Hi all

Here a small test where i try to decrease the chimney output , in order to increase the pressure in the reactor, to see if there is modification of the reaction.

I say that it seems to me that the reaction is more yellow without increased pressure

but i am not sure at all now.
Because after i have finished the video, i took some more risk and i shut down the robinet untill the pressure goes out from every leaks around the bouchon, and almost no more from the chimney. So the pressure in the reactor was probably quite high and i see no dramatic difference in the reaction. But to be verified.

After this experiment , the cathode was slightly pointed by erosion.

Hope this helps

Laurent
