Charter Upon completion of our project, we will have designed, tested, and built a biodiesel charging system that powers two electric motors operating in parallel with the existing gasoline outboard. Ideally the new propulsion system will be retrofit onto the existing bike ferry, or a prototype of similar design.

Biodiesel Inboard/Outboard Main Idea: Convert Mercedes diesel engine to directly power an inboard/outboard boat motor.

A electric/diesel hybrid was considered before that idea, but seemed too time consuming a project and too expensive.

Incorporating a marine diesel generator would have simplified the design, but was too expensive. Incorporating a marine diesel generator would have simplified the design, but was too expensive.

Return of the Hybrid!!! Professor Rosen approached the team to emphasize the problem as a proof of concept as opposed to an optimization.

Including the electrical components would allow for the future implementation of alternative energy technology, even though these sources are still in their infancy.
