Re: CS>The Blue Man (Agryria) - Any Comments?

2007-12-21 Thread wordsjunkie
I've been following this thread closely since the first email. And I can't
stand it. I just have to add my .02 worth.

You know the only thing I really regret about the situation is the bad
publicity. The man is an adult. No one forced the stuff down his throat.
Personal responsibility has to come in here on this subject somewhere.

When you're dosing yourself, it's your responsibility to do the research and
find out what's what, and keep up with the news and advancements, or enquire
from a reputable source. I am extremely cautious when trying something new.
Herbs and and supplements and other alternative health care methods are just
as powerful as any drug that the doctor prescribes and aren't to be played
with.

The problem with most people is that they're used to going to a doctor and
popping a pill for just about everything. But it doesn't cure the root
problem, it just alleviates the symptoms.

Sometimes herbs and things take a while longer to show apparent results,
and people in this instant gratification age have no patience. They want
results and they want them right now.

Take Glucosamin and Chondroitin for example. I KNOW it works (for me anyway)
but it took about two months for me to really tell a difference, other
people have used for only a week or so and could tell a difference in pain
levels. The response time is depends on the individual. People can go to the
doctor and get a pain pill that knocks out the pain right away, sure, but
they continue to wear down the joints. I am so sensitive to pain meds that
something as mild as the very lowest dosage Tylenol 3 or loricet conks me
out for up to 14 hrs.

I know Kava works. I used it for years to ease back spasms. I never had a
problem with my liver or anything else.  I have to buy it online now because
of stupidity. Valerian and some of the other things just don't work as well
for me as the Kava does.  St John's wort works wonderfully well for me in
conjunction with Kava for inflammation. MSM works great for me.

If you drink a lot of alcohol there are a lot of things you shouldn't take
prescribed or alternative. The liver is the main detox system for the body
and many many drugs are filtered primarily by the liver. If your liver is
already taxed because you drink alcohol every blasted day, then you're going
to have problems. Same for the kidneys. There are SOME drugs that are
filtered mainly by the kidneys.

I can't fathom anyone, taking anything without knowing what it is, and how
it works, and just what it does to their body. I don't trust ANYONE enough
to just take something without looking at it very closely first.

I Know some other supplements and herbs that work also because they worked
for me, BUT I have never just taken things willy nilly. I have the utmost
respect for plants and supplements because that is where modern medicines
originated. Well except the synthetic drugs, and they used nature as a
template for those too, otherwise they wouldn't work at all. And even now
they have problems with them because they've changed the molecular
structure, and the human body has trouble with strangely configured
molecules(Just look at Trans fats).  I believe that plants evolved along
with animals and people and we can find a plant for just about anything.
There are even cancer drugs now that originated from plants.

People are so used to NOT taking responsibility for themselves and the Nanny
government doesn't help.  This started when all the danged lawyers started
suing for stupid stuff, like the lady and the McDonald's coffee. Come on
now, how much common sense does it take to know that coffee is hot, and you
need to be careful with it?

How much common sense does it take to know that whatever you take, it's
going to affect you one way or another?  The schools don't help either. They
don't teach kids to think for themselves. I home schooled my kids. Not
because of religion but because of the shape the schools are in. My kids can
think for themselves. I taught them to. It IS a skill that can be taught.

You can teach people to stop and think about things before they run off to
do things. I taught my kids to think about things from different angles and
weigh pros and cons and think about consequences BEFORE they do things. To
this day they'll say I'm thinking about this or that, but I'm not sure yet
if I should because of this or that, and I have to find out this or that
first.

I don't give out advice anymore either except for just a a few individuals
that I know will do their own research and try it cautiously.

