The previous run provides the "active" setting but it cannot be presummed that there was significant residual hydrogen in the hood
Neither can it be assumed that there was no hydrogen in the incubator. The blast effects do not indicate the energy came from within the cell.
- such as if the exhaust fan totally failed - and even if there was this is totaly unnecssary and moreover inconsistent with this kind of sudden power increase in the cell.
A high volume low energy density blast makes sense of the blast effects. The explosion and the excess heat can have separate causes and separate energy sources. There is no inconsistency between this hypothesis and the evidence given. The necessity for the hypothesis is that any hypothesis is valid until ruled out by the evidence. Occam's Razor does not apply to anecdotes of single events.
