Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of SV Delos performs a trial fit of the hybrid electric propulsion system in the port engine room of their custom aluminum catamaran.0:15 The setup includes an 80-horsepower Nani N480 diesel engine paired with a 25-kilowatt Combi electric motor and an electromagnetic clutch.0:26 The clutch assembly, which allows the diesel engine to function as a DC generator, requires precise positioning; the team trims the mount to clear the hull's rudder support plates.6:09 After reassembling the clutch using a custom-built hydraulic press frame, they lower the unit into place with a chain block.12:05 The team also installs composite through-hull fittings from ThorSpar to supply cooling water for the shaft seal and diesel engine, routing the intake through sea strainers.15:34 To fabricate mounting brackets for these strainers, the crew uses a new metal bender to create clean, 90-degree aluminum angles.19:04 All components are currently tack-welded to allow for future removal, final welding, and bilge painting.1:08 Trial fitting components before final welding prevents costly alignment errors in tight engine spaces.0:07
