    sweet, two very reactive elements hydrogen and oxygen are taking up
    a lot of attention from the pseudo science mainchancers.

    H is so reactive there in none in free atmosphere, 78% nitrogen and
    20% oxygen.

    I have a G size (80kg?) Oxy in my garage.
    A wonderful product to repair or make metal things.

    H is a bunch of problems.
    A Japanese ship took a load of H from Westernport (Hastings Vic) in March.
    There was a fire on the ship.
    No news if it returned for load #2.

    Trouble is H has only 1 mass object a proton, and a balancing negative charge - electron.
    Liquid point is minus 250C; absolute zero is -273.
    It leaks through steel tanks (possible cause of fuel for fire).
