ELECTRIC
PROPULSION OF MERCHANT SHIPS.
Unquestionably the idea of employ ing an electric drive between the main engine and propeller of a ship has made some advance in the last few years. Progress has been not. only in actual application, but also in the growth. of a more tolerant general attitude towards the idea. Much of the credit for this advance must be given to Mr. W. L. R. Emmet both in virtue of his advocacy of the method and also of his connection with
the successful applications which have been made in the cases of the US. collier Jupiter and the U.S. battleship New Mexico. At the November meetings of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in New York, Mr. Emmet read.a. further paper on. the subject, concerning himself with a consideration of electric propulsion from the point of view of the mer chant ship. A comparison was in- stituted. between a standard triple-. expansion engine drive and a turbo- electric equipment for a 8,800 dead- weight-ton ship, 424 ft. long and 54. ft. beam, and with a speed of 115 knots. The shaft hore-power was. taken as 2,500 and the propeller speed as 100 r.p.m. On such a ship- It was claimed that the electric drive would result in an increased cargo space of 12,000 cub. ft., or nearly 3- per cent. of the total capacity of the ship, and that the saving in weight cf. machinery and shafting. would amount to about 69" tons, With 200 lb. steam pressure, 200- deg. Fahr, superheat and a vacuum of 28-5 in., it was stated that the fuel consumption for all purposes would be 30 per cent, less in the electric ship than in a normal triple-expansion. ship. Even if the reciprocating set

equipment would still shew 20 per cent. economy. Mr. Enmet made ao direct comparison between "his
electric ship and a similar one equip ped with a turbine drive and reduc tion gearing, but dealing with the reliability of the electric drive com- pared the reliability of gearing un- favourably with it. He stated that there had been many failures with double reduction gears, and that there "seems to be no type of gearing with which trouble has not been experienced after long service in cargo vessela. Against this Mr. Emmet stated that "a study of the records and uses of such electrical apparatus as is applied in this case will show that the equip ment is less liable to interruption of service than any other form of single-screw equipment which is ap plied to vessels.” In view of known facts this appears to be hardly fair. According to the figures given by Mr. R. J. Walker in bis British As- sociation paper of last September. total, shaft horse-power of marine geared turbine installations is now about 11,000,000, That defects- have developed in some of the ~ahipa
which go to make up this total is very probable, but with this weight of practical ex- perience which on the whole "bas-, proved a great success, it can hardly be seriously contended that hypothetical electric drive bás on the face of it greater reliability. The electric ship has as yet been built on such a small scale that we would not like at present to compare its
