-
Very high efficiency, minimally higher than with standard electric motors with shaft

-
Regeneration while sailing or at rest in the water is possible. The batteries recharge during travel from 4 knots onwards.

Range of Rim Drive Pod 75
Travel time and range depend on the battery. In an example with a 20,000 kg heavy boat and a 100 kWh battery, we have the following measurements:
✓ Under full load, the battery lasts just under 2 hours and the boat reached a speed of 18 km/h. The range was 36 km.
✓ At 1/2 power, the enjoyment lasts for a 4-hour trip on the water at a cruising speed of 14 km/h and a range of 54 km.
✓ At 1/5 power, a speed of 12 km/h was maintained for 10 hours. In total, a range of 120 km with just one battery charge. Those planning longer and more leisurely trips on the water can go significantly further with less power.

Rim Drive Technology batteries
Rim Drive uses its own LiFePO4 batteries. The motors are perfectly matched to the lithium batteries. The batteries offer a relatively good price-performance ratio on the market and have a comparatively light weight. Alternatively, the greenboatsolutions batteries from the solar sector are also suitable.
You can see at the individual motors which batteries are suitable based on performance and capacity. The larger the battery, the better the price per kWh. The 48 V 200 Ah batteries are priced at under €500 per kWh.
Special feature of outer rotor / ring motors
The special feature of the drives from Rim Drive Technology is the shape of the ring, so the drives do not have a classic propeller shaft. The design has the advantage that nothing can get caught in a shaft, and in case of damage, the propeller blades can be replaced individually. The propeller blades are very stable and resilient.
The electrical winding is located in the outer housing (stator). The housing itself is cast and contains no seals. The inner housing (rotor) with the magnets and propeller blades is also cast, so no corrosion can occur.
The manufacturer Rim Drive Technology
The Dutch company Rim Drive Technology offers electric boat motors with power ratings from 0.5 kW to 50 kW. The existing products are continuously being developed, and new variants are regularly added.
All components are designed and developed in the Netherlands. RDT is committed to the promotion of electric drives and compensates for all CO2 emissions. Overall, RDT has been developing the motors since 2018.
The prices of the motors are clearly in the premium segment, but especially in the larger power range, there is not much that surpasses the manufacturer!
