hydrogen fuel performance can be increased with the use of "boost caps" which gathers used energy and boosts it back into energy consumption. For example, if you were racing a fuel cell car, the energy while you gas it would be stored until you let off for a turn. after the turn you gas it again and there is the excess energy from the boost cap

well i just saw something on the news earlier this evening and this one professor i believe from Purdue created this Al/H20 mixture in which the energy was stored in these things that looked like little metal drops. Apparatnly, this is supposed to be some sort of fuel that can work in combustion engines. The H2O is stored in the aluminum and when needed for fuel, hydrogen is released. The only waste is H2O. Seems a little bit of a weird concept for me as of now, but interesting none the less
