Increasing your water heater temperature by just 10ÂºF from 130ÂºF to 140ÂºF may increase heat loss resulting in a larger electric bill from $30 to $75 dollars annually. Setting the temperature to 140ÂºF can also increase demand losses resulting in an annual expense of up to $500 dollars.

Palladium is a remarkable metal, not least because it will absorb over 900 times its volume of hydrogen gas. The hydrogen is released again when the metal is heated, so this can be a rather cunning way of weighing hydrogen. And because palladium won't absorb any other gas, you can use this property to purify hydrogen.
