Design, Construction And Operational Plans Of An Electric Paddle Wheel For A Laminated Bamboo Slats River Cruise Boat

River cruise tourism in Indonesia has a moderately high potential as there are so many rivers that offer beautiful natural and urban views. However, majority of river cruiser boats still use outboard engines, both two-stroke four-stroke combustion engines. The working system the engine is to carry out process fuel oil. This usually loud sound, leading noise pollutants can harm environment make passengers uncomfortable. Burning fossil fuels also causes residual compounds increases environmental pollution, especially carbon emissions. In this paper, an analysis will be carried on operational costs ship with electric paddle wheel propulsion. With boat design LOA size 5.4 m, breadth 1.4 height 0.8 draft 0.3 CB 0.68, diameter 70 cm, blade width 30cm, 6 blades. motor used drive power 672.69 watts, battery capacity 100 Ah. According planning, benefits obtained, including zero emissions, no up 90% greater when compared out-board drive.
