If the MIG 675 lives up to it\'s hype of being able to run on hydrogen derived from the surrounding water source, that is fantastic !!!
Costing a mere EUR250,000 (US$329,727), I can imagine that they have worked out all those nasty little electro-chemical conversion \'hurtles\' of liberating hydrogen from water.
I just hope there are a sufficient bank of batteries to provide electrolysis \'juice\' to safely get them back to port.

... If they were using batteries to power \"electrolysis\" it would be 100x more efficient to just use the current with a brushless motor rather than losing energy making Hydrogen only to lose energy burning it... I would bet the farm its a 500hp gas engine with \"hydrogen fuel additive\" created from the water its sitting in. If they had Seawater to fuel generator they would have no need to build boats, they would the richest people on earth.

In the engineering world there\'s a saying that energy is not created not destroyed... If they\'re claiming it produces hydrogen without extra input, that\'s nothing more than BS \'cause they need energy to break down the hydrogen from water probably using electrolysis. Nothing can run indefinitely... \'cause we got entropy chaising our tails...

I too, wonder about the hydrogen issues. If they have to carry big batteries with them to power the electrolysis, then what\'s the point of the fuel cell if they could just run purely electric, BombR76? It would be smarter to just carry some amount of hydrogen with them to power the fuel cell for electricity. Without any real details, I don\'t see a point in posting this yet. Same goes for that D-dalus thing, it\'s been months since that article was published without a followup with details and/or a video. I still wonder how the heck that thing works. It\'s killing me.

We\'re about 3 1/2 months too early for April 1.

Apart from the comments regarding the hydrogen production which is absolutely impossible from the scientific point of view but I can\'t see any room for a SHOWER and A TOILET!!!

Thats a Fox headline if I ever saw one. It\'s not gonna trick a bunch of engineers

Fox headline agreed. I doubt there is sufficient \"free\" H2 in seawater to run a flashlight, let alone a 500 hp ICE.

The hydrogen could be produced from solar cells and stored. Would take ages to fill a reasonable sized tank though. Alternatively it could be produced by reacting zinc or something similar with the sea water.
To get a good range and the ability to refuel easily and quickly and cheaply would be a challenge. I am looking forward to hearing how it is done.

I read Not ONE Positive comment! Are ALL of \'those posting\' Devoid of Dreams? Have You been Taught: \'Not To Dream!\'? Have You been Taught: \'Not Possible!\'?
