Top Comments of this video!! :3
I'm 16 and I'm working on getting a Nasa internship next summer & I am trying to also get into MIT. I want to study Chemical engineering and Renewable energy research to go into a line of work focusing on things like this. I'm happy to see this video because it's just confirming my interests and making me more excited for this career.

Once again a clear logical explanation of technological advancement where the catalyst chemicals will bring down cost. Matt has outlined a good number of positive aspects that are key in battery functionality over a 30 year life span. In a battery that is completely recyclable. A catalyst will be found that cuts cost further once it is proven.

These nickel hydrogen batteries have all the benefits of durability, but they suffer from high self discharge and low voltage. Got to play with a few of them made by Space Data corporation. The cool thing about them is that they can take overcharging well, highly recommended for mission-critical solar use. They contain lots of platinum and palladium, but they do show up at surplus auctions occasionally confused with high voltage components.

Just started following your channel and podcast and really enjoying the content. I'm interested in a review of home scale battery systems in development. My family and I live off grid and would like to know what might be available in the future when it comes time to replace our lithium banks. Cheers and keep up the good work.

For reference the capacity of these batteries is about 20% of currently available lithium ion batteries. The next generation that LG, Tesla, Panasonic, etc is gearing up for will be even worse.
Would love to see real, firm numbers on these : cost per kwh, infrastructure required to host (the battery arrays are HUGE vs lithium ion), self discharge and mitigation issues, and so on.
Theres no free lunch, and there's a reason these have been looked over for so long.

Having worked with High Vacuum systems in the past, our biggest problem was from Hydrogen flowing through the steel walls of the containers. The vacuum chambers were fabricated from thick steel with a longitudinal grain and liquid nitrogen cooling to minimise the flow of hydrogen atoms from the steel. At the sort of pressures you mention here, isn't there significant long-term pressure loss through the walls of the containment vessels?

My dad used to work out Intelsat. Some really cool stories out of his experience there. The main building in D.C. has several atriums that were used in the filming of Star Wars scenes inside the Death Star (the catwalks without railing). Shame that it started going downhill some years ago, he jumped ship with early retirement before they got around to laying him off with the other senior staff. No idea how they are doing now.
