Lots of sugar in this hype cookie. Great effort to maintain a revolutionary breakthrough tone and avoids any comparison with existing hydrogen systems.<p>And did they really just refer to high pressure vessel ruptures as &quot;safe nonflammable bursts&quot;? instead of &quot;explosions&quot;. I&#x27;ve heard compressed hydrogen will expand faster than it can possibly burn when all suddenly uncompressed but c&#x27;mon that&#x27;s an explosion.

&gt; <i>Professor Aguey-Zinsou said the alloy contained titanium and &quot;other common materials&quot;, but declined to name them, pending the issuance of a formal patent expected within weeks.</i><p>So ... I guess they don&#x27;t have an independent verification of their claims.
