To sum it all up there should be an understanding that as the parameters of the debate are based on the analyst report 'hydrogen gas is very explosive' the responses all agree, and the hydrogen bomb statement is relevant. That is why after the last 'hydrogen fusion' scam there is not very many corporations that work with gases interested this time around. Each gas has a distinct percentage of what is called the upper and lower limits of flammability as well as upper and lower limits of explosiveness. C.R.Lum should get honourable mention for acetleyne because that is the gas of choice in the trades for working in metals. We also use naptha,propane, methane, butane, and carbon monoxide, we mix these gases with air or industrial grade oxygen depending on what melting point is required. We also use a variety of inert gases dependent upon what welding or cutting procedure and quality that's specified. Nitrogen is the most helpful because it is not flammable but it will explode and it is the most abundant. I'll finish by saying that steam is actually a gas, it contains both hydrogen and oxygen, steam is non-flammable but is very explosive.

P.S. Jim P. mentioned Nano fibres which deserves to be part of the topic of storage and transportation of gases.
