Eric, have you heard the expression that you can lead a horse to water but not make it drink? He would probably refuse to consider your proposal.
I am not sure that re circulating the hydrogen would make a great deal of difference to the loading since the electrolysis exerts a powerful force as it stands. It might be worth a try if the system does not get too expensive or complex to control. I keep my fingers crossed and hope for positive results.

Those sound like good choices. Ideally the components would be something you could buy at Walmart and Radio Shack for under 50 dollars each. There is a group of crazy musicians that try to make music using old 8-bit processors; the challenge here would be a similar one. If a reproducible lo-fi protocol could be worked out, someone could write to Nathan Lewis and say, "we took a look at your objections in 1989 to the calorimetry and think we might have found a way around some of the difficulties ..."
