The Future of Marine Travel: The Fully-Electric, High-Performance Motor Boat

Hall, Riley P 01 January 2017 (has links)
Fully-electric powerboats are few and far between and have yet to capture any significant market share away from traditional gasoline powered boats. However, with advances over the last 5-10 years in battery technology, an electric boat is not just a possibility, but an attractive one. By combining Tesla’s innovative battery and motor technology with thorough analysis of every component of a boat’s design—hull form, interior and exterior aesthetics, performance, comfort, efficiency, materials, and function—a fully-electric, high-performance motor boat is clearly realistic. Depending on a variety of variables, this hydrofoiling catamaran with quad-motors and batteries can overcome hydrodynamic and aerodynamic resistance to reach max speeds over 50mph and a potential range of 200-300 miles all while maintaining a high, but luxuriously comparable cost of $100,000-$400,000.

Development of a usable website for an electric motorboat drag racing physics project

Barry, Reno Don 01 January 2006 (has links)
The project developed a web site for a high school physics projected called "Electric Motorboat Drag Racing." The web site was produced following the ADDIE instructional design model (analyze, design, develop, implement, evaluate) and was designed using key usability concepts identified through research: speed, content, appearance, and navigation (SCAN). The web site was developed and tested by asking experts for their feedback and by having participants use the web site. The web site was implemented in physics classrooms and data from 43 participants were evaluated. The data showed 97 percent of the participants' boats successfully completed the five-meter drag race. It also showed that the two targeted California physics standards were selected most often by participants as the standards they most needed to apply, learn, or review to complete the project. Through testing and evaluation, the web site was made more usable and the project helped physics students learn and apply specific physics concepts while gaining hands-on experience.
