I think this is covered pretty well under the alliance and resources pages - It does not need to be covered here as well. Resources are not a currency -  they can simply be donated to an alliance INSTEAD of currency. When donated, they convert to silver... which can then be spent on research. At no point do you actually have a chance to "spend" a Storm's Red Cape.
