Reduce the impact of marine transport and boating leisure on local environment by reducing wave formation >50%, lowering noise emission 100x and improve efficiency >50% with which we reduce Diesel Particulate emmision (100% reduction); NOX/SOx emission 60% and eliminate CO2 emission down to 0%. Furthermore fast charging capability eliminates long charge times and substatially reduces infra structural requirements.
Unique low wave hull (patent being initiated)
Using an alternative to Li-battery technology substantially reduces size and minimizes/eliminates use of rare earth metals while giving better power performance.
Hydrogen propulsion provides long ranges.
Propulsion system can be used as upgrade for existing diesel powered boats.
H2-ICE is operated as a generator running at its optimum rpm substantially enhancing efficiency with zero CO2 emission
