The WINDHUNTER SYSTEM concept is an offshore, floating system that uses several wind turbines for power output to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water. This continously manned, safe and stable system will be easily maintained on-board while relocating to the best wind conditions for the wind turbines. The produced hydrogen gas may be compressed and stored as gas or liquified and placed in insulated tanks. The compressed gas or tanks of liquified gas may be transferred by helicopter or surface ships with insulated containers.
This is the sort of thing we need to be persuing in our search for better energy sources--NEARLY FREE ENERGY.

Yeah, I've heard about this. But is using helicopters to transport cost effective?
I'm not quite sure how the energy gets off the rig in an efficient manner, especially if it winds up miles off-shore.
Yeah, that obviously is a problem. I would imagine ships would be used. Certainly helicopters would be a waste.
Even though it costs energy to get the hydrogen back to shore, the energy was basically free in the first place. Theoretically, the boat taking the hydrogen back could run on the very hydrogen that the windhunter system produced.
