Wouldn't it be greener for the boat to simply run on hydrofoil, not to mention the extra trips it could get in per day because of the extra speed? I have always wondered why we don't have more large hydrofoil ferries...is it because they have to go TOO fast for the bay's speed limit?
Steam engines to operate with modern understanding of heat transfer, they would work to heat a media that has a lower boiling point of water. this would allow the use of fuels not considered when not needed to create the intensive heat needed before. if the heat requiredis low enough the heat needed could be supplied from sources such as solar complimented by the heat generated by the friction of the motor itself.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
