And they want to use hydrogen to power big trucks.
But I see that use as very practical to our environment. Hydrogen, like other renewable energies such as wind and solar, are free and do not require other contaminating energy sources to create it. /s/
Easy. You just get a divider device and fill your tank with H2O and the divider device pulls the H2 out and you just got some O left.
Hydrogen was cheap to produce and helium was very expensive.
The original design called for using helium. At the time the world’s helium supply was owned by the United States. The U.S. Navy had control of all helium in the U.S for it’s own dirigible program.
I bet they will Light up the Sky.
The Hindenburg also wrapped its hydrogen up in fabric painted with what amounted to gunpowder (nitrocellose dope). The argument can be made that, in some ways, hydrogen is less dangerous than petroleum. Hydrogen flames go up fast and it doesn’t stick to things and burn. The same can’t be said of gasoline or diesel fuel.
