Abstract

In a previous work it has been demonstrated that solar radiation intercepted by an unconventional airship is sufficient for all energetic needs for civil uses, namely broadcastingand telecommunications. This article analyses the energetic feasibility of an airship, named PSICHE (acronym for‘photovoltaic stratospheric isle for conversion in hydrogen as energywith high quote and hydrogen and oxygen production are discussed. The advantages of this kindof hydrogen production are presented together with the environmental benefits of the system.
