"December 7 - This summer, Alstom announced the creation of the first fully hydrogen-fueled passenger train route in Bremervorde, Lower Saxony, Germany with 14, two-car Coradia iLint vehicles equipped with fuel cell propulsion. They will replace 15 diesel-powered trains currently running on the line.The trains, which have a hydrogen tank with a range of 1,000 kilometers and a maximum speed of 140 km/h, will be fueled daily at a Linde hydrogen filling station."
Waiting for Austral shipping to start a quiet ship race. I know for a fact ships make a lot of noise. It was very easy to hear a ship well before anyone could see it. Noise travels very well in water.
Looking at new billion$ US bombers and stealth concept is NOT exclusive to planes. The Ukrainian drone boats used very effectively recently had me thinking of DRO air detection. It is not at all difficult to hear ships, boats or most submarines with SONAR. Towed passive sonar, Sonar boys dropped from planes/helicopters or fix bottom or floating detection units.
Noise makes it easy at sea if you have the right equipment or even have your head underwater like I like to do. It is very clear from my quirky EV car the massive noise reduction has me carefully moving past pedestrians who often do not hear it. Jump in my tow tug/4wd and that's not an issue. Its noisy
A silent or near silent ship, boat or sea drone would be very possible FCEV has much better capacity than a few tonnes of batteries
Always thought the Rotto express should be the first FCEV trip I would like try of course
Have a great weekend all
