Project Profiles

Templar Electric Boats from Kelowna BC had installed and tested several, off the shelf (and very expensive), marine drive systems. The performance and reliability were not adequate for the vessel. EAS Power was contracted to help solve this problem. After exploring available options the decision was made to build a custom solution. The Axial Flux motor from Slovenia was chosen. The major advantage of using the Axial Flux motor is that it is extremely powerful for its size and weight. Emrax motors are also used in small aircraft & race cars and are designed to directly drive a propeller. This simple layout means less moving parts and no transmission or reduction to service or break. The system was completed and tested by EAS Power and then installed in the Templar cruiser. The system is amazingly efficient, powerful and smooth with the matched high thrust propeller.
