RC Plane Uses Seawater For Fuel



The US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) scientists successfully flew a remote controlled airplane that used fuel derived from seawater. The seawater was ran through a E-CEM (electrolytic cation exchange module) Carbon Capture skid, that removes carbon dioxide from the water while simultaneously producing hydrogen during the process. Using this system the CO2 and hydrogen gases are then converted into liquid hydrocarbon fuel.


Last September the seawater fuel was used in a gas powered RC P-51 Mustang. It is the first time that the fuel has been used in a conventional combustion engine. With the first flight a success, the researchers are now working on a commercial scale system.
