I was reading an article about some Stanford researchers who have come up with a machine that uses sunlight to produce liters of water a day using "metal/organic frameworks". This matters to us in the parched west ( or did till we got 50" of rain this winter).
But the relevant part is...
"Yaghi invented metal-organic frameworks more than 20 years ago, combining metals like magnesium or aluminum with organic molecules in a tinker-toy arrangement to create rigid, porous structures ideal for storing gases and liquids. Since then, more than 20,000 different MOFs have been created by researchers worldwide. Some hold chemicals such as hydrogen or methane: the chemical company BASF is testing one of Yaghi's MOFs in natural gas-fueled trucks, since MOF-filled tanks hold three times the methane that can be pumped under pressure into an empty tank." In Sciencedaily.com.
20 years? WTF?
Neither aluminum nor magnesium are terribly expensive.
Where's WPRT's high volume storage tank?
