Kerosene burns about 20% hotter in absolute temperature than hydrogen. Hydrogen's buoyancy. Since hydrogen is a deep cryogen it boils quickly and rises, due to its very low density as a gas. Even when hydrogen burns, the gaseous H 2 O that is formed has a molecular weight of only 18 AMU compared to 29.9 AMU for air, so it also rises quickly ...
The National Grid is the high-voltage electric power transmission network serving Great Britain, connecting power stations and major substations, and ensuring that electricity generated anywhere on the grid can be used to satisfy demand elsewhere. The network serves the majority of Great Britain and some of the surrounding islands.
