A more useful energy storing concept is being researched by Purdue University in the USA which combines Aluminium with Gallium which then reacts with water at room temperature to produce Hydrogen on demand.
The alumina powder residue can be reformed into Aluminium and the Gallium is 100% recoverable. 1 lb of aluminium produces 3,000 liters of hydrogen.
A neat method of recycling cans into alumina while producing H2 for anything profitable. It depends upon your location whether it is practical. Have Purdue compared 1lb of aluminium to 1lb of diesel ?
