possibly future robot batteries?
Could you please refrain from constantly posting these news articles? I understand that one or two every so often are understandable, but it seems the bulk of your posts seem to be these repetetive threads on random news that, frankly, I don’t care about. I am not standing alone on this, as I have already talked to several people about it, and they have similar feelings.
Dave says it better than *(http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=292571&postcount=58) You are posting copyrighted text here and shouldn’t.

I apologize if I have annoyed anyone with the articles. Some of the articles have had successful discussions and debates that followed them such as the Microsoft School article, the energy article, and the RIAA debate. I had originally hoped that posting articles that related to science and technology, I would spark an interest in discussing in the sciences in general outside of robotics.
It seems as if you believe that I have failed in this regard. I feel as if I have misjudged the nature of the participants on this forum. Again, I am sorry.
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.

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.

Actually, under the fair use policy listed in article 107 on the U.S. Copyright Office’s Copyright Law document, this is considered a news source and is openly available for quotation given citation (which the source is linked to in the quotation).

It never says that. It just says that the article amount will be a factor to consider, just like the nature of the article. Nowhere does it specify that using the entire article is infringement.
Being that CD is non proffit, quoting most of the article with a link would be no different than linking to it directly.
