Nozzle port opening is extremely small to limit pressure and prevent blowout
The nozzle 37 opening 39 is made extremely small to maintain sufficient combustion pressure with minimum pressure for safety and to limit flame blowout; if hydrogen were burned directly from this small nozzle alone, the flame would be finite in diameter and its velocity likely too great to sustain a flame.
