The German group I'm thinking of (there was more than one group in Germany) loaded a slab of palladium and set it on a block of wood and burned a black mark into the wood, making the point that palladium can get quite hot when the hydrogen escapes from it. > I found Lewis convincing.

One could study them and learn a lot about electrochemistry and calorimetry. Eric
