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.

Well, IDK if closed electronics would be a good idea being that the H2 storage gives off h20 (not good for electronics), but what if it could be used as a portable generator or in larger applications where an exaust pipe could be used to direct the products away from the H2 motor? RC cars can burn gasoline, so the same scale could be used for the battery, using a small h2 engine (RC sized) as a generator.
