In this Illustration we have my concept for a floating turbine wind farm that would be deployed far out to sea, over the horizon as to not effect the skyline or the fishing industry. Conventional sea based wind farms are expensive to build and the consumers see this reflected in their utility bills. Conventional wind turbine projects cause controversy with the resident that live near them. My wind to hydrogen concept will turn sea water into liquid hydrogen "Electrolysis" that can be used to heat homes, power fuel cells for hybrid vehicles, Electric utility corporations will be using the same infrastructure they use now to store and transport this fuel, and use the same natural gas burning facilities they currently have in place with little or no modifications. Liquid hydrogen gas burning facilities will turn sea water into clean fresh "Desalinated Water" and generate electricity at the same time. Wind and Hydrogen will not run out or change the worlds climate like burning fossil fuels. We can be Clean, Green, and live the kind of lifestyle we are accustom to living today.

The major advantages of this concept over "conventional" wind to electricity projects, is that Hydrogen can be stored and shipped all over the world, not just to the folks that live near the sea. This concept makes 5 products: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Drinking Water, Sea Salt and Electricity, from the same energy cost of conventional wind to electricity turbines. Conventional wind turbines makes electricity that is transmitted over a short distance, and this electricity can not be stored, it has to be used as it is made. Conventional wind farms are expensive, permanent, inshore platforms that many people think are ugly and protest to stop projects. This concept will be relocated or duplicated anywhere wind and water are found. No need to to purchase land rights and "Utility Rate Payers", ( This is all of us ) will not see a change in cost because the electric companies will be buying the fuel just as they do now, but rather than natural gas, it will be Clean Burning Liquid Hydrogen!

FACT: The ocean covers 71% of the Earth’s surface and contains 97 percent of the planet’s water. The highest average wind speeds accessible to wind energy development can only be found only far out to sea.

My concept could be mass-produced on land and assembled in a few hours at sea. At a fraction of the cost of Conventional sea based wind farms that require specialized equipment and personnel to constructed them and this comes at cost. My concept will Eliminate the need for inverters to match the currant to the power grid and it would eliminate the need miles of transmission lines. At the same time it will be creating thousands of "New Jobs" where ever this technology is duplicated. New jobs, not for a select few, but rather jobs in many trades and professions the world over.

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), found that a kilogram of hydrogen (roughly equivalent to a gallon of gasoline) could be produced by wind powered electrolysis for between .55 in the near term and .27 in the long term. Using conventional wind turbines.

The total solar energy absorbed by Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850,000 exajoules (EJ) per year. This is more energy in one hour than the Earths population uses in one year.

This is not science fiction, the technology is here today!

The floating platform is based on the same concept as the "FLIP" floating instrument platform, launched in 1962 by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego and is a very stable platform in all weather.
