Hydrogen Stored in Safe High Density Pellets

sunbeam60 writes "A group of scientists are going to present their breakthrough in hydrogen storage this Wednesday. In contrast to previous storage mechanisms, this method binds hydrogen to a pellet which is completely safe to handle at room temperature. While bound in this medium no hydrogen loss occurs, enabling hydrogen to be stored cheaply for indefinite periods. When needed, the extraction of hydrogen is relatively simple. The pellets exceed all criteria set by the US Department of Energy for 2015, enabling a car to drive more than 500 km on a 50 L tank (13 MJ/l)"

And on a related note- Sugar in your gas tank won't hurt your motor- It will just clog your fuel filter and your car won't run due to a clogged fuel filter. And even if it gets past the filter and into the motor, it won't hurt the motor.
Wait- is this offtopic? Can anything be offtopic when the posted article is so bad that there is nothing to reply to, except to point out its shortcomings?

If this site is so bad, why are u here reading and posting comments??

Maybe because watching a train crash is good entertainment on a lazy unproductive afternoon... that's my excuse!

I think it's pretty obvious: ENERGON

Careful though when you fill up on it, those damn Autobots might show up and blow everything up!!

But try again.. and they will blow it up again!

Wash, rince, repeat and make it a TV series!

I'm sure if Dubya hears about it, he'll personally head up an investigation into why the chemical industry should be scrapped as it removes the need for more oil and hence the need to invade middle-eastern countries.

[Assuming you're joking] He (GWB) could always just invade middle-eastern countries for sport while Pat Robertson is busy assassinating the president of Venezuela...
