Re: How is the hydrogen stored in the car?

"Absorbed on something? I haven't heard of them getting that working well yet."

Actually NiMH batteries, which work very well, do so by dissociating hydrogen and storing it in mischmetall when charging, then reacting it to get electricity. It's a pity nickel and transition metals are so dense, but a lot of hybrids use NiMH because it is safe and reliable.
