[Land-speed] Fw: Ford's Hydrogen 999 racer shooting for fuel cell land speed record > Hybrid News

Mayf,

"And as I recall, the upper and lower explosive limits for h2 are 2% and
98% in air. So inside a closed race car it can get concentrated enough
to explode, not burn. Explode."

Are you sure about that. Explosions maybe if compressed. Since you like to
think large scale (meaning you use NASA Rocket stuff to relate to a LSR
Car)(And there is no similarities there), lets use the Hindenberg as an
example, it didnt explode did it? And there was alot of it. Hydrogen has a
very low flame propogation rate. If it is compressed it will explode, but
you talked about hydrogen filing in the interier of car.
