STATE COLLEGE, Pa, March 90
Prof. W. R. Ham, head of the De-
partment of Physics of the Pennsyl-
vania State College, has constructed
q nerve" made of hydrogen gas which
can feel and indicate the changes that
take place in the interior of pure iron.
The nerve" is a nickel tube. In it
IS piece of pure iron about the size
and shape of a penny. 1t is welded
to the walls of the tube, so that hydro
gen entering one end of the tube can
not pass out the other without first
passing through the iron.
One side of the iron disc is exposed
10 hydrogen. On the other a high
vacuum is formed in the tube by a
series of pumps. This is the measur-
ing side of the nerve.
Hydrogen Penetrates Iron.
The hydrogen gas will pass through
the iron. 1t will pass through at vir-
tuauy all temperatures. At room tenn
perature little hydrogen takes several
days to percolate through the iron
The passage of the gas speeds up as
the temperature of the iron is raised.
But the speed of flow does not rise
uniformly. At several temperatures
the speed takes jump. At one tenn
perature it abruptly slows down.
These changes all take place at tenn
peratures where something important
is occurring inside the iron. These
ARE transition temperatures which
have been shown by magnetism, cleo
trical, mechanical and optical meth
ods. The hydrogen nerve not only
feels all these known changes, but in
