T&T: How about Hydrogen Fuel Generators for Boats?

[Bob]

How about Hydrogen Fuel Cell Generators for suppying electrical power for
boats?  Has anyone had any experience with using Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power for
their boats?  I subscribe to a free fuel cell newsletter on fuel cells.  If
you want to subscribe to it you can contact:  Jennifer at fuelcells.org.  and ask
for their free email subscription.

I've seen a lot about generators, batteries, charging, etc., but nothing about
these new silent, pollution free hydrogen fuel cell generators.  Some
companies are producing portable systems.  Here's one made in Germany for
motor homes and boats (check their website listed below for boat applications
( the following is from the newsletter):

Smart's EFOY Fuel Cell Now Offered on Dethleffs Motor Homes.

Dethleffs Corporation will be offering SFC Smart Fuel Cell's EFOY fuel cells
as an option on all their motor homes beginning with the new model season.
The EFOY comes in three models with a charging capacity of 600 Wh, 1200 Wh and
1600 Wh per day. The fuel cartridges can be bought at over 500 sales points in
Europe - one EFOY M10 cartridge can supply a motor home with independent power
for up to four weeks.

The above is from the newsletter.  I'm seriously considering Hydrogen Fuel
Cell power for a liveaboard 56' Bertram.  Would like to hear ideas and any
experience on this type of power from the list.  Any comments?
