Prof, I disagree. On part of that. Yes, I have a scar on my forehead from a battery explosion. Hydrogen in a confined space does explode.
What I am disagreeing about is that putting something explosive in a car is any more dangerous than gasoline. Gasoline has MORE, much, much more explosive power than hydrogen. Sorry, that’s a physics fact. The “scientist” is talking out his ass.
When he said it was “dangerous” he was playing on emotions (something leftists are very well known for doing). He didn’t bother to say “Gas is MORE explosive than hydrogen”
“Hydrogen in a confined space does explode.”
Only if the Hydrogen-Oxygen mixture is of the right proportions.
“Gasoline has MORE, much, much more explosive power than hydrogen. Sorry, that’s a physics fact.”
Hydrogen bomb versus Gasoline bomb?
” Gasoline has MORE, much, much more explosive power than hydrogen.”
Hydrogen 61,100 BTUs per pound versus 20,900 BTUs per pound of gasoline.
Because it isn't.
Gasoline produces far more energy than hydrogen, but it is not nearly as combustible as hydrogen. The hydrogen molecule is the very smallest, and thus it is the most explosive in a perfect mixture.
