      The coolest thing was an assembly of gears I printed which could be printed all in one go. I don’t know how you could build it another way if you didn’t use 3D printing.

      A catalyst is a material which makes a reaction go faster. I was making an aluminum catalyst for a hydrogen generation reaction. We wanted to get the most hydrogen as quickly as possible because we wanted to see if it could be used for powering electric cars.
