Thought experiment: how close would the Hindenburg have been to missing that specific ratio?
The thing is, no matter how far you are overshooting or undershooting that ratio, as soon as you are doing both there'll be a boundary where it's matching.
- ncmncm 6y agoThe Hindenburg was blown up with a bomb. The flames in the film are kerosine. Trotting out the Hindenburg weakens your case, because no H2 lofted dirigible suffered an unassisted ignition event. The boundary, if there is any, also has to coincide with an ignition source. Furthermore, the ignited bit needs enough fuel around it to build a chain reaction. Systems will be designed to maintain positive airflow to keep concentration, in the event of a leak, below the threshold. That is engineering.
