Nice website intro. I hope it makes it and I see one on the street, vive la difference and all that, but its a bit flawed.
Weight 2300kg. Range 373 miles. Where are they going to find 400l of seawater every 373 miles? Maybe its only for those rich people living by the shore. http://www.nanoflowcell.com/en#footer http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-new...r-public-roads If its electrolysing hydrogen out of seawater, from what I read that is a very inefficient and not energy dense process. Lithium batteries are much better.

I think its to do with the salt and mineral content of sea water, it is already an electrolyte and will conduct a current. Its a long time since I studied physics, so I could be wrong.
You could add salt to tap water, but for 400l it might cost quite a bit for the salt

Not going to work unless you have miniature nuclear power station on board generating electricity to split water.

we've seen all this before on this forum with somebody attempting to justify onboard electrolysis to provide hydrogen. Unfortunately as HP and Ainar point out you need a lot of power in the first place and it doesnt meet the laws of physics as we know them.
