Pete, how much would a dewar that would hold the equivalent of a tank of gas weigh? Then you want to add in a refrigeration system? Do you know what it takes to run a refrigeration system down to 19K? That's totally aside from glossing over the cryogenic fluid transfer with a wave of the hand. A single rock in the condenser of an auto AC system running propane/butane would cause the mixture to leak out and dissipate; it would take a highly improbable circumstance for it ever to reach a combustible concentration. I think it's dubious to talk casually about venting and igniting H2 gas and then turn around and claim that a couple pounds of propane/butane in an AC system can be made to go "boom" easily. Cheers, Dan.
