Sodium as energy carrier

I am trying to use sodium as energy carrier for an electric viechle. I use electricity from a windturbine to prodoce sodium. Then i react the sodium with water to produce hydrogin. This gives a bigger volumetric energy density than hydrogin.

 

Can anybody comment on this.

How are you keeping the sodium from causing an explosion when reacting with the water? It seems to me it would be easier and safer to produce the hydrogen with your windmill sitting in one place and filling a tank in the vehicle with it.

The reaction is controlled by injecting small amonnts of water into a pressure vessel contaning the sodimm.
