A foil is a wing-like appendage under the hull of a ship. As the ship increases speed, the foil lifts the hull out of the water, dramatically reducing the wetted area, resulting in an order of magnitude reduction in drag. Over the past two years, Artemis Technologies has been developing a commercial application for this technology, called the Artemis eFoiler™.
​
The Artemis eFoiler™ is based on the integration of an ultra-high density electric motor generator unit into an autonomously controlled carbon fiber hydrofoil. With minimal increase in wetted area and drag, it provides the first viable solution for the early adoption of zero-emission high-speed maritime transport.
​
This truly transformative and complex technology will reduce the drag of a conventional fast ferry or a traditional passive “V” hydrofoil by up to 90%, making unique, high-speed, long-range electric propulsion commercially viable.
