You guys no your stuff

If you give us money we will build it, keep our mouth shut and congratulate you.

You have not seen much of the world if that is the only reason, you have no idea how lucky you are and how much you take for granted

@@willemhaifetz-chen1588 That's not us but the world, we are actually one of the few country's that criticizes their own behavior

Nice 🤣

Poor old William Fence.

When he mentioned Hydrogen I said , Bill is the owner

Tax evasion but of course. Talk to a company controller for some hair raising synopsis'.

He was most likely able to catapult the "build costs" into a particularily profitable year

No. Besides, the whole green scam is pathetic.

@@cosmicsurfer5911, so we should stay in the stone age?

Tax evasion or a show off only, ashes in the eyes of the poor, regular people.

shut up

And you are asking this from an Englishman??? ddd

So you think Feadship would have provided pictures of the interior of their newest and most radical yacht???

Agree but the cost even my motor to go ev was going to cost $15000 so $5500 had my. Petrol motor rebuilt Marty Australia

At one time, it wasn’t easy going by steam. This is what it looks like to be present in the era of a major technological shift. One of those propulsion technologies will someday carry your new tech gadget across the globe to you, to be delivered to your home by an EV truck or van.

@@Markle2k Yes, new tech always is expensive. I remember when handheld calculators cost hundreds of dollars when they first came out in the 1970's.

toys .... quite agree ... /// tick ...

That was regarding the hydrogen fuel cell. He does go on to discuss the reformer process.

@@Private-GtngxNMBKvYzXyPq that he does. However if I recall correctly he explicitly avoids the words CO2 emissions. Please correct me if I’m wrong. There’s no need to have separate discussions about the exhaust from one end of the process from exhaust from the other end of the process. The whole point of “green” is less CO2 emissions that result in less global warming from whatever activity. So, CO2 emissions.

@@tedspradley except that the vessel is capable of storing and using pure hydrogen where available.

Yup, there is no free lunch. It takes massive amounts of electricity to separate the H from H2O in the quantities required. Hydrogen unfortunately doesn't exist in nature in its pure form. It's always attached to something.

Another comment to you that I think you will find is along the same lines as this video. 😊 A coworker had an old used Volvo diesel engine car. He was so proud to talk about him getting old used vegetable olds from waste at say the restaurant, any old by product of used fuels that he could run in his piece of junk of a car, that it's poor Diesel engine was basically telling him, "Help" you are killing me. I would watch him try and start her up. The engine would just be struggling To even START. But he pounded his chest look at me, I'm saving the planet. The poor engine would just smoke ( Pollution) And just struggle to drive off from the employees parking lot. Another thing I thought you would find interesting was these bow hard coworkers never cared a hoot about the equipment we bought from say Cat or John Deere or Case. Then one day a former Seahawks football player shows up at our shop. He got into selling heavy equipment at a bar, by a salesman who said he could sell Cat equipment after he retired from football fame. The biggest bully in our workplace who never ever even checked the "OIL" on the backhoes. Just as perplexed at me, him saying do you know who he is. I told this coworker who was hired just to spy on all us coworkers to see if we were bad mouth The Director. In the downturn of 2008, there were LAY offs in the workplace. The Director got rid of everyone that my bullying coworker turned into Director I know my words are just bitching about workplace, but I thought you would find funny about running a poor old tired Volvo Diesel on vegetable used waste OILs, and what a former football star will do in a workplace selling Cat heavy equipment. To end this rant on. We only bought ONE Cat Backhoe, the big priced equipment like are front end loader is a JD 😊 and parks department bought a lot of Kabota Farm 3 point hitch types. Plus some N.H. For me personally in my Retirement I bought a tryed and true beast of a 19000 Pounder Dynahoe-190 (1978) why you say. It goes back to my Union hall dispatch out to sewer mainline digging day. In 1979 I ran a new Dynahoe. They were very stout. I started running Backhoe on my dad's lap with the 580CK case machines. I ran every model of 580 series case equipment. But I saw how better and stronger a Dynahoe backhoe was built. Believe it or not. Back then a NEW Dynahoe was $90 thousand dollars. The case with extended hoe attachment could only dig down around 17 feet. The standard 190 Dynahoe with no extendahoe set up. If you put a (Bull nose) Basically a jackhammer on the hoe instead of a digging bucket. The Dynahoe would not come all loss so to speak. I even d Saw a local big time contractor working on a freeway job, have a Dynahoe on site in 2018, Bucyrus Erie "QUIT" making Dynahoe in the mid 1980s when BE stopped there construction line, and just focused on large mining equipment. As history shows after 100 years of building the most well built, bear for stout machine Cat approached BE in late 2011 if memory serves me, BE won a all BE mining equipment in a very long run deep mine in India. The Shareholders of BE said "OK" we will sell off to Cat after like I said 190s of years. BE built the Panama Canal, Even though Marion built the space shuttle track machine, it was really BE engineering that did all the work on that huge carrier. That why I bought and ❤ Bucyrus Erie equipment 😊 so much for my rambling my friend 😊

