    Not much our own Bob Wilson wasn't doing six years ago. :)

    Only you can't tell anymore, because all his photos are Xs now.

    I'm pretty sure Bob did not go putting absorbent gloves on his hands and fingering through plates covered with KOH electrolyte.

    But in the video, I guess that victim module was chosen for its really bad performance. Inside, it also seemed really dry.
