[NewCandle] Guess the gas

[Nick Reiter]

Hello, all,

While I've shifted my focus somewhat over the past few
weeks to the topic of the Woodward drive(s), Sam Faile
has continued to look at hydrolysis of tight roll
aluminum foil in water.  Last week, he had another
"eruption" where for some reason yet unknown, the rate
of gas production went sky high, and enough heat was
generated to melt the plastic reactor vessel. 
However, this time, when the event occured, something
gaseous was generated in a large enough volume that it
set off Sam's apartment CO detector after maybe 10
minutes.

My hunch is that it was hydrogen wafting up to the
detector.  Sam wonders if he might have actually
generated CO via some transmutative process.  He
claims Kervran (bio-transmutation) had documented
anomalous production of CO from welding equipment,
which had afflicted welders with symptoms otherwise
inexplicable.  Sam says he had been feeling nauseous
and achy for some time, while experimenting with the
gas generators.  He has not smelled any Cl or HCl from
the salt water runs.

What it comes down to is whether or not CO detectors
(his is a Maple-Chase brand unit, less than 3 or 4
years old.) react to gases other than CO.  I found
some vague on-line references that say they do, giving
false positives for CO2 on occasion.  My hunch is that
the diffusion cell type detector probably would
respond to hydrogen (as a reducing gas).  Anybody out
there know the particulars of CO detection?

step right up and guess der gas!
