JustJames Posted 15April, 2014 Report Share Posted 15April, 2014 it's not april 1st is it? seems unbelievable. That's what I thought at first. But the article is full of "it is predicted that" and "may allow" type weasel words. There's also the little detail of using lots of energy to extract CO2 and H2 from sea water, so this is a little different to the Brown's gas baloney that erupts from time to time...like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion03 Posted 15April, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 15April, 2014 Its for navy aircraft carriers with nuclear reactors. No shortage of electrical Power for them. And they are talking $3 a gallon of av gas in the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 16April, 2014 Report Share Posted 16April, 2014 good article - but since when have aircraft carriers returned to land to refuel? that's what they have oilers for! be a massive operational advantage if they could make their own avgas (so they never run out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
