Transferring and storing low flash point fuels (LFF) in a ship presents a series of potentially catastrophic scenarios where leaks and permeation can become trapped in pockets creating a risk of explosion. It is essential that the gas does not reach the critical stoichiometric concentration (e.g. 4% H2) and that it is evacuated before an explosion. Withou...

The HyCap Drive project will build a prototype marine parallel hybrid drive in which the electrical power is provided by a super-capacitor energy store. This differs from the traditional marine hybrid drive configuration that uses lithium-ion batteries as the source of electrical power. The main advantages of this novel HyCap configuration are: (1) enhanc...

The transition to hybrid-electric and fully electric vehicles on UK roads has been aided and enabled by the abundance of available outlets to recharge batteries (car park fast charging, domestic installations). The development of battery technology has removed factors that inhibit the uptake of vehicles including -- range anxiety, time taken to charge, an...
