Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

Ken, I think John was asking how your boats can vary alternator output depending on engine load.

To me this whole discussion has a couple components that are almost separate from each other. One...

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

New video from Triskel demonstrating computed efficiency of the Integrel system. Fuel consumption data in this instance undoubtedly comes from the engine's computer via J1939, but could probably be...

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

Yes, In the video Nigel states that it does read J1939 and NMEA2000 data.

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

Thanks Bruce, I'm glad to hear you're working with them! Perhaps you'll be the US Distributor?

I also got a response from Triskel, indicating they'll have more tech info published when they launch...

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

Awesome! I'm very glad to see a thorough presentation from Nigel Calder. It's amusing and reassuring to hear how he's been trying to break it without success. His "retirement gift to the cruising...

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

Here's some pics of the Integrel test bench captured from the video.

In the alternator pic, the three red cables on the left side are for the three phases of the stator windings.

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

It sounds like you've got a very comprehensive system, and could totally live without a generator - depending on how you consume electricity. Every guide always starts with analyzing your usage. Some...

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

Thats a nice looking setup, John. I wasn't familiar with the Eco-tech alternators, but they look very good, with lots of ventilation and substantial heatsinks on the internal rectifier. But that is a...

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

I'm going back and watching the videos on DSIII, which keep in mind is hull #1 for Southerly 480, and somewhat of a testbed.

Paul shows it's got a Brunton Varifold 4 bladed folding prop - so no...

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III

The website for this product is now live at https://www.integrelmarine.com/

Re: Triskel power generation system on Distant Shores III
