Thinking Outside of the Box.
History is full of techniques that utilise the latest technology and puts this into every day use but sometimes something so awe inspiring seems to have been missed.
Although there has always been a draw back in having to steer in relation of the direction of the wind, for hundreds of years man has used the power of the wind to fill the sails of all kinds of vessels. Modern vessels use fossil fuels and a large amount of the capacity of the vessel is set aside for carrying that fuel. What if the two features could be altered in one stroke and become a financial advantage?
My possible innovation could be that the sails are altered into wind turbines that stand vertical and automatically adjust the angle of the blades according to the speed it revolves at. The energy produced is converted into electric power that can be stored for when there is no wind and the electricity is used to split sea water into hydrogen gas and burned in a conventional piston engine or jet type electric generator for more electricity as an electric motor is used to drive the propellers.
In my suggestion every direction of the wind is right for the wind turbines so the vessel can move directly against the direction of the wind. The whole sea is the liquid fuel. One of the benefits of the system is using renewable energy and that the waste products are turned into water.
I did think about approaching Dragon's Den but at the moment all I have is an idea and that is not enough to qualify for an investment. It needs a company who has the vision for a green future, someone who would like to put action to this plan. Dragons do your stuff and breathe life into this idea if you dare... If taken further a working vessel would indicate that this wind based solution to an energy age old problem would be trade viable and would have extremely high future market potential. A good profit return is another requirement in any sustainable plan and this environmentally friendly energy idea would be able to meet that demand and have a life saving benefit. Positive influences in this plan for nature, impact on society and future lives would be huge and so I find myself saying that this is a Call Out to a Dragon, an investor who may feel that there is a potential benefit to this thinking outside of the box green form of energy?
Unknown to me until just before I published this blog is that there is in fact already a ship launched in 1967 by Germany called the Hydrogen Challenger. The interesting point is the vessel is being used to produce, store and ship hydrogen gas to the mainland. I think the case for wind and hydrogen powered vessels has been proved to be viable. It is just amazing when everybody is talking about renewable energy, this innovation seems to be being ignored.
