I hae recently found information on a new type of
motor, the "electric wheel". It is sold by Solomon
technologies, David Tether, 301-274-4479.<br>It is designed so
that it will regenerate the batteries by letting the
prop turn while sailing. It sounds like it could be
just the ticket for the cruising sailboat. This unit
with a solar panel should not need any outside
charging. If your electricity usage is high, you may need
to add a wind generator as well. But, it sound like
you could go without any type of fossel fuel powered
generator to keep your batteries up. Has anyone else heard
about this?
