[edit] Requested move

The current article is at an abbreviation and the full name, liquid hydrogen, is a redirect to it. They should be switched. -- Kjkolb 09:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Material to expand material article with

After a brief google search I found two articles that would be useful sources.

The first is on the different liquification processes: http://www.enaa.or.jp/WE-NET/ronbun/1997/e5/sanso1997.html

The other is on the significance between ortho and para hydrogen: http://www.cchem.com/opcat/index.html

Unfortunately I am short of time right now or I would incorporate the material andperhaps track down the references for the material that is already here. I am against merging this article with the Hydrogen article because I think there is enough material out there to make this a solid stand alone article. For a start, there needs to be sections for properties, history, applications, production methods, references. Badocter 05:26, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding the article:

Okay, I agree with Badoctor (above). This article could really be expanded. I propose the following categories:


History:

- Invention/discovery

- Major advances in creation

Creation/Production

Chemical Properties

Uses:

- In industry

- In vehicle propulsion:

--- Spaceflght/rocketry

--- Hydrogen cars

--- maybe its' use in fuel cells

- Others?

I'd do all this myself, but I don't know enough about it and I'm not very good at digging through pages of Google results that may or may not be relevent. In any event, if someone would be willing to start on this, I'd be glad to help out.
