[NewCandle] Joe Cell meets Anode Glow meets David Hudson

[Nick Reiter]

Heyyo, Keith,

>From what I understand, there is a very slight amount
of bubbling during glow discharge - very fine bubbles
typical of what we had seen in some combinations
during the anode glow experiments a few months ago. 
When the power is turned off (and he is using AC with
a ballast lamp, by the way) the bubbling increases,
and the bubbles become much larger and more vigorous -
as if boiling from the foil.  It eventually slows up
and diminishes, but when checked, the foil seems
untouched and intact.

The Mg deposition and dissolving cycle seems
reasonable.  If only it was easy (and advisable!) to
get an honest assay on commercial spring waters.  It's
times like this when I most acutely miss my old access
to quick EDS analysis!

I guess I will know more when I give it a whirl
myself.

Thanks for the notions, as always.
