Alan, This is interesting, and we should encourage Chuck to replicate his finding in the modern context - using Celani's experiment as a guide, and with datalogging. It is too simple not to pursue, but anyone trying it should be aware that graphite electrodes will produce excess heat on their own

I saw your post of that old email, and was kind of embarrassed to see I left out a few details, like my reasoning for Ni and Borax. At the time, I knew Ni to be a good catalyst for some hydrogen reactions, an could absorb good amounts of H into the lattice. Borax is used as a flux for
