Big bang if you pour some into a barrel with leaves in it and toss a match from about 3 feet away....

“So does gasoline..................”

Only gasoline vapor. We use it as a liquid.

Hydrogen is a gas at any human temp and can nearly instantly mix with oxygen.

But true, gasoline vapors can make an even bigger bang.

The flash point of hydrogen is extremely wide. This makes it very unstable. It’s small molecular size means it is also very hard to store without leaks, and it’s high ionic charge makes it spreads rapidly. In addition it’s range of air fuel ratios that support combustion is unusually large. All in all a veery dangerous gas.

Hydrogen tanks are an accident waiting to happen.
