[TheForge] Hydrogen storage (was: Hellooooooo!)

[Chris Kilpatrick]

Does anyone remember those rocket packs from the 70's?  I thought, but could be wrong, that they used hydrogen peroxide and platinum to dissassociate the H2O2 into H2 and O2,  the increase in volume was what caused those things to have lift.  Just a thought.

It is I who formed the blacksmith, 
who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
