Hydrogen doesn't just combine with water. You have to make it implode to water. Hydrogen is an implosive gas. Nothing against you just clarifying that. And also, to make electrolysis more realistic, you would take IRON and NSCN and make the NSCN give current to the IRON, therefore creating a "negative" current. Do the same for PSCN and IRON and you would get a "positve" current. Hydrogen would come out of the Negative terminal and Oxygen would come out of the Positive terminal. SO many people have suggested this (and me). I hope it finally finds it's way into the official version.

Hydrogen already does so many different things than Oxygen. To start, Oxygen isn't much different than GAS. The only thing different really is the way it moves and the way it burns (it burns hotter than gas). Hydrogen does more than just explode. It rusts metal (or turns it into BMTL?), it (burns then) combines to make water, it can be created through electrolysis, it can.....I'm out of ideas but there are more. Am I a good lecturer or what!
1. metal would rust under pressure with H2 2. H2 is a gas explosion, extreme dangerous if mixed with GAS 3. H2 is the lightest particles known. 4. H2 can pass through certain solids, in another word, leak 5. Do not react with O2 except ignite them, burn to water
That's good. I like that. Although, surely the water would extinguish the fire in no 5?
Pyromaniac555 Then just lump in the functions of hydrogen into oxygen somehow. The issue isn't with the element being useful and unique, it's the fact that each new element in TPT needs to have some function that no other element can fill.
...Look at GLOW for example. When it was added, it didn't react with -anything-. It just glowed under pressure. That was it. The whole reason it augments photons is because the idea was in the air for an element to multiply photons passing through, which would be something like an Amber element. But having a whole new element just for the one function seemed silly, so the functionality was tacked onto Glow element for lack of a better place to put it.
