The US Navy announced they have made a breakthrough in converting seawater into fuel.
Their intentions to do so were reported more than a year ago, and in that time they believe they've found a solution.
By using a proprietary process that extracts carbon dioxide and hydrogen from seawater and then recombines them into a liquid, the scientists on the project have created a fuel-making method that could someday be performed on ships.
Freeing naval vessels from their dependency on oil is important for a couple of reason.
One is availability. Said one officer, "We need to challenge the results of the assumptions that are the result of the last six decades of constant access to cheap, unlimited amounts of fuel."
Interruptions in supply can lead to missions being compromised.
Some problems with relying on the gas fuel is that it is subject to price fluctuations and takes up a lot of room. So much so that filled tankers need to accompany ships on their journeys.
This results in lost time and can be problematic when trying to refuel in harsh weather.
It's estimated that ships will be able to make their own fuel from seawater in about a decade.
美国海军宣布，他们已经在海水转化成燃料取得了突破性进展。
美国海军宣布，他们已经在海水转化成燃料取得了突破性进展。
他们的意图这样做的报道一年多以前，在那个时候，他们相信他们已经找到了解决办法。
通过使用一种专有工艺，提取二氧化碳和氢气从海水中，然后重新组合成液体，该项目的科学家们已经创造了可能有一天会在船上进行燃料制作方法。
从他们对石油的依赖释放舰艇是重要的一对夫妇的原因。
一个是可用性。说一名官员说：“我们需要挑战的是过去六十年中不断获得廉价的，大量的燃料无限制的结果假设的结果。 ”
在供应中断可能会导致受到损害的任务。
一些问题，依靠气体燃料是，它是受价格波动的影响，并占用了大量的空间。正因如此，充满油轮需要陪船舶在他们的旅途。
这将导致失去的时间，并试图在恶劣的天气去加油时可能会出现问题。
据估计，船舶将能够使自己的燃料从海水中大约十年。
