This sailboat has an equipment called: hydrogenerator.

My physics brain wants it to be hydrogen-ator (a thing which adds hydrogen to your stuff).

But no, it is a hydro-generator. (A thing which generates electricity from being dragged through the hydro.)

I wonder if these UUVs will turn into long range strike and smart sea mine type variants. Something that can sit quietly on the seabed for decades recharged by hydrogenerator turbines with comms via fiber optic back to a C&C node returning to a mothership for refurbishment every decade.

Double prop hydro generator

The French company has developed a twin propeller towed hydrogenerator that is adaptable to all sailboats

I received mounting brackets from Hydrovane to position the hydrogenerator vertically further aft and outboard. Solved!

Edindiğim iki yeni kolla bunu rüzgar dümeninin şaftına dik monte ettim, jeneratör şimdi daha geriye ve açığa alındı. Artık jeneratörün pervanesini dağıtmadan kullanabileceğim.

My Watt&Sea hydrogenerator was installed on the overhanging transom. The overhang introduced a pendulum motion as it turned with the flow of water past the vessel,

Hidrojeneratör kıç aynasında eksi eğimde kurulmuştu. Teknenin etrafından akan suyla dönüp aynı eğim nedeniyle sağa sola salınıyor,

3/4 ⚡ The climb to the Arctic Circle pushed the onboard systems to their limits. While dozing on the watch seat, Cousin faced a thermal fire: smoke at the chart table and glowing carbon. Diagnostic: critical hydrogenerator short-circuit, managed hove-to.

Big stress for Jingkun Xu yesterday with a failure in his electrical system. The skipper spent the night installing a new hydrogenerator and, good news, he has regained electricity! #VG2024 #VendeeGlobe
