Part 3/8:
Experimenting with Gases
As part of the innovative setup, Uran utilized various gases within the tank to observe their impact on the experimental outcomes. While hydrogen was the primary gas used due to its accessibility, Uran noted the potential applications of other gases as well, albeit not fully explored during the Vega Valley experiments.
When reviewing the initial assembly of the Vega Valley system, Grunier inquired whether the design utilized residual air. Uran explained how diverse gases contributed to the experiment, emphasizing that hydrogen had been chosen as the most effective medium.
