    Storing hydrogen is way harder than I thought it would be because you have to make sure it is safe for somebody to use it is much more technical than I thought it would be.

    you answered all my questions from September, Thank you. why don’t you let plasma the forth state of matter heat it up, if that takes too much energy you could make a circle like aria were the elections of hydrogen would want to escape from the protons of another molecule creating friction between the circle. if that doesn’t work you could use HYDROGEN 3!!!! the best hydrogen for this!!!!
