I think this is open to a lot of questions. I'd want to see a
comparison for the atomic weight of metal hydrides to H2 quantity
vs. C60 to H2 quantity. If one can store H2 in C60, then one
ought to be able to store it in capped nanotubes. But I'm not
so sure that the 800 atm or the 8 hours to refuel your fuel
tank are going to work unless one has an H2 generator in
every garage so vehicles are refueled overnight everynight.
Still a way to go with this idea I think.
Robert
