of weight a rider carries, an additional 700 watt-hours of energy is available (compared to ~350 watt-hours for an ultra-high performance lithium-polymer battery at a weight of 7 lbs.). A key innovation is the use of sodium silicide to liberate hydrogen from water as needed by the hybrid fuel cell. For every 1.5 Earlier post.)
