Sandia Liquid Hydrogen Pooling Experiments: Validating Models for Safety Codes and Standards

Sandia contributes to the science of advanced hydrogen and fuel cell technologies by providing a deep, quantitative understanding and scientific basis for materials interaction with hydrogen and safety. A series of successful tests at Sandia National Laboratories collected data to validate models used for safety codes and standards, supporting efforts to assess the safety of hydrogen infrastructure. The work was supported by the US DOE Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO).

Being a retired code official, and an ISO inspector, this type of research and testing is of great importance. Hats off to all y'all who work to improve our world.

This type of stuff should be what plays on the news networks. Imagine an entire country being aware of the moves we are making for the future.

very cool.. literally.

Thanks guys.

Now all thats left is testing in space and the moon. I guess the Moon would be "easy" cause just do it in a vacuum and take away 5/6th gravity? Right? But near zero G might be cooler (pun intended). If it hasn't been done in a wile. Cool thanks for the vid and great vistas. Oh and the safety part too, I guess.

The regulations books are written in blood. More useful data is always a grand goal and I trust it will lead to better understanding of system requirements and expectations. The idea that "pure" forms of hydrogen is going to be a meaningful energy transport mechanism outside of "cooking gas" or rocketry may be considered a noble thing but it is not in the least realistic. Peaceful Skies.

Here in Oakland, we all ride in fuel cell powered busses every day.
