Cosa tratta questo video
Leo Goolden repairs the hybrid electric drive system on the 1920s gaff-rigged cutter *Tally Ho* while moored in Campbell River, British Columbia.▶ 0:03 A faulty component on the hybrid controller’s printed circuit board prevented the system from regulating battery charging during high engine revolutions.▶ 0:59 After replacing the board with a unit provided by Hybrid Marine, Goolden tests the system by engaging the shaft clutch, which allows the engine to run as a generator without turning the propeller.▶ 8:14 The hybrid setup serves two primary functions: driving the propeller electrically and generating power for the large battery bank.▶ 1:34 Goolden notes that while he prefers simplicity, the high electrical demand of his onboard video production equipment and electric oven necessitates the hybrid system.▶ 4:02 By eliminating propane, he relies solely on diesel fuel.▶ 4:29 Following the repair, Goolden and Marit sail to Desolation Sound, marking their first time hoisting full sail together.▶ 13:33
