An exchange between two members on a Forum I participate in:
#1) - Also, in high humidity conditions, molecular level moisture adhesion is a problem.
#2) - Is that another way of saying that it gets damp?
The Forum is for high-voltage electronics and Tesla Coils in particular so high-humidity conditions are a concern as they affect total spark length. There is also a fine point being made here about the difference between Absorption and Adsorption but still…
“It got damp” is a lot clearer than “The device-under-test suffered molecular level moisture adhesion due to the prevailing high-humidity conditions.”
I know that this is not the case but it sure sounds like #1) works for the US Government in some capacity.
