New Generation of Hydrogen Fuel Cells Powers Up

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the juiced dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A safer and more practical way of storing and releasing hydrogen, discovered by two Arizona State University researchers, could lead to a new type of fuel cell capable of packing 10 times more energy. The key is apparently using the alkaline compound borohydride — 'a 30% solution of borohydride in water actually contains one-third more hydrogen than the same volume of liquid hydrogen.'"

    I do not look forward to the day that hydrogen fuel cells start going super saiyin. All that grunting and screaming combined with ruined topography, oh my!

    You guys should be off arguing about Star Wars like everyone else, not this scientific crap! Geeks.
