Where could it all be going?
Some of it is absorbing into the metal hydride, and some is leaking out
of the cell into the air.
It would only be a huge amount if it were all undergoing nuclear fusion
(fusion with itself or with copper). Assuming this is fusion, only a
tiny fraction of it is doing that.
Hydrogen is difficult to contain. The pipes and stopcocks shown in this
video are gas-tight, but not up the standards of expensive Swaglok
fittings, so I am sure there is significant leakage.
In a commercial unit there would also be a certain amount of hydrogen
leakage. I do not think this would present any danger. Overall it would
be less than the leakage of natural gas from your stove and oven before
the gas ignites.
