On june 14th we presented our ZERO-emission catamaran project and our electric propulsion and regeneration system to a specialized audience at the Cleantech Flanders seminar Technology in action : Battery Management Systems.
Technologie in Actie: batterijmanagementsystemen Op 14 juni vond de Technologie in Actie ‘Batterijmanagementsystemen’ plaats in Houthalen. Cleantech Flanders, VITO/EnergyVille en VITO organiseerden samen een workshop over elektriciteit als duurzame energiebron voor bijboorbeeld het productieproces in een bedrijf.

Komt U ook naar dit event ? Optimus Yachtbuilders licht er een tipje van de sluier inzake het state-of-the-art energiemanagement dat wordt toegepast op de nieuwe Optimus 45 !
Technologie in Actie: batterijmanagementsystemen Overstappen van fossiele brandstoffen naar duurzame elektriciteit is eenaantrekkelijke en strategische keuzevoor je bedrijf. Het (gedeeltelijk) opslaan van de opgewekte elektriciteit en gebruikmaken van eenbatterijmanagementsysteemop maat van de toepassing is de toekomst geworden.

Look at what UNIZO (is the largest Flemish organisation for self-employed entrepreneurs and champions the interests of these entrepreneurs) wrote in their magazine about us :
Zero Emission Catamaran? "Die bouwen we dan toch gewoon zelf." Optimus 1. Licht en performant, energiek en toch stijf Als het Latijnse spreekwoord 'nomen est omen' (vrij vertaald: jouw naam is een voorteken) al op

And the winner is...Oceanvolt ServoProp! The DAME jury said "As pure electric propulsion moves from novel concept to more widespread use, the Jury welcomes efforts to improve the efficiency of the installation. A problem for electric sail drives with conventional feathering props is that they cannot regenerate electricity under sail. Oceanvolt’s Servoprop overcomes the issue by providing variable pitch control. That improves propulsion and sail efficiency, but the prop can also be opened to provide up to 1kW of generated energy at 6-8 knots through the water. It was this specific feature for which the Jury assigned the Servoprop a category win over some other strong entries."
