Electric Boat Motor Designed for Princeton Crew Team

Inspired by the auto industry’s desire to reduce fossil fuel emissions through fleet electrification, a team of students in Princeton’s Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department has created a long-range electric boat motor in an effort to promote a similar electric revolution in the marine industry. With support from the
High Meadows Foundation Sustainability Fund
, the team of engineers is applying their research to make the operation of the University crew teams' launch boats more sustainable as part of a
Campus as Lab