So it wouldn't surprise me at all if Nanny government steps in once again
and overrides our rights to tell us we can't take CS or make it because
we're too stupid to do it for ourselves. And THAT makes me really angry
because they'll do something because a man turns blue but he isn't dead. But
they put fluoride in water, they chlorinate water everywhere, they let let
aspartame be sold, and Trans fats. That's not all but you get my p

Last time I dead shorted something was maybe 15 years ago when I was 
installing a new elec box behind my stove. That was a stupid thing to do 
too. Then I kept on resetting the circuit breaker until I broke that!  I 
finally called the electrician to come out and tell me where I went 
wrong (and I don't mean in my childhood). Sometimes my brain just goes 
on vacation, I have no excuse.


I replaced the fuse and my meter works again. That's good- I guess I 
quit while I was not too far behind, I didn't fry the whole unit.  I am 
glad I asked.


The wall wart says it is a class 2 power supply, input 120V AC 60hz 20 
w, output 24V DC 500mA. I did not realize there was a difference in 
those small units used to power all kinds of gadgets around the house. I 
have not looked at them closely. I thought transformers were more for 
high voltage applications, like neon signage and such. I do have one of 
those too, but they scare me.


My regular 3 battery setup works fine. I was trying to see where to set 
the potentiometer to keep the current controlled with an AC to DC power 
supply.  I just looked at my meter, and it says right on it the max for 
that setting is 400mA.  Darn it.  If I hook it up to the other lead, it 
will measure up to 10A, so I guess that is the way to go, then when I 
get the pot. set, so the current is low, maybe then I can move the lead 
to the other side.

Morning Marshall,

Maybe you can tell me what I am missing or what I do not understand.

The only reason one measures the current is that he wants
to know the current flow in a specific circuit,

A finite circuit at a specific time and condition.
It may be a changing circuit, possibly a CS batch.

If one starts adding components such as a resistor, no matter the 
size, he has changed the circuit, and the reading will be meaningless.
It is not meaningless, and can usually be determined, but is often 
insignificant.  For instance if one has a CS system which has a 10 K 
resistor in series with 30 volts to provide a 3 mA current limit, and 
you put a 1 ohm resistor in series to measure the current, it will drop 
no more than 3 mV.  That is insignificant to the circuit, and the 10,001 
ohms will be in error by 1/100 of what a 1% resistor tolerance is.


The ratio of the change could be somewhat specific, but in most cases 
it will not be. ( actually unknown )


This would be determined by the ratio of the resistance added to the 
ratio of the original circuit.
Once again, if you are using a sufficiently low value resistor, the 
difference is insignificant.


Just because someone made a mistake and connected the meter wrong, is 
no need to think they could not still do it correctly.
Well, first I am not sure she was connecting it wrong, since I am not 
sure what she was trying to accomplish.  Was she trying to measure the 
short circuit current of the power supply? If so the connection was 
right, but the sequence of applying power, and/or selection of range was 
wrong.  If she was wanting to measure the current through a CS cell, 
then the connection was wrong. But if connected right, could have the 
same effect, if the wires in the cell were accidentally shorted together 
unless she is using a limiting resistor. Using a small shunt resistor 
and the meter on volts is less likely to cause a failure in the meter 
than measuring mA current if something does go wrong.


I hate to see people advising beginners with makeshift methods, half 
truths, and encouraging them to

wish, hope and pray, and go around in circles.

Then one year later,  or two years  later, they will still be confused 
and not understand  1 , 1, 1

One Volt, One Ohm, and One AMP.


Lets see, what it V = I*R, I = V/R or R= V/I?  Just kidding.
If they cannot understand that, when it is explained, or study it a 
few minutes, then they should Abandon Ship, ASAP.


The only reason I can see to use a known resistor with a current meter 
is to test the meter to see if it works.
No, you use a known resistor with a voltage meter.  Stay away from the 
current meter selection entirely, the voltage input is much more 
overload tolerant than the current input.


Any one of us could make a simple drawing, or a picture or two showing 
how to connect a volt meter or a current meter.


Likely 10,000 exist on the internet.

Once when installing a production line automation  system I built, one 
of my men connected a transformer backwards to
480 VAC.  When he used the meter, it was destroyed, not beyond repair, 
but beyond recognition.  He was lucky that he did not loose a finger 
or two, or more.


