Looks nice. How fast did the D2 penatrate the foil? how thin was the foil?

sorry for delay Andrew - I only get on at week ends now. Foil was hot rolled down from a 0.1 mm foil to about 0.005 and Indium soldered on to a SS ring washer then sealed in the plastic tube, but it took forever for the D2 to permeate the foil at 1 bar - the D2O had a bit of Sodium added and was electrolyzed at atmosphere. It would be better with the foil hot and the pressure higher - but how? This was a high school project and on a very small budget.

I upgraded this superb thread to a "FAQ".
Now a Simple search of "FAQ" in "titles" only within this forum will bring up this prime discussion on heavy water electrolysis.
