Submarines do just that. However, in the Submarine Force, the system is nicknamed the Bomb. If it fails to vent the hydrogen off the sub.....KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-they hydrogen will go off like a grenade. That is what would kill the concept right there, the danger of a hydrogen explosion. I have a friend in the Submarine Force, he was chief engineer on board one of the nuclear subs, and he says that this system is subject to frequent breakdowns and needs a lot of attention. And in applications like a submarine, where attention can be given to it on a daily basis, its not too big a deal. But a locomotive would have to be pulled out of service for this system to be worked on. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
