Default Hydrogen

some hydrogen stories in the news lately.

They can now use bacteria to produce hydrogen. In laboratory experiments, their reactor generated hydrogen gas at nearly 99 percent of the theoretical maximum yield using aetic acid, a common dead-end product of glucose ermentation. "This process produces 288 percent more energy in hydrogen than the electrical energy that is added in the process". 288 PERCENT MORE ENERGY!!

"In terms of hydrogen absorption, these materials could prove a world record," Phillips said. "Most materials today absorb only 7 to 8 percent of hydrogen by weight, and only at cryogenic [extremely low] temperatures. Our materials absorb hydrogen up to 14 percent by weight at room temperature. By absorbing twice as much hydrogen, the new materials could help make the dream of a hydrogen economy come true."

Wow! This could truly change mankind, and quickly. Unlimited clean energy - the holy grail we've been looking for. I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more news lately. The hell with coal, nuclear power, oil.. Lets hope this works!
