PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide efficient electric propulsion by rotating a propeller by electric power generated in a fuel cell by separating hydrogen from mixed gas after reforming methanol to the mixed gas of hydrogen and carbon dioxide and by chemical reaction of this hydrogen and oxygen from a tank for oxygen storage. SOLUTION: A tank 1 for methanol storage, a tank 2 for oxygen storage and a reformer 4 to reform methanol taken out of the tank 1 for methanol storage to mixed gas of hydrogen and carbon dioxide are provided in a hull 14. A hydrogen separator 5 to separate hydrogen from the mixed gas generated in the reformer 4 is provided, and a fuel cell 3 to generate a direct electric current by receiving hydrogen fed and supplied from this separator 5 and oxygen fed and supplied from the tank 2 for oxygen storage through an oxygen supplier 8 is provided. Thereafter, propulsive force is provided by connecting an electric motor 6 for propeller driving to an electric power regulator 7 fed electricity from the fuel cell 3 and rotating a propeller 17 by motive power generated by the electric motor 6 through a reducing gear 15. |
