There was none as I did not leave any gas space.

.mustve burned.I'm also beginning to think that direct exposure of the palladium to H2 is important for rapid voltage climb.certainly from perspective of rate-limited diffusion but we'l see with this new test.

Got the graphite going over the weekend. Check out the current, 400 uA for 10 mins , is it really oxygen seeping in? It is dropping slowly .Kicks butt compared to the silver. Let's see what it looks like in 2 days.

The graphite setup is highly likely to fail for two reasons:1) air will undoubtedly creep straight through pores if it is a dewaxed rod.2)air will likely creep through side pores if it is a waxed rod. Wax will also saponify with KOH and may or may not cause problems at the anode.all graphite rods have to be dewaxed on a hotplate,wholly immersed in container with lead wire attatched.only the wire may emerge.

Pomodoro,image number 20140724102633 is a discharging H2/Ag2O cell am I correct.look how limiting the diffusion of H2 gas through electrolyte is on a normal galvanic cell!! A few microamps, my god.
