ABSTRACT
This thesis investigates the applicability of present fuel cells y stemst o small manned submersibles. A general review covers the history of submarine power systems andsearch submersibles, important considerations in submersible power system design, alternative energy sources, and the basic principles and development of the chemical fuel cell.
Three modern fuel cells y stems for submarine use are examined in some detail, and the impact of replacing the lead-acid batter y system of the 24 ton submersible, Sea Cliff, with a current hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell is assessed.
