They’ve realized it’s an impossible task. Even if they figure out how to not leak it everywhere and not store it at immense pressures hydrogen embrittlement is probably an insurmountable challenge.
Is hydrogen embrittlement really the biggest issue? I think that’s more surmountable than the problem with hydrogen availability, storage, and transport.
Seems like you could use stainless, limit the number of parts that touch the hydrogen, limit the fatigue stress they see, and recycle them every now and then just like you’d need to do with a battery. Am I missing something?
Think the idea was to break water down and get hidrogen. Also I respect them for trying something new. Maybe they won’t reach their goal but their research is a step forward
