A number of hydrogen's properties make it safer to handle and use than the fuels commonly used today. For example, hydrogen is non-toxic. In addition, because hydrogen is much lighter than air, it dissipates rapidly when it is released, allowing for relatively rapid dispersal of the fuel in case of a leak. The safety precautions for hydrogen. Mixtures of hydrogen and air can be highly explosive. Never smoke near a place where hydrogen is generated or being used. Remove all possible sources of flame and sparks. Hydrogen should only be generated and used in a well ventilated out door area. Hydrogen used in the fuel cells is a very flammable gas and can cause fires and explosions if it is not handled properly. Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. General Precautions When Handling Hydrogen Gas Avoid cracking hydrogen cylinder valves to remove dust or dirt from fittings as this practice (though acceptable for other gases) could result to self-ignition. Hydrogen gas cylinders must be secured in an upright position to avoid being knocked over. Hydrogen gas (H2) is composed of two hydrogen atoms stuck together, each containing just one proton and one electron. This simple chemical structure is what makes hydrogen gas flammable and relatively easy to ignite. This is also why hydrogen gas is non-toxic, odorless, tasteless, and light. Generally acceptable materials include austenitic stainless steels, aluminum alloys, copper, and copper alloys. Nickel and most nickel alloys should not be used since they are subject to severe hydrogen embrittlement. Gray, ductile, and malleable cast irons should not be used for hydrogen service. The main hazard of hydrogen gas: Hydrogen is a colorless gas with no odor. It is not toxic; the immediate health hazard is that it may cause thermal burns. It is flammable and may form mixtures with air that are flammable or explosive. Hydrogen may react violently if combined with oxidizers, such as air, oxygen, and halogens. Extremely flammable gas. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion.

that is applicable in large industrial scale, thats why the creator said you should not use other material but metal since metal can easily be grounded. Thanks to this info sir!

Good job
metal tubing? fuck my hydrogen car experiment just got more expensive.
that is applicable in large industrial scale, thats why the creator said you should not use other material but metal since metal can easily be grounded. Thanks to this info sir!
why can't i use rubber hoses and tubing? thats what cars use for air
