IIYDKOflKN PRKVKNT8 FIRE
IN Kl.tX'TKIC CONDENSER
SCHENECTADY, N. Y. 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.
