Abstract: A hydrogen cooled hydrogen storage unit. The unit employs excess hydrogen flow between hydrogen storage alloy rods in the hydrogen storage unit in order to provide convective cooling thereof. The unit provides for high packing density of the storage materials. The unit also allows for efficient thermal transfer of heat energy from a central source of heat through the rods thereof during discharge of the stored hydrogen. The hydrogen storage rods of the unit are encased in an encapsulant layer which prevents entrainment of the hydrogen storage material in the high flow rate hydrogen.
