UP) Usually explosive hydrogen is a good fire ex tinguisher In at least one place, a h.'iito electric conuenser under con struction by the General Electric company. This condenser runs In an atmos phere of hydrogen enclosed In a tight metal cose. Without the presence of oxygen hydrogen will not support flame of any kind, and a statement from the company says that not only ' are fires impossible, but that even short circuits cannot occur. Because hydrogen does not trans mit vibrations well, the novel atmos phere serves as good sound proofing material. Being much lighter than air. It reduces wind resistance on the J rotating parts by about JO per cent.
