Hi Corby,

On the dissociator, do you have any indications that the helix on the bulb
is, in fact, a helical resonator for the dissociator frequency?

Also, when filling the H2 tank, you might want to put the receiver tank 
into a bucket of water. It can really heat up during filling because of
the adiabatic compression of the H2.

Best,

-John
