In a distant shot of the PAD, one can just make out what aoppears to be
some plame emerging from some chimney behind the pad. Chimney roughly
1/3 the height of the pad.
Anyone know the purpose of this ?
Could they not simply pipe excess hydrogen to some distant location and
just let it out in the air without needing to burn it ?
Or do they consider that having open flames not too far from the pad is
not dangerous at all ? |

Burn off hydrogen vented from the ET. this is common to all hydrogen
powered vehicles