Yep, I evaporated the entire shaft of a screwdriver once when I 
accidentally got it across the terminals of a car battery.  For a while 
I thought I was going to be both blind AND deaf.  My sight came back, 
but my ears still ring.
We all know, the higher the voltage, the less forgiving it actually 
is, to equipment and to humans.


Maybe I missed the whole point about using the resistor.

Maybe.

Some are transformers, putting out 24 or so volts AC, but most have a

2007-12-21 Thread Dan Nave
Actually, my experiments show that you can get pretty 
repeatable ppms in tap water if you monitor the current and 
use the Faraday calculations the first time.  The brew time 
will be very short compared to using distilled water and 
current control at 1ma.  (On the order of 1 to 5 minutes in 
a glass of water, if I remember correctly.)  Conduction 
rates will not "run away" because the initial conduction is 
very high and won't appreciably increase before you get the 
appropriate amount of silver into the water.  Still, you 
will get silver compounds, I expect.  And if you don't 
measure and calculate first, you could get extreme amounts 
of silver in your product.


Many people are very naive.  And some don't wish to think 
clearly about anything, so they will get themselves into 
trouble, one way or another.

The trouble with using a '3-nines' system with tap water is not just  
that the you have a bunch of impurites. The problem is that the much 
higher electrical conductivity of the water means that thousands of 
times more silver gets dissolved into the water in a matter of minutes 
than would  happen if you were running  a 'current controlled' generator

Once the silver particles are in the skin, then they can grow, even 
from EIS. That is why it is essential to NEVER take silver compounds 
which can cause the seeds to form in the skin in the first place.  
You want the ionic part to eventually plate out on the colloidal 
component of the CS in the blood stream, not on particles stuck in 
the skin.



Marshall,
This is very interesting. By what mechanism do the ionic particles 
attach to the particles that are stuck in the skin?

The photographic development process.


And, can I infer by your above statement that if an externally 
ingested silver solution were completely colloidal (rather than 
completely ionic, or a combination of ionic and colloidal), it would 
NOT attach to the particles stuck in the skin?
That is correct, only silver compounds plate out on particles.  See: 
http://silver-lightning.com/theory.html#Compounds


*What happens when you take silver compounds.*

A silver compound will typically become silver chloride as soon as it 
hits the stomach. The silver chloride is sparingly soluble, about .8 
ppm. The dissolved silver chloride will move into the blood stream and 
once there will be exposed to chemicals that will induce the silver to 
plate out on any other silver particles present. However initially there 
will be no other silver particles present, so the silver chloride 
circulates in the blood until exposed to light in the skin, where they 
are photo reduced to silver atoms. This is the photographic process that 
occurs when you take a picture (with a film camera). Once the silver 
atoms are produced in the skin, then the rest of the silver chloride 
will begin reducing onto those particles making them grow very fast, and 
resulting in many of them getting stuck in the skin. Since the particles 
are so small, they will appear as black or blue, giving the skin a 
bluish cast. This is called argyria, and can result from taking silver 
compounds without any colloidal component.


http://silver-lightning.com/theory.html#Internal

*What happens to EIS when taken internally?*

Since there are two components to EIS, then two different things happen.

The colloidal portion diffuses through the stomach wall rather quickly 
and enters the blood stream as long as the particles are small enough.


The ionic portion is a combination of silver hydroxide and silver oxide. 
While in solution they continually convert from one to the other and 
back again. Each has a solubility of about 13 ppm, so any EIS which is 
less than about 26 ppm and a pH of 7 will be totally dissolved. Upon 
contact with the HCl (hydrochloric acid) of the stomach both of these 
compounds will immediately form silver chloride. The silver chloride has 
a solubility of .8 ppm, so most of the silver chloride will precipitate 
out, but the remaining part will quickly move into the blood stream. As 
it does, that which precipitated will redissolve and move into the blood 
stream as well. The end result is that most of the silver chloride will 
move into the blood stream over time, but at a lower rate than the 
colloidal portion.


