so my teachers were teaching us wrong lol, not surprised to find that out, we had some dumb teachers in school. even had one science teacher who would fail you unless you agreed with her the moon landings were all fake and we never landed on the moon because her "proof" was they were following in someone elses tire tracks when it was shown on tv lol. they taught us ALL liquids were 8lbs per gallon unless the had solid additives in them. never too old to learn new stuff and now I know not all liquids weight the same |

The chart that I found did not say what blend of "gasoline" was used to determine that it weighted 5 lb per gallon. I was actually thinking gasoline weighted much more, something like 7+ ppg. It has been a long time since I worked with these numbers.

Battery powered is the downfall. If you had unlimited access to electric power, that would be the ticket. Nothing more disheartening than a weak battery. Plus batteries are very difficult to maintain and get full performance, and life out of. Four-12Volt batteries ain't squat. You would need like 16-20 batteries for any kind of performance, and again they cost alot, and won't last 1/2 of the advertized life span.
Ask them folks w/ 100% battery powered cars....they were/are disappointed. Batteries are THE WEAK LINK !!!!! Want to become a billionaire, figure that one out. |

if you had bothered to read the info about it you would see that ALL it needs is four 12 volt 200 AH batteries to power your boat. if you don't like the idea of battery power that's fine, but don't try to misrepresent the situation. this thing works, and it works quite nicely on just four 12 volt batteries and while im sure its not the fastest thing on the water, it gets pretty good speed comparable to the speeds you get with an outboard. |

With torquedo, their batteries are a major part of their tech. I'm sure that you could use just any battery out of the store but that would most likely hurt performance. Just saying.
I do believe the battery is the week link to electric systems. Cost, weight, and longevity are the major downfalls. Like all of these electric and hybrid cars, wait until they start getting old enough for people to start having to replace and service those batteries. They are gonna hate it!

I see alot of obamacare type math and reasoning going on here... I am out of this one.
Just go buy it...you can figure out how far you can go and what weight it will add afterwards. |
