[time-nuts] Re: hydrogen rich environment and oscillators

[Bob Camp]

Hi

The MIL-STD 202 folks seemed to be quite happy with a 10% mix of He and whatever. My guess is 
that you could fill the pressure chamber with your water sourced H2 and then blow it up to 50 PSI 
with the shop compressor. 

The obvious disadvantage of any process using H2 is fire / explosion. I’m not 100% sure this is the
approach I’d want to take …..

Throw half a dozen SMD oscillators inside each one, and re-fill one tire with He and the other with H. Drive around for a day or two (or until one or both tires go flat), remove the oscillators, and measure them.
