Wasn't ENER involved in a solid state H storage medium ? Haven't looked at them in long time.. Yes Hydrogen would be best.. but somehow the Hindenberg is etched in our genetic memory :O)

LOL!! The Hindenberg caught fire due to the flammable doping in the fabric skin. Just look at the photos.. you can see smoke and it was described as going up in a fiery flash.. But since Hydrogen burns with a colorless flame, it would be hard to assign that fiery flash to it's fuel.

But QTWW's 10K/PSI tanks are a solution that can provide a 300 mile range for most fuel cell cars. Any fuel tank that can resist a .30/cal ARMOR PIERCING bullet while fully filled is far safer than what currently exist to hold even more dangerous gasoline.

A 10K/PSI tank can hold 80% more hydrogen than a 5K/PSI tank. That greatly extends the range:

Just something to think about.
