I was talking to a guy who installed gas plumbing in laboratories. He said Hydrogen will NEVER be used for either home or automotive cos sit is SO leaky. A 150Bar air tight seal can freely pass H. Any area they install H in - and this is with stainless steel laboratory-grade plumbing wiht annual inspections - they install ventilation cos they assume it WILL leak. He said H will be dead after a few people get blown up in their garages as the system leaks when a few years old.

@LesNewell - Im nothing like an expert. Bu this guy has like 30 years of experience with it and other gasses and he said it is THE nightmare gas. It explodes very easily and it is next to impossible to keep in pipes ESPECIALLY as you need incredibly high pressure - like 800 bar. To him the idea of it in cars on roads wiht wear and tear and salt and bumps and things being parked in a garage was literally laughable. He just said people will be blown up, even people in LABS get blown up by it...

IS IT MADE OUT OF a pair of Tesla Model S Plaid they chopped the motors and battery packs out of...??

@HydrogenFuelTechnologies - NO ITS NOT - are you stalking me you weirdo...?

@HydrogenFuelTechnologies You LITERALLY just gave 2 examples of hearsay anecdotal evidence. Thank you for confirming you ARE dumb. QUOTE "Volumetric leakage: Leakage of hydrogen from containers and pipelines is expected to be 1.3–2.8 times as large as gaseous methane leakage and approximately 4 times that of air under the same conditions" And its NOT under the same conditions its at 4 X the pressure and leakage is a not a linear equation - but even at linearity that is 16 X the volumetric leakage for a given volume of H2 compared to air. So shut the F up. "Bro"

@HydrogenFuelTechnologies - and stop using emojis - are you 6???

@HydrogenFuelTechnologies - You just admitted UHP H2 leaks. If it did NOT - why would you need to store it in Li(6)H..??? Im not saying H2 can not be stored safely, its used alla round the world now. But UHP H2 for domestic and auto applications is a joke, and a dangerous one. You have a tank in the garden and a fuel cell outside - NO PROBLEM. H2 ascends at 45mph, seriously - it shoots up and away, its super safe outside. Safer than propane. But if you use it indoors or in a car that goes in a garage - that is super dangerous cos its stoichiometric ratio is 34.3 to 1 V methane 17.2 to 1. That means you only need HALF as much of a gas that is 16 X as leaky to be an explosive mixture. Its unbelievably leaky, its low in energy density, it has to be at UHP, and its stoichiometric ratio is twice that of methane making it a nightmare gas for domestic and automotive uses.

@HydrogenFuelTechnologies - Stop with the emojis it's giving me epilepsy. I dont hate h2 I love it. I hate the current idiotic storage solutions they are suggesting that will get it a bad name and kill it. It will only take 6 home garages to spectacularly explode and that H2 over with. I do quite like the solid-state storage on film cartridge they liberate with a laser - I think that has applications. Also when we have autonomous cars performance will suddenly NOT be a thing, no one wants a pod to do 0 to 100 in 3 seconds and screech about at 130mph, so efficiency will go up dramatically and cars will plug themselves in alike a Rumba vacuum cleaner does. so I think H2 will be a commercial thing for lorries etc I think H2 has applications - but I think a lot of very scammy companies are currently involved.

@HydrogenFuelTechnologies - Well I did. Quote " Hydrogen will NEVER be used for either home or automotive cos sit is SO leaky" It can be used in commercial applications, energy storage for renewables etc, Commercial transport, trains even. I was very specifically talking about domestic cars and home use.

@lockbert99 - I was unaware of this. But the guy I was talking to quite literally was laughing at the idea of H being used by consumers. I think he said that it can leak THROUGH solid aluminium - dont quote me on that.
