CS>Shock me again baby
Hi Dean and list, Be careful now,we like you around. Had a problem once at Naval Station in Memphis Tenn. Built a new Technical training complex for Aviation Electronics schools.First class of students were getting shocked all over the place. Seems the wiring all over the place was wrong. We staff people said we could fix it right,but they forced the contractors to do it. They couldn`t fix it after three weeks. So the local SeaBee Reserve Unit was activated to do it. After a week they did ask us to help, week later all was well.:-) Seems the main power coming down the road was a old WW2 four phase system which was then ran into a new three phase Delta-Y system thru a polygon tranformer substation. We staff did all the phasing and wire IDing and the CB`s did the wiring. Did the whole complex in one week and had classes going again. Seems I have digressed here,back to Deans house.I will tell you what I`ve done in the past and you can do it if you want to. Take the cover off of you power panel and connect a long wire (so it will reach where ever you want it to) to the neutral buss and get the end of it into your kitchen. This wire is your house ground. Measure from it to your sink,should be zero volts(have seen hot sinks because of disposal problems). Next measure from the house ground wire (the one you brought to the kitchen)to your wall receptical to the round ground hole, should be zero volts. Next measure to the longer of the two slots, (its a system ground) should be zero volts. Next measure to the shorter of the two slots. Should be 115 to 120 volts. If all of this is good, problem is not the house wiring. Read from short slot to sink,should read line volts(115 to 120). Read long slot to sink, should be zero. Now plug in the distiller, leave top off (don`t plug it in),don`t push in the power switch (don`t want it on yet).Read from the neutral wire you brought into the kitchen to the pot,should be zero volts (maybe a few millivolts with a digital meter).If its not zero volts there is a problem in the distiller. The distiller has a nut on the bottom (just one nut).UNPLUG the distiller and remove the nut. This will let you take it apart. Check for any water inside the wiring. If its wet dry it with a hair drier. Make sure its dry where the heater wires are. After its dry and no wires are pinched put it back together. TEST from the neutral wire to the pot again (has to be plugged in). If its not zero volts,take it in for service. Hope this helps some. :-) Bless you Bob Lee -- oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast l...@fbtc.net -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

We always put CS in their water. Also put CS in the dogs water. If we put out two buckets of water ,one with CS, he will always drink from the one with CS until it runs out before drinking from the other one. Also spray CS on animal wounds and on ourselfs too. Keep a spray bottle in the kitchen just to spray small cuts and scratchs and burns. Accidents do happen, kids always into something. Also spray on insect bites and stings.

CS>Re: Amber color,Repost: Advanced CS or Holy CS Batman]
Hi Whitney and listers, The color is straight forward physics. Twenty seven volt systems (gradient at electrodes) remove two electrons from the silver atom. Flocculation will produce the amber (yellow) color.Here is a repost FYI. Bless you Bob Lee -- oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast l...@fbtc.net --- Begin Message --- Greetings transmuters of silver into electuary medicament, Could have just said hello,no fun in that. Anyway, some new stuff to talk about. Some months back was thinking how to keep the CS clear while making it. Clear being used to mean no turbidity. That means totally transparent or perspicuous(nothing visible). Clear is not a correct term to use since you can have clear eyes, a clear road,etc. .So in attempts to make CS with no turbidity did a series of experiments on *Current Density*. After doing a lot of tests and constructing Current Density Tables have found that if the wetted electrode current is kept below 0.0107ma per mm2 (10.7ua per mm2) that the CS stays clear and no Floculation takes place until after power is removed. This equates to a true solution or particles under 1 mu (10-6 mm). mu=millimicron ma=milliamp ua= microamp mm=millimeter mm2=millimeter squared This means that single atoms have been removed. These single atoms will begin to floculate after power is removed into larger groups of atoms or small molecules,all of which can PASS INTO cells and attack viruses,viroids and prions. Normal large particle CS will attack bacteria which are outside of cells, but can not get into the cell. Remember that bacteria are outside cells and viruses,viroids and prions are inside cells. In order to further enhance the potentiality of the CS ran a series of experiments to explore the capability of removing one or two or three electrons from the silver atom. This I could do with the *starved electrode* technic. In was found that with only one electron removed the CS would become pale rose pink (red)(6470A,647mu) when floculating with only slight turbidity. With two electrons removed the CS would become yellow (5780A,578mu)when floculating and only slight turbidity. With three electrons removed the CS would become violet (lavender)(4050A,405mu) when floculating with only slight turbidity. A= angstroms mu= millimicrons mv=millivolt With the *starved electrode* the CS becomes very ionicly active with typical readings of 30 to 50 mv at the electrodes with no power applied after making the CS. One run was stopped at 6ppm and WITHOUT power applied the ppm continued to rise to 14ppm over a period of several days. The mv potential at the electrodes slowly went down as the ppm went up. This is really active stuff and opens up new avenues of thought and more tests to make.

