FREE ENERGY – 1000 Mile Hydro Generator SAILING Trial - On Luckyfish we are well on the path to supplying all our energy needs, on anchor or under sail, using renewable energy. With the installation of a hydrogenerator, we can now meet all our energy demands when passage making. At just 5 knots of boat speed the hydro gen produces the same amount of power as a good quality wind generator in 18 knots of apparent wind. Something we rarely see as we spend much of our time reaching or running. We estimate the unit produces about 0.2 knots of drag, or costs us about 5 nautical miles a day if we keep it immersed full time. In this video we look at our unique installation solution and the performance of the unit over a 1,000 mile sea-trial.

None of this would have been possible without the love of sailing from fellow sailors. That pretty much covers it.
