I just had an inspiration. Lets say that we have a big plastic umbrella
floating above the hulls in order to catch the bubbles that will be coming
off. One umbrella will be catching hydrogen, the other oxygen. Of course,
we can pipe these gasses to a fuel cell to get electricity. But what if we
could use these umbrellas as the fuel cell. If there is a little bit of
hydrogen
in the oxygen umbrella, the gasses will react in the umbrella. If there was
a way to tap that energy...how do fuel cells work, exactly?
