PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF CLEAN SCIENCE - The solar and wind powered 'Elizabeth Swann' will feature solar collectors and wind energy harvesting apparatus in an advanced configuration. She is seen here sporting a single VAWT electricity generator. The hull design is ideal for mass hydrogen storage, that when coupled with a suitable fuel cell, makes her the largest floating hydrogen battery in the world. It is possible that this vessel could travel Around the World in 80 Days using hydrogen in combination, so making two of Jules Verne's prediction come true - at the same time.

In 1874 Jules Verne predicted that water, as it's constituents, hydrogen and oxygen, would provide mankind with energy far exceeding the then power source: coal.

How right he was!
