From what I've understood you can make the it in any shape you want. When the NH3 is released from the salt it creates a "tunnel" so that those molecules deeper inside the structure easily can escape, which is a huge difference from the currently used metal an-hydrids.
There's been quite alot about them in the media over here.

everybody is so freakin retarted and think they know what they are talking about with energy. This makes so much sense because hydrogen is everywhere and we can cheaply put as much as we want into pills.
cheapest way to get H2 is to derive it from methane(natural gas)...or you could derive it from other sources such as water, at a huge energy cost, by using oil or coal.
the oly alternatives to fossil fuel are fusion and fission

good questions, I'd like to know as well
well i spose it just depends weather they would like to do something good for most everyone on earth (keep the patent out of the greedy oil companies hands), or want to make a quick dollar (sell the patent to one of the oil companies)
i heard something like that happend with an engine that ran on corn oil
Sigh....
People just don't get it, no matter how many times you explain it. Hydrogen will not make us independent from oil... oil is an energy source AND an energy carrier, hydrogen is just an energy carrier. We have to use energy derived from power plants to produce combustable hydrogen. And the vast, vast majority of our power plants get electricity from oil and coal.
To be independent from oil, we need more power plants that use energy from wind, solar and nuclear sources. So THAT is the first step in becoming indepedent from oil, not producing a new way to transport hydrogen. Sure it's important, but its nothing compared to the huge task of getting the same amount of energy from wind, solar and nuclear sources that we now get from oil and coal.

internal combustion engines are about 35% efficient, mabe 40% with htdrogen instead of octane. (efficient = conversion of chemical energy > mechanical)
octane is very cheap to extract from crude oil. ammonia is pretty cheap to. however, you lose energy in catalyzing the hydrogen out of ammonia, and then it has to be burnt like octane. the energy density in the ammonia pellets is a lot less than in gasoline(they are metal, catalysts, and ammonia, not hydrogen), so the milage will not be nearly as good. these pellets are also way more expensive to make and supply. (catalysts of this sort often have expensive metals like platinum)
this is not the answer to any oil shortage or gas pricwe problems. quit hyping it up people
