There is way more Hydrogen on Earth than Helium. So, if Hydrogen shrinkage can deliver energy, then we are better off using that. Besides, Hydrogen shrunk to that size (a few fm), would probably undergo fusion extremely fast (with just about anything), resulting in an inexhaustible energy supply, whereas Helium, as you envisage it, would need to be re-expanded, in order to be reused, and the expansion energy has to come from somewhere, making Helium only an energy storage mechanism, rather than a primary source, unless you throw it away, once shrunk. Of course it could also fuse with some nuclei, but what is the point of that when Hydrogen is so much more available? > >On the possibility of "dense helium" - shall we call it the "alpharino" ? > >Helium, unlike hydrogen, will not diffuse through metals - so long as the >metal is nonporous.
