Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The storage handling and safety issues of each of these fuels is very different.

You make a calim about how this is suitable for yachts, there needs to be a universal relatively safe fuel that can be obtained at any dock worldlwide for this idea to really be a runner.

The Calorific values of the fuels you mention vary so much that to say 1 to 1.5 lt an hour would do is simply ludicrous.


This is a good forum with many people with far more education than me, as a well qualified and experienced Marine professional I simply find some of your claims just unworkable mathematically. Maths is the only truly universal language so there can be nothing lost in translation.

I know that Carl removed my first post ( he is welcome to do the same to this if he feels the same way)on this subject where you felt I was being too hard and or critical of your claims, based upon what you posted to that point I was only questioning what you had posted which was pretty far fetched in anyone's book.

TFrom what I understand the rest of what you have posted is not referring to your personal work simply the work of the guys in Aix en Provence.
