      It only holds about 5kg of hydrogen and it’s in a massive thick steal tank that’s a lot difficult to puncture than a gas tank.

          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.

              As someone who works in the hydrogen space, this is something we’re always considering too. We’re very aware that hydrogen explodes, and it’s a core facet of our safety analyses.
