Quantum Power Systems

A Revolutionary Breakthrough

After almost five years in development and eight months of rigorous testing, the new F45 is ready to dramatically reduce the world of stabilizer power consumption.  The first patent pending system was installed in March 2024, on a 47m Feadship refit.

The Advantages:

• Reduces power consumption- up to 60% – 80%

The power unit has been simplified where it only uses the amount of power as needed, when needed, versus a traditional system that must remain running at 40% capacity, even at idle.  In fact, the overall cost to run the system is reduced by 60% at zero speed and 80% energy reduction in underway mode.

• M.E.S.S. – Mass Energy Storage System

M.E.S.S. uses flywheel technology for the following reasons:

• managing the large spikes incurred in a stabilizer operation profile
• its compact size
• robust capabilities
• long-term service life

It is capable of managing the main power and reducing the peaks.

• Zero Speed™

In Zero Speed™ Mode, at full capacity, the power will fluctuate twice between 1kW and the maximum power during one complete roll period (port-starboard-port). When M.E.S.S. is active, it will buffer the energy to mitigate these extreme fluctuations to stay within 15% – 20%.

• Underway

In Underway Mode, the energy recovery rate is 80%, captured while the fin is traveling back towards neutral position.  When activated, M.E.S.S. will store and buffer the energy maintaining a variant of 5kW to 7kW. This represents a tremendous power savings that will be realized in extending the life of the system and dollars spent.

Note: The % of energy savings remains consistent, regardless of the size over 50m+.

• 4X quieter than any other traditional hydraulic system to date

Independent, 3^rd party testing was conducted by J&A Enterprises to test for audible noise radiating from the unit and structure borne vibration noise transmitted through the isolation mounts.  The results were impressive, with sound readings at 63dB’s, four times quieter than a traditional hydraulic system to date.

• Longer Periods of Running Without Required Maintenance

This is important for military operations, charter vessels and an owner that prefers more water time versus spending money in a shipyard.

• Smaller Footprint

The installation space required is typically smaller than a traditional stabilizer system, allowing more space for things like water toys, a beach club or better yet… a wine cellar!

• F45 New Controls Offer Greater Precision

The new 5000S control system collects more data and delivers more precise movements to the stabilizers, leading to an even better overall experience.

The F45 meets both long-term energy efficiency requirements as well as the peak energy needs of the closed marine electrical system.
