The promise of cheap energy via the Hydrogen Fuel Cell has just become more of a reality thanks to a serendipitous discovery!  Researchers at the US Army Aberdeen Proving Ground Research Laboratory were developing a high-strength aluminum alloy when they made a startling discovery - water poured over its surface started bubbling and producing hydrogen gas. And it kept producing gas contrary to the typical reaction where aluminum exposed to water oxidizes, creating a protective barrier to prevent further reactions from occurring.
