I SWEAR we did this experiment in 8th grade science class back in the '80s. Same class where the teacher stood up with a tear in his eye and told us we'd all remember the day Fleischmann and Pons discovered cold fusion.

The fact that I remember doing this and it not being at all controversial leads me to believe that the explanation is a good deal more simplistic than it needs to be.