Once it is in the blood stream it is exposed to the same effects we 
discussed for silver compounds above. Basically it will try to plate out 
on any silver particles it finds. Since there will be colloidal silver 
which already passed into the blood, there will be lots of particles for 
it to plate out on. So in short order the silver in the silver chloride 
plates out onto the colloidal particles already there, and they grow by 
a small amount. Typically for an EIS of 10% particulate content, the 
particles should grow to about double in size. This is insufficient to 
cause them to get caught up into tissues, and they eventually get 
removed by the kidneys.


So, as it turns out. colloidal silver is actually a prophylactic against 
argyria, instead of a cause as some would have you believe.


*Marshall*


Many thanks.
Nenah

1996 Fung and Bowen'. I couldnt find this paper anywhere on the net so I 
had to buy it from the National Library.
Its 8 pages, almost entirely about argyria, but  with a couple of very 
unconvincing hypothesis', mentioned almost as an aside, that silver 
might cause other symptoms.  The trail for the source of these 
hypothesis' then gets even more blurred. But I think they are based on 
experiments in the mid 80's in which rats were fed high doses of silver 
nitrate every day  until they started to get a bit cranky. (About 140 
days straight as I recall). Even the researchers in those experiments 
concluded that the doses were so high that they bore no relevence to a 
real human situation.


So in the end I'd have to say that the proof that silver causes side 
effects other than argyria is extremely unconvincing.


A few months ago here in Australia the TGA (our FDA) published an alert 
that colloidal silver had caused in an elderly man 'debilitating fatigue 
accompanied by blue skin discolouration, dilated cardiomyopathy, amnesia 
and incoherent speech.'  On three ocassions I asked the TGA  to add some 
reference to the alert that proves that silver could cause any of these 
symptons other than argyria. They couldn't, and in the end simply said 
that the doctors diagnosis was good enough for them. I asked 'How can a 
doctor make such a diagnosis when theres no research to prove that 
silver can cause such a thing?'  They had no answer for that other than 
"Go away".

Fox News states:

The FDA does not consider colloidal silver safe or effective to treat 
any disease or condition. In fact, taking it could have serious side 
effects, such as:


-- Argyria -- which is an irreversible blue-gray discoloration of your 
skin, nails and gums


-- Seizures and other neurological problems

-- Kidney damage

-- Indigestion

-- Headaches

-- Fatigue

-- Skin irritation

Once the silver particles are in the skin, then they can grow, even 
from EIS. That is why it is essential to NEVER take silver compounds 
which can cause the seeds to form in the skin in the first place.  
You want the ionic part to eventually plate out on the colloidal 
component of the CS in the blood stream, not on particles stuck in 
the skin.



Marshall,
This is very interesting. By what mechanism do the ionic particles 
attach to the particles that are stuck in the skin?

The photographic development process.


And, can I infer by your above statement that if an externally 
ingested silver solution were completely colloidal (rather than 
completely ionic, or a combination of ionic and colloidal), it would 
NOT attach to the particles stuck in the skin?
That is correct, only silver compounds plate out on particles.  See: 
http://silver-lightning.com/theory.html#Compounds


*What happens when you take silver compounds.*

A silver compound will typically become silver chloride as soon as it 
hits the stomach. The silver chloride is sparingly soluble, about .8 
ppm. The dissolved silver chloride will move into the blood stream and 
once there will be exposed to chemicals that will induce the silver to 
plate out on any other silver particles present. However initially there 
will be no other silver particles present, so the silver chloride 
circulates in the blood until exposed to light in the skin, where they 
are photo reduced to silver atoms. This is the photographic process that 
occurs when you take a picture (with a film camera). Once the silver 
atoms are produced in the skin, then the rest of the silver chloride 
will begin reducing onto those particles making them grow very fast, and 
resulting in many of them getting stuck in the skin. Since the particles 
are so small, they will appear as black or blue, giving the skin a 
bluish cast. This is called argyria, and can result from taking silver 
compounds without any colloidal component.


http://silver-lightning.com/theory.html#Internal

*What happens to EIS when taken internally?*

Since there are two components to EIS, then two different things happen.

