To all: any concerns re. hydrogen safety? ie Hindenburg effect? Hydrogen is more difficult to contain because of its much smaller size compared to other molecules and once out has wide range of explosion limits. Back of envelope calculation indicates - 5 - 10% loss of efficiency as result of reformer.

I believe the fuel cell is a Ballard cell or at least Ballard technology is involved. HDW has been working with Ballard for a number of years on it. Fuel cell Air Independent Propulsion is very quiet (needed in submarine warfare). This stuff is cutting edge.
