TEAM

We are a group of open-minded students who seek high-tech solutions in marine transportation, rooting for eco-friendly design. We all work in harmony and learn from each other. This team uses great imagination and design skills to innovate, learn and build the future of marine transportation. Our main goals this year are drastically improving the propulsion of our boat, together with developing solutions new to the market. These solutions regard mainly the cooling system and materials used in the production of the boat, which aim to lower its carbon footprint to a large degree without compromising performance.

Project

Our project will maintain a similar aesthetic to last year’s design. With performance improvement in almost all sectors of the boat, we aim to maintain a light and sleek design more focused on sustainability. The outboard motor will provide the maximum 25kW and batteries will increase capacity and thermic response. All the chassis will be renewed to be able to withstand the higher loads given. The battery will use a cooling system very new to the market. With applications to the competition needs, we believe it can revolutionise the thermal efficiency in the races and greatly improve boat safety. Neus 2.0 will surely be a tough contestant, considering advanced hydrodynamic analysis for weight positioning and propeller design. Together with a proficient electronic communication system, we are ready to thrust to the top spots of MEBC!