The colloidal portion diffuses through the stomach wall rather quickly 
and enters the blood stream as long as the particles are small enough.


The ionic portion is a combination of silver hydroxide and silver oxide. 
While in solution they continually convert from one to the other and 
back again. Each has a solubility of about 13 ppm, so any EIS which is 
less than about 26 ppm and a pH of 7 will be totally dissolved. Upon 
contact with the HCl (hydrochloric acid) of the stomach both of these 
compounds will immediately form silver chloride. The silver chloride has 
a solubility of .8 ppm, so most of the silver chloride will precipitate 
out, but the remaining part will quickly move into the blood stream. As 
it does, that which precipitated will redissolve and move into the blood 
stream as well. The end result is that most of the silver chloride will 
move into the blood stream over time, but at a lower rate than the 
colloidal portion.


Once it is in the blood stream it is exposed to the same effects we 
discussed for silver compounds above. Basically it will try to plate out 
on any silver particles it finds. Since there will be colloidal silver 
which already passed into the blood, there will be lots of particles for 
it to plate out on. So in short order the silver in the silver chloride 
plates out onto the colloidal particles already there, and they grow by 
a small amount. Typically for an EIS of 10% particulate content, the 
particles should grow to about double in size. This is insufficient to 
cause them to get caught up into tissues, and they eventually get 
removed by the kidneys.


So, as it turns out. colloidal silver is actually a prophylactic against 
argyria, instead of a cause as some would have you believe.


*Marshall*


Many thanks.

Morning Marshall,

Maybe you can tell me what I am missing or what I do not understand.

The only reason one measures the current is that he wants
to know the current flow in a specific circuit,

A finite circuit at a specific time and condition.
It may be a changing circuit, possibly a CS batch.

If one starts adding components such as a resistor, no matter the 
size, he has changed the circuit, and the reading will be meaningless.
It is not meaningless, and can usually be determined, but is often 
insignificant.  For instance if one has a CS system which has a 10 K 
resistor in series with 30 volts to provide a 3 mA current limit, and 
you put a 1 ohm resistor in series to measure the current, it will drop 
no more than 3 mV.  That is insignificant to the circuit, and the 10,001 
ohms will be in error by 1/100 of what a 1% resistor tolerance is.


The ratio of the change could be somewhat specific, but in most cases 
it will not be. ( actually unknown )


This would be determined by the ratio of the resistance added to the 
ratio of the original circuit.
Once again, if you are using a sufficiently low value resistor, the 
difference is insignificant.


Just because someone made a mistake and connected the meter wrong, is 
no need to think they could not still do it correctly.
Well, first I am not sure she was connecting it wrong, since I am not 
sure what she was trying to accomplish.  Was she trying to measure the 
short circuit current of the power supply? If so the connection was 
right, but the sequence of applying power, and/or selection of range was 
wrong.  If she was wanting to measure the current through a CS cell, 
then the connection was wrong. But if connected right, could have the 
same effect, if the wires in the cell were accidentally shorted together 
unless she is using a limiting resistor. Using a small shunt resistor 
and the meter on volts is less likely to cause a failure in the meter 
than measuring mA current if something does go wrong.


I hate to see people advising beginners with makeshift methods, half 
truths, and encouraging them to

wish, hope and pray, and go around in circles.

Then one year later,  or two years  later, they will still be confused 
and not understand  1 , 1, 1

One Volt, One Ohm, and One AMP.


Lets see, what it V = I*R, I = V/R or R= V/I?  Just kidding.
If they cannot understand that, when it is explained, or study it a 
few minutes, then they should Abandon Ship, ASAP.


