It's a floating data center. They started out as autonomous hydrogen electrolysis in the middle of the ocean, then shipping liquid hydrogen back to land. Now they pivoted to using the hydrogen to power onboard compute
So they generate electricity from wave power then use that to electrolyze water and put that to a catalyst to generate electricity?
Seems unnecessarily overcomplicated with lots of inefficiencies. Why not just power the computer's directly? For
Definitely wasteful to convert. I'm guessing the hydrogen is a store for when waves aren't wavey.
