ROFL!!!

From your link:

Hydrogen boil-offs in shipping. When you have a gas stored as a liquid by keeping it cold at reasonable temperatures, the cryogenic liquid turns into gas with any heat coming in. With ammonia and LNG, you can run compression and cooling equipment and return it, as they are liquids at much higher temperatures than hydrogen with its 24° Kelvin boiling point. The way to deal with this is to create the biggest, spherical, vacuum-insulated tanks possible, but even so, the boil-off rate is 0.2% per day. Shipping hydrogen tanks ones are likely to be worse because they can’t be as big. At the scale of trucks, the surface area to volume ratio leads to 1% losses per day.

I actually work with this kind of stuff, boy. Don't try to BS me. You're babbling about giant "storage" tanks ... I'm telling you what actually happens down at the user level. And your link even agrees with me. Funny ... Don't like it? That's your problem, not mine.

Worse, that 0.2%/day boil-off rate you're bragging about (even if it's real, which is dubious) is still infinitely greater than the boil-off loss rate of liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Your link again agrees with me.

I bet you didn't expect me to read your link, didja?

I'm done with you, loser. You may have the last word if you like.

0.2%.

No, your first explicitly referred to STORAGE.


“And to store enough of it to do useful things, it must be stored a high pressures.”

So 0.2% per the link is OK by you?

No BS. Just facts. Facts you have not refuted.

I am still looking for comments about metal hydrides.
