclable materials whenever you were able. Who else does that?
    It bugs me a little that they don't answer the question of what makes it silent. I mean sure, you use solar power to charge the batteries, but you're still spinning a propeller. I'd like to see how the propulsion is handled.

    Had you considered creating a hybrid yacht? Do everything exactly as you have, but add a mast. You would only drain your battery for propulsion when there is no wind.

22. Wonderful. What about photovoltaic paint? And windows? Imagine if the entire superstructure was a solar panel!

23. What about lightning strikes? I know sailboats ground the masts, what do Silent Yachts do to prevent short circuits?

24. This is SOOOO Amazing! if you look at the costs of the regular yacht this is a game changer. Yachts De-Centralized!

25. I love this guy. Smart and well spoken. This company is going to do great behind guys like this.

26. What do these silent ones cost? I wish I can afford one, or at least dream of owning one.

27. This is good and honest. Is there any consideration to capturing potential energy from :

    Small wind turbines
    Propeller shafts
    Cavitation from propeller wash

    Thanks

28. Michael each time I read more about you and your wife I hear only positive about what the two of you have worked so hard for past 30 years to finally achieve 6 models you can produce for sale to the public. You help me to push myself so I don’t give up. Can’t wait to see your next big breakthrough. Keep fighting, Thanks

29. Why don't install solar panels on sides like sunreef eco? Thank You!

30. I understand the physics behind the trampolines in the bow of sailing catamarans ( we want the air pocket to release air pressure so we don't plain) , but on a plaining power boat wouldn't a solid bow aid in lift for plaining? Just wondering why they chose that design. ??

31. I like this guys honesty tbh. When the Silent 100 releases I might sell some crypto and buy one.

32. I wish they had a motor power curve on their website so it would be easier to calculate if it fits persons needs and also can you charge the batteries with shore power? I don't really like using generator so i would to charge it with shore power instead if solar is not enough. Maybe a 22kw type 2 charger would be good for this and it's relatively easy to install it too.

33. 8 knots into a 10 knot sustained headwind???? Also, how about cruising in/out of the Haulover Inlet?

34. Wow that is my favorite boat thank you look forward to more videos about this boat and others like it

35. Love your coverage of the Silent Yachts and noticed you like to take questions 🙂

    1) They have the kite setup in the front. Was wondering if they have tested to use the force on the propeller for "regenerative breaking" in the motor and charge the battery packs. If I am not mistaken not all motors can do regenerative breaking though…
    2) Besides Silent Yachts. Am endlessly fascinated by foils. And came accross a paper where they tested foils on a catamaran to reduce resistance. The take away is increased resistance at slow speed (foils are in waters way), reduced resistance at higher speeds (boat lifts earlier). As Silent Yachts are all about optimising efficiency. I was wondering if they have toyed with foils. Obviously the break even speed above which resistance becomes less would need to be sufficiently low. Preferably below or at low cruising speed. Not a good idea to make the most efficient speeds less efficient. But if the 40kw for 8knots could be lowered without affecting 6knot 20kw. Might be worth having higher sub 6knot energy consumption. Or slightly higher 6,8knot resistance but 10+knots significantly lowered….

    anyway. thanks for all your coverage of these marvels. Looking forward to more. Tours of the 80? 120?

36. ok so this is a very nice and good idea and i am sure it works very well. but it ugly man!!!! i still want one though.
