A first generation of nano powder cell activated by Dr. Stoyan Sargoytchev's (Sarg) sparker. This cell is very similar to the current working cell, containing nano nickel and hydrogen. We have removed the thermo well in the powder area and added a high voltage pass-through with a nickel electrode through the top.

Thermocouples - Omega KMQSS-020U-12

Heater Wire - Nichrome heating wire from HUG Clean room. 24 or 30 BNC.

Fiberglass insulation sleeving -

Reactor Chamber - ½” diameter SS tube. 2” section for now.

Reactor Plumbing - Everything else will be plumbed with ¼” SS tube.

Pressure Sensor - One for reactor pressure and one for vacuum. We will scavenge an Omega 0-200 psia from another reactor. We may need to use the TMD to achieve the best level of insulation. We need to get past 10-3 torr.

Valves - We will need valves, quarter turn and needle type. These will be swagelok valves that we already have.
