Technology of the Rim Drive Pod 3

  • Very high efficiency, only slightly higher than with normal electric motors with shaft

  • A rim drive accelerates from zero to full speed within 1.5 seconds.

  • No wear parts and 100% maintenance-free. The bearings are water-lubricated and last for thousands of hours under normal use.

  • Recuperation possible while sailing or standing still in the water. The batteries recharge while driving at 4 knots or more.
  • You can freely choose the direction of rotation of the motors, which optimizes maneuverability, especially in dual motor configurations

  • Rim Drive also offers special underwater motors for very deep waters (used in submarines)

Technology of the Rim Drive Pod 3

Range of the Rim Drive Pod 3

Travel time and range depend on the battery. In an example with a 1,500 kg boat and a 5 kWh battery, we have the following measurements:

✓ At full load, the battery lasts just under 2 hours and reached a speed of 8 km/h. The range was 16 km.

✓ At 1/2 power, the driving pleasure lasts for a 4-hour trip on the water at a marching speed of 6 km/h and a range of 24 km.

✓ Those who plan longer and more leisurely tours on the water can go much further with less power. At 1/6 of the power, a speed of 4 km/h was achieved for 10 hours. So a total range of 40 km with just one battery charge.

Special feature of external rotor / ring motors

The special feature of the Rim Drive Technology drives is the shape of the ring, so that the drives do not have a classic propeller shaft. The design has the advantage that nothing can get caught in a shaft and if damaged, the propeller blades can be replaced individually. The propeller blades are very sturdy and resistant.

The electric winding is located in the outer housing (stator). The housing itself is cast and does not contain any seals. The inner housing (rotor) with the magnets and propeller blades is also cast, so that no corrosion can occur.
