Hey, now, lets actually make this one into a usable discussion as well then! Honestly, the articles are interesting, but just make sure all the t's are dotted and i's are crossed...

Anyways, far past robot batteries, this is interesting regarding power storage. My question is, they make a big deal about energy density and power small devices like camcorders, but is it really that dense if you consider needing another separate component in each battery to convert the H2 into electricity? With a typical battery, most of it's weight is directly related to storing energy. Hook some wires up to the storage cells, and you're got power. The jump to a chemical reaction producing H2 which then may be used to create the juice seems like a complex step, but still possibly viable.

Regardless, our boys over in Ireland will have that free power thing going long before these become viable, so I guess these'll be kinda obsolete before birth, huh? I already bought stock in Steorn.
