< your pollyanna approach to energy production > All of the auto manufacturers are working on fuel cell and/or internal combustion engine autos that will run on hydrogen. Chevron/Texaco, Shell and other major oil companies are heavily investing in the future production, storage and transportation of hydrogen for autos. But I am a misguided polyanna for seeing a future for hydrogen in autos? I guess that you are right and all of the engineers working on hydrogen solutions are wrong. You need to do your duty and warn them that they are wasting their time. Apparently you don't know about the safe, ambient temperature, solid state storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides. < Yea, it called a voltaic cell (i.e battery) what's your point? You should read warnings on the side of those things. I know about a liquid that stores hydrogen at room temperature... it's called gasoline. > Wrong. The function of a metal hydride is to soak up hydrogen like a sponge soaks up water and hold it safely until heat drives it off. That waste heat can come from a fuel cell or ICE engine. A perfect match. A nickle metal hydride battery contains a metal hydride as the name implies, but the function of the hydride is to hold the hydrogen driven off when the cell is charged, and to release it when needed by the cell to create electricity. The hydride itself is not involved in the reaction that produces the electricity. ovonic.com The gasoline that you are so fond of is a mixture of hydrocarbons that are more than 2/3 HYDROGEN! Take away the carbon and you have pure hydrogen. No CO2 to add to global warming. Imagine that. I am not going to waste time posting to you again until you learn a little more about the subject. Here's a start. h2fc.com Del
