This groundbreaking book aims to show that technology currently exists to build and operate large autonomous sailing ships equipped with hydrokinetic turbines and electrolysers that could operate in high-wind ocean areas. This technology would enable seawater to be converted into storable hydrogen, thereby tapping into an inexhaustible energy reservoir sufficient for the transition to an emission-free global economy. The book is presented in two parts. Part one presents a broad look at possible solutions to the climate change challenge and provides an overview of current approaches. Part two…mehr

This groundbreaking book aims to show that technology currently exists to build and operate large autonomous sailing ships equipped with hydrokinetic turbines and electrolysers that could operate in high-wind ocean areas. This technology would enable seawater to be converted into storable hydrogen, thereby tapping into an inexhaustible energy reservoir sufficient for the transition to an emission-free global economy. The book is presented in two parts. Part one presents a broad look at possible solutions to the climate change challenge and provides an overview of current approaches. Part two introduces 12 specific technologies that could enable the green energy ship concept.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Max F. Platzer is an Adjunct Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the University of California Davis. He holds Diploma Engineer and Doctor of Technical Sciences degrees from the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. He was a member of Wernher von Braun's SATURN rocket development team for six years, chief of the Aeromechanics Research Section at the Lockheed-Georgia Research Center for four years and a Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, for thirty-four years. Dr. Platzer received the distinguished professor medal of the Naval Postgraduate School. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Currently, he is editor of the international review journal "Progress in Aerospace Sciences". Dr. Nesrin Sarigul-Klijn is a Full Professor of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and the Founding Director of theSpace Engineering Research and Graduate Program at the University of California Davis. She received her Ph.D. degree from the University of Arizona. In addition to her engineering academic degrees, she is an instrument rated commercial pilot and an active participant of FAA wings. Her publications record of over 200 refereed technical works also include 5 patents and 2 books. She serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Progress in Aerospace Sciences. She is an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers.  Her cross-disciplinary research expertise are in fluid-structure interactions, acoustics and noise control, vibrations, dynamic separation of air launched vehicles, and autonomous systems.¿
Rezensionen
"Completion of the research trajectories outlined above could harness the effectively limitless energy of the ocean waves, which currently beat uselessly on the shorelines of the world, and could also mitigate climate change effects. An equally strong claim can be made for the research into autonomous sailboats moving turbines ... making the hydrogen economy an economic reality. ... the US National Research Foundation has invited its proponents to submit a proposal ... to seed funding of more than US$1 million." (William Kingston, Prometheus, Vol. 38 (2), 2022)
