The TU Delft Hydro Motion Team, composed of Dutch students, recently accomplished a significant feat by completing a 169-km journey across the North Sea in a specially designed hydrogen-powered boat. Departing from Breskens in the Netherlands, the team encountered obstacles, including technical issues like a broken cooling pump, which they efficiently replaced during a pitstop in Zeebrugge. Despite the challenges, the students successfully reached Ramsgate on the Kent coast. The innovative boat, propelled by a hydrogen fuel cell system, utilized only half of its hydrogen supply for the entire voyage, showcasing efficient energy usage. To navigate the rough North Sea waves, the team employed unique strut and foil systems to lift the boat and reduce water resistance. This project, inspired by the team's previous victory at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, aims to underscore the potential of hydrogen as a sustainable energy source in the maritime industry. The students believe that by demonstrating the capabilities of their vessel, they can promote greater adoption of hydrogen technology and foster collaborative efforts to address environmental concerns in the sector.
