NATIONAL PATENT N. 0001397554 – INTERNATIONAL PATENT PCTIB2010055929
Horus is a revolutionary electrical propulsion system for boats that reduces harmful, environmentally unfriendly emissions to zero. This system is applicable to all sectors of marine traversal including lakes and rivers and is based on the knowledge that thereare no alternatives to the use of fossil fuels for marine propulsion.
The Horus system characterized by the renewable energy produced by next-generation solar panels and high-performance batteries.
This system has found its first application of study and development on a 24mt mono hull that wasdesigned by the experts hands of BiNav technicians. A design incorporating aggressive lines as well as futuristic, high performance angles has resulted in a travel time of 8 to 10 hours at a cruising speed of about 10 knots with ZERO
emissions of harmful gases into the atmosphere, ZERO noise, ZERO vibration, ZERO consumption and recharge while you sail – hence the patent peculiarity.
The system was designed to be installed in new and existing vessels, including larger cargo ships in order to provide them with a more efficient and environmentally friendly means of propulsion.
This system will revolutionize the concept of sailing, offering enormous practical advantages and financial savings.
MY HORUS24 ELECTRIC (LOA 24 meters) comes from one idea and the desire to build one boat
‘Environmental friendly’ or ‘friend of nature’. This is one hull and superstructure to aluminum alloy, which
with its length threshold of 24 meters offered to all owners of a boating license the ability to sail without
contaminating even within the marine reserves now inaccessible to vehicles fueled with hydrocarbons, in
absolute silence, similar to sailing and respecting the environment around us. The electric propulsion is
based on the use of photovoltaic panels as the main source for generating the energy needed. Panels
consist of a special plastic material that can also be painted and still can guarantee efficiency more than
double compared to other flexible panels, not counting the unbreakable, flexible, lightweight, waterproof
and especially the possibility of being recycled, but in fact, eternal, subject to aging only in the natural
course of new technologies in this field. All this is supported by a storage facility of electricity consists of
lithium-ion or lithium polymer of last generation that can increase the efficiency of the generation of
electricity. Rechargeable batteries so easily from both photovoltaic panels and from the ski track network in
all harbors, guaranteed for ten years by producers and easily disposed of after more than a decade because
guaranteed for 5000 cycles, and because each module does not weigh more than 20 kg and suppliers will
have the right to offer the end user, when purchasing a program for disposal and replacement.
Horus in MY HORUS24 ELECTRIC (LOA 24 meters) (Fig.1) and FERRY HORUS 24 ELECTRIC 60/120 PAX with
a load of energy equal to 448 kW total (capacity limit of the batteries) can travel 70 miles by sailing to 8 / 10
hours at about 10 knots and with no daily costs expect the current cost of energy purchased by industrial
network is from 7 to 9 cents/Euro each KW, against the traditional fossil fuel-powered yacht of comparable
size, without considering the benefits stemming from ZERO harmful gases into the atmosphere.

each marine reserves, in a scenic ride through the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre (Reserved Area) in
total silence at moderate speed (12/13 knots) to enjoy the environment around us and safeguard it means
to have a real advantage and invest in the future.