The only reason I can see to use a known resistor with a current meter 
is to test the meter to see if it works.
No, you use a known resistor with a voltage meter.  Stay away from the 
current meter selection entirely, the voltage input is much more 
overload tolerant than the current input.


Any one of us could make a simple drawing, or a picture or two showing 
how to connect a volt meter or a current meter.


Likely 10,000 exist on the internet.

Once when installing a production line automation  system I built, one 
of my men connected a transformer backwards to
480 VAC.  When he used the meter, it was destroyed, not beyond repair, 
but beyond recognition.  He was lucky that he did not loose a finger 
or two, or more.


Yep, I evaporated the entire shaft of a screwdriver once when I 
accidentally got it across the terminals of a car battery.  For a while 
I thought I was going to be both blind AND deaf.  My sight came back, 
but my ears still ring.
We all know, the higher the voltage, the less forgiving it actually 
is, to equipment and to humans.


Maybe I missed the whole point about using the resistor.

Maybe.



>> It is a somewhat derogatory term
Some are transformers, putting out 24 or so volts AC, but most have a 
diode bridge in them and a filtering capacitor to supply DC.

   I think the term,  "Wall Wart"  means only one simple thing,

The people who use it have not a clue what they actually have.  If 
they did, they would use the proper term,

Power supply or Transformer.  Plain and simple.
I use the term, and know darned well what they are, and what is in 
them.  I tend to use the term because I think they are ugly, and that 
tends to convey that feeling.  Using a term like power supply or 
transformer is no better, when I hear power supply, I think of either a 
bench supply, or one of the units that go into a computer. A transformer 
can be anything from a balm antenna transformer to an HO train set 
transformer, to a neon sign transformer to a huge one in a substation.  
Wall wart describes the physical appearance and approximate size, 
transformer or power supply describes the function. Neither alone really 
gives a complete description, one would need to say a wall wart power 
supply, or a wall wart rated at 24 VDC @ 500 mA for example.


It is one or the other, not a stupid Wall Wart.

Maybe, but probably not. I would expect it to fail if you put it on 
milliamps. If you have a wall wart that is open circuit then short 
circuit it without any limiting resistor, you can expect a surge of 100 
to 1000 amps or so. This will take out any meter easily.  Most 
multimeters have a fuse in them, and if yours does, then replacing the 
fuse should fix it.


BTW if you wanted to know the steady state short circuit current, you 
could come pretty close from the measurements you have already made. 
Assuming no saturation, you measured 30.6 volts on a device rated 500mA 
@ 24 volts. Thus 500 mA drops 6.6 volts, and is thus 13.2 ohms.  If you 
short it out, you could expect a current of about 30.6/13.2 = 2.3 amps.

Don't measure an unlimited voltage source with a current meter.  If you 
want to measure the current through something, like a CS cell, that is 
fine, but never the unlimited source itself.  If you really want to 
measure the short circuit current, then use a small resistor, like .1 
ohm, and measure the voltage across the resistor, starting at 50 volts 
and going down.  Do it quickly, or the wart may burn up if they don't 
have any thermal limiting in it.  Even if they have a thermal link in 
it, if that blows the wart will stop working..

CS>Colloidal Silver Source

2007-12-21 Thread Marshall Dudley
This list has had requests over the years for a good source of 
inexpensive colloidal silver of high quality.  There really has not been 
one since I quit selling CS retail a couple of years ago.  I think I 
have one I can refer people to now.  I have been working with the guy, 
and he is now making it the same way I do, current limit, polarity 
reversal, flow through.  I am not sure what he is charging at this time, 
but I am sure it is much lower than you can get at the health food 
store.  He is shipping 16 oz, quart and gallon sizes.  His standard is 
5-6 ppm, and his high concentration is 15 ppm.  He can be contacted at 
drbill...@belltouth.net or Supra Research @ 843-664-9908.

Re: CS>The Blue Man (Agryria) - Any Comments?

