One of the mysteries of the Ni/H reactor is why hydrogen works and helium and argon does not.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_gas Referencing the table on dielectric gases, helium(.1) and argon(.2) have low dielectric values relative to hydrogen. Chlorine has a better dielectric value. Will Chlorine (.85) work as well as hydrogen in the Ni/X reactor design? Experimentation might give the answer. Any opinions?
