Some alloys which consists of a strong hydride former and a weak are able to form weaker bonds, thereby requiring less input to release stored hydrogen. However if the interaction is too weak, the pressure needed for rehydriding is high, thereby eliminating any energy savings. These guys seem to think they have discovered a happy medium

of course it could be another "cold fusion" scam or it might be a way for intermittent energy such as solar and wind to become practical ]]> Science jackdog http://www.politicalforum.com/science/303860-cheap-alternative-energy.html http://www.politicalforum.com/science/303777-what-can-done-stop-destructive-tornados-new-post.html Tue, 21 May 2013 06:01:32 GMT Can anyone suggest anything we in the US can do to stop these terrible tornados ?

Feel free to pose ideas, no matter how outlandish they may seem initially. Don't worry about the naysayers. The inventors of electric light, automobiles, airplanes and computers all had those "don't be ridiculous people" tugging at them too.

Seems like 44 years after scientists put a man on the moon (so they say), we ought to be able to come up with some way to stop these destructive tornados. Unlike hurricanes, they're not really too big at their base. Any ideas ? Anything. ]]> Science protectionist http://www.politicalforum.com/science/303777-what-can-done-stop-destructive-tornados.html http://www.politicalforum.com/science/303478-video-ice-sheet-lake-mille-lacs-minnesota-quick-moving-ice-sheet-threatens-hom-new-post.html Sun, 19 May 2013 11:36:35 GMT Don't miss this video.. its an amazing sight to see it moving so quickly.

LAKE MILLE LACS, MINN. -- A huge sheet of ice is acting like a glacier on speed on Lake Mille Lacs in northern Minnesota and as it quickly moves on shore it endangers property and homes.

Amateur video shows ice creeping on shore at a rate of about one foot in just 30 seconds.

Residents are reporting the ice charging right on into their homes, knocking in doors and windows.

The movement seems to be caused by strong wind gusts pushing the sheet of ice.
