Makes you wonder why every eating place that serves carbonated soda does not have a tractor trailer manufacturing plant outside to make CO2. Why do people go to dive shop to have scuba tanks filled and not just buy their own compressor and take with them on the boat or to the beach. Hell why not have an air compressor that you swim with and no tank at all. And we need portable helium plants to go to fairs to fill balloons.

I don't know what reaction they were using if they were using any at all...but the Brits claim they sold them a system or two for generating H2 in about 1989.... H2 generator manufacturers claim they are safer and cheaper than using high pressure H2 cylinders.....

AMETS: Artillery Meteorological Balloons and Hydrogen Gas Re: Which reaction were they using to cook - hydrogen gas for artillery balloons? Aluminum/acid reaction: Message 19035862 Message 19017276 siliconinvestor.com ***** Re: And why the need for mobile labs to make hydrogen? This is battlefield equipment. It needs to be mobile in order to travel to the location of the artillery with which it is associated. Except on our television screens, battlefields are not static situations.
