Solid Forms of Hydrogen

Hello,

I'm curious about the talk of solid forms of hydrogen shaped like a CD disk. Apparently, this would replace the tank and distribution problem. Please let me know if there is any info on this and what companies are involved.
Thanks,

Hindenburg Hydrogen

Hey Ed:

FYI The hydrogen in the airship accident was a result not the cause. Cause was a new doping compound with aluminum and iron particules used for their reflective characteristics to reduce the heat rise from incident radiation in flight. The mixture is quite similar to the propellant used in our rocket motors today. This fact was known to the German engineers who kept quiet while the Americans went on about the dangerous hydrogen. Probably this helped avoid litigation that would have come if the public had known about the dangers of using the new dope, this was the first time in use.

Editor's Response:
While hydrogen was not the cause of the Hindenberg conflagration, it certainly provided the bulk of the fuel. Using the Hindenberg example is merely a vivid way to illustrate the magnitude of a disaster that might occur not with an airship, but what could happen with a large, highly pressurized hydrogen storage vessel that fails and catches fire.
