Power Generation

Convert the ocean wind power into storable energy by means of the “energy ship” concept. Use sailing ships equipped with hydrokinetic turbines and electrolysers to split the sea water into hydrogen and oxygen. This energy ship concept has already attracted considerable attention. For example, Max Platzer was interviewed about it by the BBC World Service in their program “The Forum” on 9 September 2015. You can listen to this interview by clicking on the link below. Skip the first 32 minutes and start listening at 32:15 minutes into the program. The basic principle of the energy ship concept is explained in the figure shown below.