So is the gas tank in your car.

@@TesterAnimal1 I used to work with liquified gasses. They are far more dangerous than the gas in your car.

@@huddunlap3999if I’m not mistaken methanol is a nightmare if it catches fire because you can’t see the flames. When I worked at a chemical company, we always cringed anytime we had to work with methanol.

MY Hindenburg

Do you think cruise ships might go that way

Bloody Hell!

Hydrogen was used by our chemists to scavenge free O2 in the engine plant water system so we had a hydrogen locker aboard ship back in the 80s but there were no installed monitors. The containers would leak Hydrogen displacing air (oxygen) inside the locker. We lost 5 guys because they would not follow proper time consuming air quality testing procedures before entering the locker and they died of asphyxiation.

@Stetsonhatman That's sad to hear. Possibly oxygen sensors needed too then. For small quantity of H2 the safest way is to have a H2 generator from electricity, or possibly a safer getter.

@@Stetsonhatman H2S Alive is a one day course required in any oil patch work. AND confined space rescue. Even then, we've lost people in barge rescues and even old mine or depressons you'd think couldn't be classified as a closed space. Lost two scientist in BC a few years ago.

Nailed it!

If it gets sold, the new owner will likely change it.

More than one.

You might need to win a few lotteries.

Better be a biggie .. more than 650 mil plus running costs and fees. Bushyboy Oz

Even winning a "billion dollar" lottery in the US only gets you about $450 million. So you'd need 3 to cover the purchase price, taxes, and running costs.

@@GraemeHein That's why my dreams are scaled down to a 50m Nordhaven or Bering. This Gates yacht would give me anxiety.

LNG/LPG is used a lot already in the UK for Road Haulage. I drove a 44t Volvo with LNG a few years ago

@@oldhairpin really? i didn't know that. How was fueling it like? and how far did it go on one tank? how much was the fuel and how common were the fuel stations?

LNG & CNG has been commonplace in Thailand for at least a decade, but the energy density of NGs is much lower than diesel but can be burnt more efficiently when under high pressures . LNG is 40% lower than diesel and CNG is 75% lower.

They don't look like they are wheels, but their feet. I wonder what those speakers are.... they look like at least $50k, top audiophile stuff.... maybe over 100k.

If you want to understand how they’re thinking’s simply ask yourself: what would I do if money was no object?

SFA

6500 Nm according to superyachtimes

Never underestimate the comments section's ability to excel in that! Haha

Nobody builds a yacht because they want 'a bigger yacht than xxx'

They have to consider where they are going to refuel, and there are no plans to use this in the marine environment.

Yes, there is a reason. Its simply not even remotely possible to produce the energy needed to electrolytically break down water to hydrogen using mobile (i.e ocean going) power sources. Its a huge net energy loss thanks to the laws of thermodynamics. It would require a vast floating solar farm towed around behind the ship. It would be far greener, in fact, to install a US navy microreactor such as they use to power submarines. But that might bar the ship from most ports Id guess.

Is the ship up for sale due to Gates commissioning it prior to his divorce, so he no longer needs it?
