- Note anything kills the vacuum. If there is D2 absorption then the excess O2
- kills the vacuum. If the cathode outgasses D2 then that kills the vacuum
- since there is no O2 to combine it on the catalyst.
-
- Again my measurements indicate a constant mucking around of the gas. I am very
- interested in your observations.
