They have developed a catalyst which will allow water to be broken
apart into hydrogen and oxygen using solar energy. * The hydrogen and
oxygen can be recombined in a fuel cell to produce electricity (proven
technology), stored for later consumption (potentially solving the
night time and cloudy day problem), or the hydrogen can be burned
immediately as fuel for a combustion engine.

They have an all star technology team and significant venture capital
funding. * Let's hope they can get it to market in a reasonable time
and price.


sounds great to me, Wayne. will the technology allow for adaptation to
marine 6-71's?


Doubtful, very doubtful.

Those things are built like the proverbial brick sh*t house but
hydrogen is going to take some special engineering not yet available
in 1939. :-)
