Two people made tentative commitment today. Hoping for more  
commitments I will wait several more days. Then I will estimate the  
cost per person. My rough guess is $40 per person, if ten people make  
definite commitments. I will probably know about the most costly item,  
a sheet of CR-39, which I would order, cut, and send sections to  
individual participants. Meanwhile look chemicals, for example two  
grams of Li2SOH and 130 grams of NaOH that you can probably get from  
your chemistry lab. Also for short pieces of  Ni and Pt wires. Think  
about what to use to make a cell. A student-oriented project can  
probably obtain some financial support from your administrator.

P.S.
Perhaps your colleagues, who are not on this list, will be willing to  
participate in this cooperative project. Ask them to send me a message.

Thanks in advance,
