Whisperprop Hybrid Drive Systems
Hybrid by Fischer Panda
Fischer Panda has succeeded in bringing the advantages and possibilities of the diesel electric drive from large ships to smaller commercial and recreational vessels. In a Whisperprop drive system, a highly efficient diesel eMotion generator produces the energy for one or more drives, air conditioning systems, additional power consumers on board and for charging the batteries.
The Whisperprop drives are constructed with modern and dynamic permanent-magnet motors. These provide higher thrust and substantially increase the manoeuvrability capabilities.
Fischer Panda‘s Hybrid Systems allow both the motor to be running and the batteries to be charged while sailing*. The systems are available, depending on performance required, with a voltage of 48V, 96V or 240V.
The electric motor is connected to the drive shaft and also a diesel engine. The pressure bearing is integrated in the electric motor. The generator can be placed anywhere in the ship.

This drive system is the first step towards cruising comfortably in the future and taking the environment into consideration
The HybridDriveSystem is designed as an environmentally conscious system while providing a high degree of comfort. (available end 2011)
The advantages of two generators on board multi-hull vessels allow optimal weight distribution and fuel savings when cruising at lower speeds.
