Experiment
5 - 100mA Light
Water
Cell:
- Cathode:
3.5 cm of exposed 0.25mm Ag wire as close as possible to 1 cm x 2 cm
Landauer CR-39 chip.
- Anode:
Approximately 5 cm of 0.5 mm Pt wire with Pt screen spot welded on
end
- NO
magnets
Electrolyte:
- 30
gm H2O + 0.42 gm LiCl + 0.044 gm PdCl2
Procedure:
Etch:
- see
photos
- subsequent etch for a total of 6 hours
Results
(Started on 12.29.06 Ended on 12.31.06):
- Proceeded in a similar manner to E2.
- At the end of the run, very little debris was in the bottom of the
cell
- The debris did NOT go back into solution
- CR-39:
- Similar
pre-etch look to E2
- Plenty
of tracks - similar to E2 (with heavy water)
