Alex, any thoughts on using a piezo unit to vibrate the cell to dislodge water droplets? Would existing sensors cope with vibration like that?

It is not necessary if the sensors are simply put in the right orientation. K.I.S.S.
Interesting little fact: piezos do not work in helium. I do not know the physics, but every piezo device we have ever tested, fails when subject to helium under pressure.

Personally, I didn't notice any increase in WOB. I did notice less moisture, although there is still some. However I put them scrim in relatively early in my Rebreather career (around 25 hours) so I don't have that good a baseline.
Lungs are really bad at measuring WOB. Worth doing something to measure the breathing resistance on a machine. We have been surprised on quite a few occasions, just how simple changes cause big effects.
