hydrogen storage for your dump load?
I think not for mine. This is the stuff I prefer to leave for the big boys to do. Mine would probable go boom in the night.

Hydrogen is a very different stuff to work with than propane, it has some nasty little habits.

Such as (but not limited to)....... burning with a flame you can't see, being able to ignite itself due to the static it can create whilst escaping, and igniting in contact with catalysts.

Don't forget metal embrittlement. The containers derate from just storing the stuff.

Personally I think vanadium redox batteries would be better on that scale.

Using steel wool for the flame to spread out with will make the flame a bit easier to see. Closing off air vents on BBQ completely helps ask the H2 to go burn under hot dogs instead of wrong place / wrong time.
