  Hydrogen is more dangerous than gasoline if it leaks

  I’d love to see a source on that.

  This Report by the US department of energy says otherwise.

    My chemistry lab experiment. 😅

    Spicy gas go boom.

    I suppose a slow leak wouldn’t be thay bad though. A catastrophic failure from a collision would be not great.

      I was definitely in the same camp of thinking (I mean Hindenburg etc, duh). But there’s been a bunch of studies where, because hydrogen basically immediately dissappates up and away, unless you’re in an extremely cramped area it’s much safer in collisions and unexpected containment breaches.

      Even then, it actually poses less of a threat to life because it doesn’t create smoke or burn for awhile like gasoline does.
