Contrary to algore’s overinflated sense of self, the Trojans of USC had more to do with the creation of the Internet than any politician. This could be yet another Conquest by USC.

Wow. This could be a game changer. Very interesting indeed.

A big battery. Making hydrogen costs energy, doesn’t generate it

This is just grant-writing fluff.

Show me an actual application or it's meaningless.

"delivering several cycles of dehydrogenation at high"

In other words, disposable. Unless they can sell, and dispose of, it in powder form on a scale with gas. Closer, but no cigar.

Too bad we don't have hydrogen mines or hydrogen wells.

Hydrogen is not an energy source, it is an energy storage mechanism.

We still have to figure out a way to make hydrogen to be a fuel.

Still expensive and difficult to extract hydrogen from water. The difficulty and danger of transferring hydrogen will mean that only trained personnel will be allowed to handle and fill the tanks, further driving up the cost. It’s a step towards H2 powered cars, but small step.

I remember investing in a small cap back in the 90’s that was supposed to be able to store hydrogen. Millennium Cell and its boride storage technology turned into one big goose egg for me.

For later reading. It’s certainly full of hopeful potential. Maybe it won’t in the end be for as many applications as it’s touted, but will have its local uses, like on a farmstead or in a factory or something like that.

Sounds like the other scheme that could produce electric at a cost of only $2,000 a KW, but the price was expected to go down in the future. Funny how these “fantastic” breakthroughs have very little detail and absolutely no economic information.
