Stumbled across this one thanks to another discussion over at james_nicoll's LJ. Chicken feathers for hydrogen fuel storage tech.

How seriously should we all take this particular item?

Hmmm...well, this seems to be the next step in the info-sourcing chain after that Corpus Callosum blog:

http://spectrum.ieee.org/green-tech/fuel-cells/hydrogen-helper

And that page points to the U of Delaware in turn. They'd be using the feather tubing as a storage medium for the hydrogen if I understand this correctly. Right?

Oh, and here's the profile for the guy making the claim. (http://www.che.udel.edu/directory/facultyprofile.html?id=471)

(IEEE is a Big Acronym in engineering circles, right?)
