hydrogen storage

according to my physics professor, hydrogen is 3x better than gas by weight, hydrogen (liquified) is 3x worse than gas by volume

please recheck the facts, hydrogen economy is not the best choice, i say hydrogen tank is worse than an exploding battery

sounds cool

Sounds like an awesome idea. I've got this picture in my head of people buying this things and running their houses totally on hydrogen.

How do you start the computer?

'So the natural heat of running a laptop would be enough to spark the gas supply into action, apparently.'

Wow...fantastic theory - how do you get it started initially again? (when things are OFF and not producing heat)

60C? Do I now need to overclock things to get the temps high enough to heat the fuel cell? Bring back the smaller heat sinks!

Just don't let sony build them.

Sony made a bomb from a li-ion battery, wonder what they'll make from this? Hydrogen bomb?

Any connection with Librex, I wonder?

IIRC, early-1990s laptop maker Librex was a division of a major Japanese steel company. I used to use and support their machines - decent, if uninspiring, and the company gave up on the market after a few years.

Bad Joke

Sorry sir, but your laptop contains a bomb as a power supply. We simply cannot let you board this plane.

In future, PCs will run on gas, say Japanese boffins

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
