- sithadmin 4y agoI don't think anybody is arguing that homes should run off hydrogen canisters that are clearly intended for use cases like light vehicles or perhaps a small generator, or that homes should run off hydrogen in general (though this could be useful in off-grid contexts with large supply tanks similar to the propane tanks used to supply heating and cooking gas in many rural American homes).
- vel0city 4y agoWhat do you envision they meant by "household applications" then? Every large appliance in your house has its own hydrogen fuel cell and takes these cartridges to run for a few hours, then you drive to the hydrogen store in your ultralight car that goes a couple dozen miles on a cylinder?
- chomp 4y agoIn my home in the southern US, I'd need ~13 canisters per day due to cooling needs at my current consumption. I could probably ration them and use ~5 per day in case a hurricane hits, and then I'd have about 2ish days of emergency power, but who wants to store explosive gas in their home? I've bought propane cylinders at the store and gotten leaky ones. At least propane doesn't combust unless it hits an ignition source.
