If it works so extremely well for heavy, small volume welding bottle tanks why
hasn't it caught in the much more profitable market of fuel cells?


I believe the poblem lies in the rate at which the gas can be extracted/stored,
this is a function of the surface area of the hydride, for large fuel cells used for
transportation functions you can't get enough gas to feed the fuel cell during periods
of heavy demand.
