Just checked it again and it's drawing 171 uA and we still have a steady light.

Just checked it again and it's drawing 166 uA and we still have a steady light.

I set up a long term test to determine the Corrosive Effects Of Electrolytes On Magnesium with 5 different electrolytes I have successfully used with magnesium and copper. I am testing alum, rochelle salt, Epsom salt, soda wash and borax in small containers of purified water with 1/4 of a teaspoon of each along with a small piece of magnesium in each container.

What is the black (wet) / gray (dry) growth that formed on the magnesium strip with the borax solution?

I found that Magnesium Diboride (MgB2) can be synthesized from liquid infiltration of magnesium inside a granular preform of boron powders. It was called the Mg-RLI technique for MgB2 synthesis.

Could this be MgB2?

#344 is showing 921 mV. Barometer is showing 20% humidity.

#344 is showing 914 mV. Barometer is showing < 15% humidity. This barometer shows "LL" when it goes below 15%.
