[ham] Re: [Rhodes22-list] Gas vs Liquid Battens

[Michael Meltzer]

hydrogen is highly reactive too, might corroded or change the fabrics(I sure Rodger will get on me for this, remember the hinaburge
:-) problem is pure helium is expensive and would have to way to recover it, on the other hand hydrogen is cheap and a by product of
adicd reactions, could have a generator on board. Any system will be leaky so it will need to be topped up. Could even make the
stuff with a solar panel(they doing it for fuelcells). Beside your get more lift from the hydrogen. The stuff is lighter then
air(the whole point :-) to will not crowd the deck or cabin, just need a controled blowout, like gas in the lasserret :-)
