I second that motion! And since only Tesco and I are there, the vote passes! You all need to drop by #se4 on gamesnet IRC network. You have no choice now!

Last time I heard, hydrogen in a confined space with oxygen is extremely explosive.

And you do get water or rather water vapour:

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

if I remember my chemistry of many years ago.

It is explosive, yes. But not really so explosive to be more worried about hydrogen than other gases and liquids running through pipes (save things like water that don't combust ).

At the least it would be a heck of a lot more expensive to repair, heh.

But not so much heat to be a great risk over other things running through pipes.

Yes, Hydrogen combines with Oxygen to make water and release heat. If you have ever held a match near gasoline you may have noticed that gasoline tends to do the same sort of thing... (making water and carbon dioxide in this case). Fyron is still correct when noting

And I am still correct in the first part of my statement. I never said that hydrogen was not explosive, just that it is not as dangerous as many people erroneously believe it to be.

ain't I clever? )

Nope!
