“Total System Design”

Jeff Jordan will present “A Boat for All Speeds” at the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) Technology, Systems & Ships Symposium in Washington D.C., June 18-20, 2019

Jeff will outline the advantages of a “total system design” using electronic controls to reduce hull drag, increase motor efficiency, and increase conversion of shaft power to thrust. He will discuss how these controls are effective over the full matrix of boat loads and boat speeds.

While the main benefits in military applications are performance, range, safety and reliability, this technology will also reduce the carbon footprint of recreational and commercial boats.

Total system design features are applicable to gas, electric and hybrid systems.

In prior papers to the Department of Energy and the EPA, Jeff has shown that carbon emissions of the entire transportation sector can be reduced by over 1% using this technology on recreational boats alone.
