Crash it and you have your own private Hindenburg.

AFAIK it has a 1kg tank of hydrogen. That’s not going to make much of a bang.

I don’t know enough about hydrogen to know how big of a bang that would even make.

I’ve edited my comment - it has been tested extensively and they’re not very bad at all.

Thanks, that’s actually really comforting to know. It’s not something I’ve had reason to read into. So I’m glad somebody has

I think we should make a show about our various theories about a big bang. I propose we call it The Big Bang Theory.

I’ll see myself out.

Please do, and don’t let the door hit you on the way. LOL.

I read somewhere that with the Hindinburg, the hydrogen pretty much just went straight up, while most of the deaths and burns were caused by the fuel for the engines.

What do you think gasoline does when it’s set on fire?
Show threadshortwavesurferMar 1, 2024
That’s true. Or at least when you set too much of it on fire at once. Because obviously, engines set it on fire, but in a controlled manner.

At least gasoline is not stored under immense pressure. Gasoline may burn due to a crash, but it’s unlikely to explode just from a rupture to the tank from the crash.
