"eco" tugboat

[atoll]

just recieved this from a friend,sea trials on a new wind powered off shore supply vessel............40mw wind generator powers batteries for new diesel electric hybrid.

[Lancerbye]

Is this a New Years April fools thing. 40 mw is enough power to supply a fair size town. Like 1800 homes. Maybe 40kw ?

[deckofficer]

I think it is either photo shopped or it is a supply vessel delivering an offshore wind turbine.

[atoll]

must be 40 kw,details are still coming in though,i think its still a bit hush hush..

Here's an un-photoshopped version of the same vessel. Deep Cygnus

you can just see on the spec where they mounted the turbine..........

[MacG]

It' s nicely photoshopped. And no, 40 kW cannot even drive a canoe. (So to speak). The supplier is just in place in front of this "seamill" providing this image.

The new "terror of the sea" - not in US waters but in the North Sea. Unholy pipedreams of the national power & gas providers to sell their "Green Program" to the Governments and getting huge provisions for their environmental disturbing actions.

40Kw = 53.6 hp, hardly enough

[atoll]

definetly not photo shopped! but you are right its "deep cygnus" stern too a wind turbine pylon,

one of my protege' sent me this,the wind cat he drives is in the foreground.

sorry such a great shot couldn't resist!!!

[Lancerbye]

An average home will have a 100amp service which requires 22Kw at max.

23 and 27 minutes to blow the cover of "hush hush". This forum is on its toes.

I HAD LANCERBYE GOING!!!!! LOL

[deckofficer]

I used to generate 32Mw onboard, but it took (7) 900 rpm diesels to do it.

[atoll]

yes i thought 40 mw was what those turbines put out,will keep it in mind next time we have a wind generator thread!!!
