if you put hydrogen into a thin skinned container, and release the container into an oxygen rich atmosphere, it will float. if you put a burning match to that hydrogen, it will burst into intense flames.

if you mix one part hydrogen with two parts oxygen inside a thin membrane, you might have a water balloon. if you disperse its contents in the atmosphere, it will probably fall to the ground as rain. you can drink it. it is impossible to light on fire.

sometimes innovation is not an option.
