Then you will agree that recovering the energy of the escaping H2 and O2 (recombining them one way or another) wouldn't help much because that's at most 1.5% of the full run's input energy. > Walter Faxon wrote: > >>Just for the record, as well as detecting excess hydrogen is Mizuno also >>detecting a corresponding amount of excess oxygen? > > As far as I know he does.

Indeed, if you add up what goes into the funnel it should be stoichiometric. Michel
