with the reporter in tow and it DID work. This is
interesting tech for sure.

Thanks Ken...and it appears from websearch that Sodium
borohydride itself derived from the Boron elements
from its oxide such as sodium borate. Also, I read
boron is a pretty good fuel alternative to carbon
based. Boron is near carbon on the chemical table.
Looks like boron for fuel cells is
Hi,
As I remember, one of the problems with sodium and other borohydrides is
that boron is a relatively scarce element if considered for use on a
global scale. The main deposits are found in Turkey, Chile and Southern
California (owned in the major part by Rio Tinto, and 3 other smaller
name .. had on their staff individuals who researched everything printed on
any subject prior to even beginning serious research into anything they may
wish to sell.
If anything had been written on it .. process/compounds/what have you ..
they would not be able to get a patent on that
Sam, Thanks. Brilliant synopsis. I will read and
re-read your overview.
