    H2 from seawater

    yeah, I read those posts but am still not clear on it. Does the statement: " If you want hydrogen and oxygen, you'll need a different electrolyte." mean that in order to split seawater for hydrogen, the salt in ocean water must be removed, and a different electrolyte must be added? An...

    H2 from seawater

    I have a question for people: Does anyone know specifics about splitting sea water? Does it really need to be purified first in a seperate step? Does anyone know specifics about what needs to be done or any references I can find? I NEED to design a system to store electric energy by...

    Boat powered by Hydrogen from Seawater?

    I just think it is extremely unelegant design... My intuition says there is no chance that boat can ever compete with a regular sailboat, either in seaworthiness, speed, safety... (i mean, my god, can you imagine trying to walk around on the deck of that boat in serious wind conditions?)...

    Boat powered by Hydrogen from Seawater?

    re: http://foxxaero.homestead.com/files/t36w01.jpg HAH HAH!! oh man.. that has to be a joke... is that photoshop? "drop the anchor!! oops.. he dropped his head" please tell me that's a joke... oh my god, it's not a joke... I'm saving that picture...

    Boat powered by Hydrogen from Seawater?

    Can wind power be harnessed on a boat? Ever heard of a sail boat? :) Ok, just joking, but seriously...there are probably thousands of small wind turbines in use on boats. For example, the AirX is a 400 watt (peak) model that is relatively quiet and well designed...

    Boat powered by Hydrogen from Seawater?

    FYI: Iceland is converting their entire infrastructure to hydrogen, first their buses, then passenger vehicles, then FISHING FLEET. This is an internationally funded project, with money coming from the EU in order to advance the technology and bring hydrogen to the masses. They are using...

    H2 from seawater

    Oh yeah, almost forgot. Flow Batteries. Like a reversible fuel cell but use a oxidation reduction process with Vanadium or other fluids.. actually have a lot of potential for the future. Sometimes called Vanadium Redox batteries. Very cool.

    H2 from seawater

    Hi there. I just wanted to jump in and mention that even though I am very excited about energy storage systems, a tidal energy generator doesn't neccesarily need to store the energy at off peak times does it? And if it does, the storage location doesn't have to be the same as where the...
