Re: Farmers launching hydrogen?
said by antwanp  :A hydrogen balloon igniting that high up would burn up so fast that it wouldn't be of any danger to people on the ground. I was thinking more about the farmer pre-release, or the ballon that eventually returns to the ground with at least some hydrogen (but not enough to overcome the weight of the baloon).
When I was 8 years old me and some friends created some hydrogen using two anodes in a glass of water. We created enough to inflate a small (toy) balloon a small amount. We went out in the school yard and stood in a circle flicking matches at it. All I remember is all of us standing there, stunned, spitting debris out of our mouths.
