That said, the detonation speed of perfectly mixed hydrogen / air is amazing. If you fill a weather balloon with a mix - get ready for a loud bang. Not good for your hearing (even a small balloon)

- SiVal 5y agoSure. Imagine a perfect mix of jet fuel and air in a weather balloon. Or metal shavings. Or a perfect mixture of wheat and air in a silo. BANG! Now imagine a metal aircraft full of fuel with a cargo of wheat--if you dare. Oh the humanity!
- slownews45 5y agoHydrogen leaks into confined spaces have done the boom thing. My impression is wavefront speed may be supersonic or somehow drive a lot of intensity (not my area) Wheat is scary in a silo, but in a 50 lb bag not so much. I liked the cell engineering idea with hydrogen - not sure of weight / etc tradeoffs.
