- The question has been ask before as it applies to the Pd-D cells, but
- perhaps it is time to ask it again with a thought to the Ni-H experiments
- and the Notoya-Rothwell demo that is supposed to be so easy - i.e.
- starts first time, every time without any long preparation period.
- Spongy nickle got me thinking about very large surface to volume ratios
- and the possibility that what we have in this case in a huge electrolytic
- capacitor. I think the engineers at MIT would do well to be prepared to
- make some AC measurements on this demo or at the very least have an
- oscilloscope handy!
