I just talked to Mike McKay and he said that the materials are all used from the various claims areas IN THE Hassey Plant and that is the main plant that ( sole - he may imply here) has done all the testing. He awaits confirmations from Sabin Metals, that is the now and that will show, what has been done.

John, right now, they are planning to have either liquid hydrogen or pressurized hydrogen and unless the containers are designed to withstand any type of mechanical collision without rupture, it is a dangerous fuel, more dangerous than gasoline. Hydrogen per se, is said not be be worry some since even if it somehow leaks out, it is lighter than air and should not reach the explosive mixture ratio in open environments. In enclosed environments (like a leak into a closed or almost closed car), lighting up a cigarette could be quite a show. I presume the designers of these systems have taken all these into considerations, but I would rather they store hydrogen as metal hydrides which do not suffer from any of these problems.
