It seems as though I am always looking at or for what is next. What are the available power options on the table for original designs or rebuilders?
A few things I've stumbled on:
ZF Marine offers full packages
Siemens PEM fuel cells (currently running in several types of submarines)
There are a variety of different joystick controls systems on the market and a host of fly-by-wire options
There are also several pod drives out there that could be viable retrofits.
I have some ideas for what a complete hybrid drive system might be. I just haven't seen one anywhere yet. I assume the cost would be ridiculous.
