There is nothing special about hydrogen as compared with other combustible gases (well aside from the fact that it is completely clean burning and produces no CO2, CO, etc., but that is an entirely different issue ).

No Fyron, you are are missing my point. No explosive substance is safe. And to imply that it is somewhat safe, is being irresponsible.

Tbontob, then you did not get my point. I never said hydrogen was safe, I always said it was not any more dangerous than other explosive gases/liquids.

Hey!!! Pull my finger ...I will let you decide if it is dangerous or not

[tbontob]

No Fyron, what you did say and I quote:

"Oh no, it will release hydrogen and water will form! Not that! Hydrogen is nowhere near as dangerous as people make it out to be. The Hindenburg and other dirigibles created a very bad impression in the public's eye about hydrogen power..."

There is no mention of other gases. That came later when you tried to shift the topic to make it appear you were right.

Ever heard of the term hyperbole? Overstatement/exaggeration for effect?

I did not ever attempt to shift the topic, I went along with the flow of conversation.
