and then there is the 
hydrogen generation or storage problem to be solved. 
  
  
 Couple or three years ago, I read an article about a fuel cell powered Duffy  
 launch with an experimental system that produced hydrogen from seawater as  
 needed, through some kind of chemical process. I wonder what became of that?  
  
  
 
Ran out of fuel?  Seriously, if a chemical has to be carried onboard and  
is transformed thru some process (perhaps even using seawater) to  
produce the hydrogen to be consumed in the fuel cell, then what is that  
chemical, other than a fuel?  Some examples of such a fuel come to mind:  
  sodium, potassium, calcium. 
 
As with anything associated with the "hydrogen economy", spend some time  
researching how these substances are produced.
