Good find. Reading the translated comments, there are some good points. > Specifically, the hydrogen conducts heat at a much higher rate to the > quartz outer tube.

Is this understanding correct? Does this mean that the thermocouple attached to the side of the tube would be of no help here, and the delta in the water temperature is what would be important? In the video, one of the captions said: "We change the conditions of the experiment and raise blood pressure." I don't think it was that stressful. Eric
