Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Minn Kota - Thrust-fuel cell
Fuel Cells (PEM) are a hot item right now. I own ballard and plug stck, and
they are doing well. there is a company called energy partners PLC, who have
a 20 KW (26HP) fuel cell package that they calculate will cost $2500.00 when
in production. Many fuel cell manufacturers are looking at the automotive
market (none for psub market), and say the price should be comparable to a
new IC engine. I understand that a few that are looking at the home market
are talking prices around $6,000 for a 35KW unit, to be marketed in 2001.
General Electric is lining up dealers now for the PLUG units. Maybe like a
used internal combustion engine, you will be able to buy a used fuel cell
cheap, hehehe! Give it a year or two, and you'll be able to buy them
inexpensively. I hear that if you combine the hydrogen or LP gase with moth
balls, you can get more power:+)
