G-Quest Description: 14/02/2023
 

The Future in Research, Humanitarian Goals, and Luxury

Mission
The mission of G-Quest, a 215-meter yacht, allows its owner to oversee their philanthropic efforts while living in luxury at sea.  She is designed for both humanitarian and research objectives.
The upper three decks are designated for the owner and the owner’s guests. The remaining 80% of the yacht is dedicated to oceanographic research, medical research, green propulsion experimentation, and medical intervention. 
 

G-Quest is propelled by azimuth thrusters. The thrusters receive power from the batteries. The batteries are charged by gensets, the gensets are in turn fueled by hydrogen, methanol, biodiesel, and green fuels of the future. 
 

If chosen as a propulsion system, a thorium molten salt reactor heats up water and powers the steam turbine. The steam turbine is connected to a generator which charges the batteries and provides direct electrical power to the azimuth thrusters. 
 

In addition, the G-Quest will be experimenting with various new battery technologies.
