    But, but the hydrogen is suppose to safely dissipate because it is so light.

    But in bulk, it 'dissipates' strongly upward, not diffusing around evenly. So make d@mn sure there is no roof configured in a way to let it collect or pool, as it did in the containments around some overheated nuclear reactors after the big earthquake a dozen years ago.

    Hydrogen has one of the widest combustion ratios of air-to-hydrogen. Many of these ratios are explosive. So proper venting is critical to getting hydrogen away from ignition sources.

    Forgot the /s.

    What do hydrogen car manuals say about parking in a home garage?
