    Boat powered by Hydrogen from Seawater?

    Thanks for all your input ... I have found that the storage of H2 in pressurised tanks is not too feasibel for the consumption I require and the case of the battery model has been clearly stated ... Hey! It was just a thought ...

    Boat powered by Hydrogen from Seawater?

    Maybe if I approach this from a different angle? I have a fast motor boat and live in the UK. Gasoline is £0.75+/litre. LPG is 35p/litre and rising. My TWO Chevy V8 305's drink about 54 litres/hour - do the math! I am using my 'imagination' to see whether there is a viable way of using hydrogen...

    Boat powered by Hydrogen from Seawater?

    I'm sorry ... I didn't make it very clear, I wasn't after driving continuously without any other form of energy. As I have seen comments regarding the energy in pressurising plus the safety aspect of having large qty of hydrogen on board a boat!! I focused my question without being very...

    Boat powered by Hydrogen from Seawater?

    Am I being naive to ask whether a boat [say 10m in length] could be powered by using hydrogen [as a result of seawater electrolysis] in an internal combustion engine as a direct feed thereby removing the need for mass storage [and losses involved in pressurising it]? Obviously, one would need to...
