ZeroJet from New Zealand presents the second generation of its electric jet drive. The plug & play solution is aimed at tenders with a 48-volt on-board power supply. The 15-kilowatt electric motor is optimised for the comparatively low speeds of water jet drives. Once again, ZeroJet developed the pump that draws in the water specifically for high torque.
ZeroJet ensures minimised maintenance effort
A closed cooling circuit counteracts the high operating temperatures at continuous output, while a simple drivetrain without gears minimises maintenance requirements. Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries from third-party suppliers are stored in watertight housings developed in-house and are monitored by the company's own battery management system. The divisible five-kilowatt-hour battery pack weighs around 50 kilograms, while the ten-kilowatt-hour pack weighs around 100 kilograms.
