After 24 hours I unshorted the cell and saw what you will see in video hg.mp4

I stirred the magnetic stirrer for a while but there was no change.

Then I increased the hydrogen flow and got the result  hg2.mp4.

That is quite a difference.

Yeah its a difference mark E.it indicates that the increased vigour of bubbling shortened the time-span of palladium resaturation.in other words there was no saturation at the Hg cathode!!! Pomodoro shouldn't jump experiments,confusing.

My highschool science teacher wouldve beaten me up if I jumped experiments like that prior to conclusion.

Not jumping at all, I just added an electrode near the merury. Nothing changed.  Want to see if the Pt changes voltage to near the Hg one. Current from the Hg is too tiny to be practical, but at least there is a large  voltage there.  I still have some hydrogen left.

You could have always written out a proposed protocol at the beginning of the tests or anytime along the way.  It's a bit late to start negotiating test protocol.
