Product catalog summary
Basic Configuration
The Green Motion system includes the Motogen* underwater motor/generation unit available in 10-30 kW, shielded cable sets to avoid electrical and magnetic fields, a 4-channel controller essential for optimal power generation, a lightweight control handle, and an LCD screen for monitoring charge, discharge, motor RPM, temperature, and time-to-empty.
Optional Components
Optional additions to the basic configuration include a retractable mechanism, lithium-ion phosphate batteries, solar panels, a wind generator, and a generator.
Lithium-Ion Batteries Advantages
Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries offer up to 70% weight savings, a lifespan of up to 10 years or 2000 cycles, 70% volume reduction, high charge acceptance and efficiency, safety with no fumes or top-ups, up to 80% discharge capability, and maintenance-free operation.
Generators
Lightweight, high-efficiency DC generators are available for emergency backup or long periods without wind, with capacities of 9, 16, 22, and 28 kW.
Retractable Motogen*
The electric retractable Motogen* is designed for yachts from 30 to 90 ft, offering a lightweight and efficient propulsion system that can be installed inside the hull or on a retractable arm. It is CO2 neutral, produces no smoke, noise, soot, or vibration, and is maintenance-free. The system can generate excess energy for other uses.
Performance Data
The system's performance varies with speed, with detailed data on speed in knots, amps consumed, range in nautical miles, and time to empty provided for various speeds.
Development and Advantages
The Green Motion system addresses the contradiction in current electrical propulsion systems by offering a retractable propulsion/generation system that eliminates fossil fuel use, generates sufficient energy for onboard needs, and increases yacht speed by reducing drag when Motogens* are lifted.

GREEN MOTION fossil free retractable propulsion and generation for yachts-1

Lithium Ion batteries (LiFePO4) advantages compared with lead acid. Basic configuration of the Green Motion system includes: Underwater motor/generation unit. Available: 10-30 kW. • Cable set • Weight savings (up to 70%) • Long life (up to 10 years/2000 cycles) • Compact (-70% volume) • High acceptance charge • High charge efficiency • Safe, no fumes or top ups • Up to 80% discharge possible • Maintenance free • Motogen* Shielded cables to avoid electrical and magnetic fields. • Controller 4-channel controller needed to make power generation possible. This component is essential to have an optimal and efficient use of the Motogen*. • Control handle Light weight single or twin control handle. • LCD-screen Read-out of functional charge and discharge, motor rpm, motor and controller temperature and time-to-empty. Optional to basic configuration Generators • Retractable mechanism • Lithium ion phosphate batteries • Solar panels • Wind generator • Generator We developed a series of light weight high efficient DC generators to be used in case of emergency back up or for long periods without wind (doldrums). Capacity available: 9, 16, 22 and 28 kW. * Motogen: electric underwater motor that functions as generator when sailing and can be retracted when batteries are fully charged. Electrical energy is generated with the system and stored in lithium ion batteries. Fossil free retractable propulsion and generation system for yachts © Marc-Antony Taminiau African Cats B.V.

GREEN MOTION fossil free retractable propulsion and generation for yachts-2

Production range We produce 3 different Motogens* that range in power from 10 to 30 kW (25 to 100 HP). This will cover yachts from 30 up to 90 feet (9 to 28 meters). All new built sailing yachts in this range can benefit from fossil free propulsion. It is possible to install this new green type of propulsion on existing yachts. CO2 neutral This propulsion system is CO2 neutral or even better, it can generate excess energy that can be used by others if and when needed. Free of smoke, noise, soot and vibration It produces no smoke, soot, noise or vibration and is maintenance free. The energy production...
