Hello, I would like to develop a project of a jet ski driven by batteries, electric PWC.
As you know, the typical power of a PWC is about 150 hp (112 kW). The problem I find mainly is to achieve this power to the limitation of space, weight and flotation and stability problems, and mainly budget. I also want to set as the design basis a speed of 70-90 km/h (40-50 knots).
So I'm considering reducing power about 35 kW (50 hp). Therefore:
- Do you think that would be enough power?
- For reaching targets, can be redefined impeller or propeller design, with the same power of 35 kW to reach this speed? I think that fast water jet propulsion systems is the major limitation for this Power.
Any other recomendation, comment or advice is very appreciated.
Thank you very much.
