I wish I got to do fun little projects like this at my job. Anyway, this proof of concept shows that hydrogen would be a great alternative to propane and natural gas for cooking. Hat tip to @[email protected].

If these are serious concerns for you, I'm sure you will always be able to find plug in electric grills on the market.

I don’t think you really grasp how much pressure 10,000 psi is.

A typical car tire is like 35 psi

A propane tank for a grill is like 200 psi.

Have you ever seen a car tire burst? Or a propane tank? Big booms, they can easily hurt or kill people already.

A hydrogen tank would be 50 times more pressure than a regular tank of fuel, and 300 times more pressure than a tire. If those burst, people will die, and have their bits spread around the neighborhood.

Unfired pressure vessels are already pretty common common in industrial, commercial, healthcare, transport, and recreational settings. I am comfortable with continuing to trust the engineers as the portion of these vessels that contain hydrogen increases.
