why does it need to be compressed if your production facilities are right there next to you A balloon is made from stretchy material. When a gas enters the balloon it must have more pressure than the surrounding atmosphere to inflate it. If you are asking why it would be stored in cylinders, that is for convienience. The production of hydrogen from an acid/metal reaction produces heat, and so needs to be conducted at a controlled pace so as to not overheat the tanks (there is evidence that one tank in Iraq had to be replaced because of too fast a reaction). This is related to the next question: you mean like storing the compressed gas rather than producing it all the time? Why do you need a mobile production facilities again? Again, the facility is mobile so it can follow the artillary. I wouldn't expect these trailers to be on the road all the time, but they would move when groups of artillary are moved. Enough gas is stored to supply the need during the immediate battle, but there is not enough gas to supply an entire campaign. It would be too dangerous to keep large tanks of hydrogen in a war zone. That is why it needs to be replenished with new reactions periodicly. The U.S. and Britain both have similar mobil units to produce hydrogen from chemical reactions. ( I think the U.S. units are mounted on trucks, not trailers). The U.S. in particular has most of the worlds supply of helium, which is much safer, but keeps the hydrogen equipment because it is easier to transport the chemicals to produce hydrogen when needed than to tow around large pressurized tanks of gas.
