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!

Started happening around 1 PM PST yesterday (may 29).

Fyron, if hydrogen is as safe as you say it is, I challenge you to go into a large enclosed chamber filled with hydrogen and oxygen and generate a electrical spark.

I don't think you would do it. I certainly wouldn't.

But yes, hydrogen is less dangerous if it is not in an enclose space and is not mixed with oxygen.

In fact hydrogen alone or mixed with an inert gas is no danger at all. In those conditions, I would not be concerned with generating an electrical spark. So change the conditions and hydrogen's dangerosity changes.

So, it all depends upon the conditions.

[Fyron]

You missed my point. I never said hydrogen was absolutely safe. I said it is not super dangerous as many people fallaciously believe it to be. I would not enter such a room with any explosive gas (plus oxygen) in it. 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 ).

whats up with it...

[Fyron]

No idea.
