  1. The Eider Electric Tanner Cornell Ryan Mccollum Nathan Elser Engr. 493 – April 13th, 2009

  2. Group Dynamics • Diversity – age/major • Leadership Vs. Domination • Decision Making

  3. A Look Into Woodman Boats • Located in Kennebunkport, Me • Owned/Operated by Capt. Richard Woodman • Manufactures Electric Boats as well as restores older model boats A 1926 Hacker Runabout reproduction The Eider Electric A 1920 Step Hydroplane reproduction

  4. On the Market Today • Becoming more common, but not too prevalent • Easy to recharge • Often an eyesore

  5. 15’ 8” LOA • 4’ 8” Beam • Maximum Capacity = 700lbs. The Eider Electric

  6. Minn Kota 36 volt motor • Three 12 volt marine batteries • Run time about 5 hours on full charge The Eider Electric

  7. 62 Watt output • 4.5 lbs. • Flexible • Built to Military Specifications • $750.00 Each The Eider Electric

  8. Motor draws about 215 watts per hour • Two panels can produce up to 124 watts per hour Roughly 2:1 ratio (2 hour charge ≈ one hour run time) (10 hours of prime conditions ≈ full charge) The Eider Electric

  9. The Eider Electric

  10. Profit Margin up to $675 The Eider Electric

  11. To calculate the CO² emissions from a gallon of fuel, the carbon emissions are multiplied by the ratio of the molecular weight of CO² (m.w. 44) to the molecular weight of carbon (m.w.12): 44/12. CO² emissions from a gallon of gasoline = 2,421 grams x 0.99 x (44/12) = 8,788 grams = 8.8 kg/gallon = 19.4 pounds/gallon (Environmental Protection Agency) 101lb. thrust electric motor ≈ 5 hp outboard engine 5hp outboard engine consumes ½ gallon per hour 5 hours electricity ≈ 2.5 gallons gasoline 2.5 gallons x 19.4 lbs. = 48.5 lbs. CO² Emissions SAVED The Eider Electric
