I'm betting the hydrogen is actually a lot safer than a tank full of jet A. (not to defend using hydrogen, which in these applications seems to be a meme perpetuated by politicians/oil companies)
- hollerith 2y agoSince you are already betting, how much will you bet with me?
- thot_experiment 2y agoDefine the bet and how we're going to test it, but I'll stand by my statement. Jet A is probably worse for buildings than high pressure hydrogen in an impact.
- hollerith 2y agoJet A probably is worse for buildings, but compressed hydrogen gas seems a lot worse for the people on the plane and people near the plane when it is on the ground. Methane, ethane or propane also seems worse for the same reason, namely, they need to be at very high pressures for the tank to be small enough to be economical on an airplane.
