    Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines

    Hi, I said hydro? If I did I misspoke.

    Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines

    So… It’s been quiet here for a while and it’s become hard to ignore the facts and realities displayed in simple terms out in public view. The lot of feisty old naysayers have gone off to better places so NOW are we all enthusiastically accepting Green Hydrogen Power as the immediate answer to...

    Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines

    I’m can’t following your thought process. CO2 is not something I mentioned and I don’t know why you bring it up. I’m talking about H2O.., Water. There is no carbon in H2O. Hydrocarbon is a totally different molecule made up of carbon and hydrogen… Organic. Hydrogen, H2 is the most abundant...

    Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines

    My little boat has two diesels pushing it through the water… The hydrogen buses running around my city only have 1 diesel designed motor converted to be powered by hydrogen. All we are waiting for is technology to advance. Separating the O from the H2O cheaply is right around the corner. Not...

    50a to 30a adapter or straight 30a

    Electrical mods performed by a backyard hack. A shipshape 30A boat cannot draw more than 30A…. Breakers break the current at 31A if the boat is shipshape.

    50a to 30a adapter or straight 30a

    You are making a mountain out of a molehill… Think of it as a spoon & ladle. Like a breaker, your mouth size will not allow you to eat your soup with a ladle no matter how hungry you are. If you are popping breakers it’s because you’re trying to use too much power or you are shorting out...

    Tim Allen and the shower sump

    That is “homemade” sump. It could be anything. Assuming it was marine grade original setup that was correctly designed and installed… That is an insanely huge shower sump pump… And unnecessary. If you fill the shower sump with the top off so you can see it operate you’d see that the switch is...

    Guest drinking underway - what's your rule?

    Get Real… 99% of “us” are living out the crumbs left of “our” lives… As far as safety is concerned your age is a much larger liability in your abilities to react to emergencies than someone physically and mentally capable but drunk as a skunk. The older and more feeble you get the more self...

    Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines

    Good to hear someone else has their eyes on the future. Older folks have difficulty accepting there are scientific advancements happening all the time on everything. Advancements in the science of stripping the O out of H2O is critical and will surely be the global game changer soon. It’s a...

    On the hook? West Coast USA

    I suggest you join a yocals local yacht club as social members. Full members are always hard up for crew/friends. Having friends with boats is so much better than owning one out of the gate. You’ll be able to get on a lot of different types of boats and learn by being yelled at by your new best...

    Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines

    I love batteries… But batteries today are really converted burnt fossil fuel energy. And the cobalt used in batteries is mostly coming from the Democratic Republic of the Congo using slave and child labor. The big banana will be using hydrogen to power all the power plants now burning fossil...

    Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines

    Well I’m not going to call you a liar. I’m sure every species of fish has been caught off the beach at some time in world history. I only troll for tuna and mahi-mahi using live or pre-hooked frozen bait and a little lead. I use store-made lures when I have a set destination/deadline and can’t...
