Hi I started making a SWATH Vessel but I got bored doining it so I am gonna do a big electrical vessel.
I'm gonna make it in Sketch up first then later in Gmax.
I have an great idea for it so just wait and see.

Hi Minime,

Sounds like a great idea, part of the sudden government focus on Climate change, imagine that eh, a fully electric powered Liner without fuel pumps or anything environment damaging. Hehe.

Sounds like a good surprise aswell.

Keep us all informed won't you.

Kind Regards

I'll keep you informed, I have alreay started on the hull so maybe some pics are coming tomorrow. But on this ship we need no funnel for any smoke, so I don't know if I should make one. I think I'm gonna make a little wath out tower instead that looks like a funnel.

Hi here are the first updates
It's not near to be finish, so it may not look so good.
As for now, it has 6 azipods, but they are rather small so I'm gonna make new ones.(found them in the warehous)
It takes water in at the bulb at high speed, and the water goes trough some turbines, and makes energy.
It will also have some solar panels and other stuffs

it is a good start but how would you genorate the amounts of elctisity needed to power the ship

Minime · « **Reply #5 on:** June 16, 2008, 17:41:05 »

I believe those turbines would generate the most of the power needed. If we had somthing to store the energy in, like batteries, they would be fully loaded in port, and then when the ship would reach about 30kn the turbines would be enaugh to make energy with.

pauljanaway1 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 16, 2008, 17:44:00 »

30kn wow that is fast for a ship never mind a eletric one

Minime · « **Reply #7 on:** June 16, 2008, 18:00:19 »

Yeah with new tecnoligy everything can be done

Minime · « **Reply #8 on:** June 16, 2008, 18:10:41 »

This is the turbine system.

Minime · « **Reply #9 on:** June 17, 2008, 00:46:37 »

The hull is almost done now.
There will be 5 turbine tubes, so there should be enaugh of energy.

You dont have to buy it you can test it on the demo, but it has a 10 min gameplay time limit

Kona1988 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 18, 2008, 12:30:50 »

But in the demo you can launch the game as many times as yu wont and leave off exactly were you were. Kinda, odd, demo.

Choosing words carefully, got in trouble for saying the word meening the air comming out of your back end xD

pauljanaway1 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 18, 2008, 21:41:57 »

Minime · « **Reply #22 on:** June 18, 2008, 21:44:51 »

yeah, I thought so to, but now I'm going to take a little thinking break, because I don't know yet how the over building shall look like, maby a bi like poseidon, with balconies.

pauljanaway1 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 18, 2008, 21:50:06 »
