[snip] Nuclear reactors create a blue glow in the water when in operation. As I suggested many years ago on Vortex, this might also appear around active cathodes in working CF experiments, particularly if viewed at night with eyes that were dark accustomed. At the time Jed (I think) said that this had already been done, but that nothing was seen. Perhaps now with more reliable cells, it's time to try again?