RE: CS>WARNING: Shock Hazard, Sears Distiller
Bill: I have done a few more measurements on my Sears distiller. The resistance from both sides of the plug to the metal cannister is greater than 30 megohms (as high as my unit measures). With the unit plugged in (not in water, give me a break :>)) I read 50 volts ac between the cannister and ground (same readings with sink as ground and with ground wire in ac plug as ground). If I turn the ac plug around I only read 5 volts ac to ground. I just checked the wall socket and have 120 volts ac from one connector to ground and about 7 millivolts from the other side to ground. So I think that is normal. I don't have any idea where I am getting the 50 volts. If the heating element is grounded at 50/120 of the way from one end, then turning the plug around should make the reading 70 volts. But it doesn't. They didn't teach me this at A&M in EE 101.

In early posting I said I never let any thing touch or get into the pot ,only water and my stainless steel cleaning pad. Also dry it well before putting it away. Never had a smell or taste problem. Would suggest puting a pinch of baking soda in the water before distilling to help the taste. The baking soda will be left behind when done distilling. Always let it cool down before cleaning,just use tap water and the stainless pad. I never would use any organic substance for cleaning( lemon,apple,vineagar). :-) bless you Bob Lee -- oozing on the muggy shore of the gulf coast l...@fbtc.net -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

The SafeWaterSystem is nothing more than a water heater. We don`t *pasteurize* water. Your home water heater is as hot (160-170F) as their product. Pasteurizing is for dairy products (milk,cream,butter,yogert,cheese) and brewing products (beer, wine,etc.) Pasteurizing selectively kills some microorganisms and promotes others,it does not sterilize or remove undesirable things. As Mike D. indicated, the solar still plans are available from me at cost. Easy to make yourself with ordinary things from the lumber yard and hardware store.Minimal skill needed to make the solar still.

The kind of testing you'd have to do to analyze this is quite specialized, and somewhat costly. But I'm pretty sure that *no* metallic surface is going to remain "clean", ie. free from adsorbed or chemically bonded contaminants, for more than a few milliseconds in water, no matter how pure. So the easy answer to your question is, yes, the particles are not just metallic silver. We don't really know what's on the surface, or how it's bonded, but you can be sure it's there. The good news, though, is we know it works. Also, there is decent indication that it is readily excreted (if made right) so we haven't heard of any cases of toxicity from the kinds of preparations we're making. Be well, Mike D.

Has that possibility been ruled out? Has anyone had a lab > test some CS for elemental purity? I can't quote any sources for reference, but I expect that, with a good grade of pure distilled water, what we're ending up with is mostly pure charged ionic silver particles. If you bring your water to boiling before starting the CS generating process, disolved gasses are minimized (driven off) to an insignificant level. How you store the product AFTER you're done may be more important. A sealed container with no air included, kept completely away from any light, should have the longest 'shelf life' for our purposes. I still think making smaller batches every 3 to 4 weeks, or more often as used, is a good approach. > > >; in my understanding, it's the surface of the > >anode itself that is subject to oxidation during the CS DC generating > >process- not the free particles in suspension. > > So you're saying that the black coating on the anode is silver oxide, but > none of that gets into the water if we don't jiggle it too much?

I've also let a batch 'overcook' and have ended up with the same thing. It's very usable for topical purposes, but I tend to prefer a batch stopped while it's still clear, for injestion. I'm exchanging some info with another designer on current limiting in a (more elaborate) CS generator design, so that the current levels start higher, but are not allowed to ever get too high. Automatic cuttoff at a desired settable PPM level is another feature I intend to implement at some time for a 'production system', but for casual personal use, I believe it's good to let people know that it does not take a fancy high dollar device to make good effective CS.

We have a Pine Martin in our woods and it is nasty. One day our cat came home and had a very nasty bite out of his hind quarter. Now it would have done no good to take him to the Vet, it was much too large to be stitched up. I got out the CS and sprayed it directly on the wound. He sure didn't like that, but then began to lick at it. He just laid there on the kitchen floor for a day and a half. In fact he was so weak that he ended up defecating on himself and I cleaned the area under him with Clorox and water and tried to make him comfortable. I continued to put the CS on the wound for another three weeks. I am happy to say that it is now gone and his fur has grown back. He walks with a slight limp, as the wound was so deep and large that it destroyed some of the muscle. But he is still here and doing well.
