Windhunter is a project for hydrogen mass production based on electrolysis of the sea water. It consists of a platform that sustains some wind mills. They produce electricity following that electricity produces hydrogen and oxygen through the well-known electrolysis process. The wind turbines have a power of 2 MegaWatt. From the experiments presented in the “hydrogen power” category on cars-and-trees.com, it is required only a small amount of current (abt 10Amps) to make enough hydrogen to run a car. Imagine the possibilities of 2MW power in continuous run. Anyway, some calculations have to be made, but it’s obvious it can generate in time great quantities of energy. For free.
The platform can be put in the sea or oceans and doesn’t interfere with any human eyesight (except maybe ships travelling across the sea).
The bad part is that its construction is not cheap at all.

Electrolysis of seawater produces hydrogen, for sure, but it also produces chlorine in aboundance. It might produce some oxyten as well. But what is to be done with the chlorine?
The reason is that in electrolysis the most reactive elements are the most likely to be separated to the two electrodes. Since seaware contains a lot of sodium chloride, NaCl, these elements will react preferentially to hydrogen and oxygen. Consequently, the sodium will be attracted to the negative electrode, where it reacts with the H2O to produce hydrogen and sodium hydroxide. The chlorine is attracted to the positive electrode where it is released.
Try it.
