You can store enough energy in a 0201 capacitor, that shorting out this capacitor would create a tiny spark that can set hydrogen on fire. It's very very explosive, odorless, and the storage conditions are crazy compared to propane for example. It can literally go through steel for example due to the small atoms, and crack it in the process (called hydrogen embrittlement). When they talk about adding it to regular district heating, I really hope they know what they are doing, because it would be a disaster, if pipes of the gas network would wear out and break. |

Good diagram. But, does it account for the difficulty in insulating UK homes to support heat pumps? Having embarked upon the process of insulating our 1930's detached home, it is definitely not a trivial process usually requiring bespoke techniques for each property. |
