Hydrogen would interesting to see....but being an old submariner, Ill pass. if you had a burning leak, you'd never see it (if its pure hydrogen) because it burns ultraviolet. The stuff disolves into some metals to leak out, and can spontaneously ignite when mixing with the air. Ever heard of hydrogen embrittlement...Im not sure exactly how it works, but I know it has to do with the fact that hydrogen can diffuse through metals. Some how it makes the metal become brittle and crack easily. this happens to the majority of metals from nickel to high strength steel alloys, and titanium. It also reacts violently with every oxidizing element.
not saying its impossible, but theres a reason its expensive to use and make. funny thing is its the most abundant element in the universe.