2007-12-21 Thread kayedoe
Boy I really hated to see this, The FDA will be all over this issue,
attempting to regulate and ban over exaggerated hype. There's no
vaccination for ignorance.

But yet you can be prescribed drugs (still on the market) to ensure
your libido doesn't slip even though it has shown to cause
instantaneous deafness.  GO FIGURE!

I'll take my cs, that takes 19 hr. / gal to produce, made with pure
silver and steam distilled (made myself) in tablespoon fulls as
needed. A little goes a long way.

This is a perfect example as to why I don't recommend homeopathics to
people either. There aren't any persons in my circle that take the
time to research, read up on and keep up to date with modification to
an alternative health protocol; as I do. The result you end up with a
person taking it's use out of context through either lack of pursuing
information or misinformation (old methods) or simply a person who
operates by the premise of more is better; We all know that is not the
wisest mindset, right?

Just two days ago while talking to my niece about exercises she said,
well if I do it and then my back hurts, I can just take a few of those
balls (homeopathic medicine). She is staying with my sister for the
holidays ans was referring to the homeopathic remedy I had given to MY
SIS for HER back pain. Now mind you I have not done any form of rubics
for her or leg length testing to determine what remedy she may need
when in pain!  Some people don't have any sense..period.

One has to bear in mind that each person and their reactions to any
form of treatment or medicine is as individual as our fingerprints.
What works for one person may not work in the same manner for another.

I really feel for this man and hope that he is lead to the treatment
protocol to counteract agyria. I do believe this mans discoloration is
real. His comment, he would continue to use cs but simply take less,
leads me to believe he falls into the more is better mind set.

Most likely the result of stack up of tolerance involving may
variables; method of preparation ie salt, dwell/ppm, coupled with
volume ingested/over time etc.

2007-12-21 Thread Ode Coyote



  If you have the meter hooked up in series and electrodes in water, it 
won't "draw" more than just a few milliamps as the resistance of the water 
will limit the current...so, it doesn't matter if the amp rating of the 
transformer is one half amp or ten thousand amps.
If the current draw exceeds the rating of the transformer, the transformer 
burns up...anything less than that is fine.


Hooking up an ammeter in parallel is a dead short that will definitely 
exceed some thing, some where... and what ever that is, that part WILL let 
the smoke out ...the smoke that all electrical circuits must have inside to 
keep working.


Fuses let smoke out real easy by design.

PS  An unregulated 24 volt 500 mA AC to DC wall wart probably puts out more 
like 40 volts at the loads you are working with.
 An AC to AC unit may be as high as 100 volts peak to peak and deliver 
that to your parts.

Last time I dead shorted something was maybe 15 years ago when I was 
installing a new elec box behind my stove. That was a stupid thing to do 
too. Then I kept on resetting the circuit breaker until I broke that!  I 
finally called the electrician to come out and tell me where I went wrong 
(and I don't mean in my childhood). Sometimes my brain just goes on 
vacation, I have no excuse.


I replaced the fuse and my meter works again. That's good- I guess I quit 
while I was not too far behind, I didn't fry the whole unit.  I am glad I 
asked.


The wall wart says it is a class 2 power supply, input 120V AC 60hz 20 w, 
output 24V DC 500mA. I did not realize there was a difference in those 
small units used to power all kinds of gadgets around the house. I have 
not looked at them closely. I thought transformers were more for high 
voltage applications, like neon signage and such. I do have one of those 
too, but they scare me.


My regular 3 battery setup works fine. I was trying to see where to set 
the potentiometer to keep the current controlled with an AC to DC power 
supply.  I just looked at my meter, and it says right on it the max for 
that setting is 400mA.  Darn it.  If I hook it up to the other lead, it 
will measure up to 10A, so I guess that is the way to go, then when I get 
the pot. set, so the current is low, maybe then I can move the lead to the 
other side.

The really good meters have a fuse in the current part of the
meter.  Even then, you should know the range of your current meter and 
the amount of current in the circuit you wish to measure. They are easily 
replaceable by the user.



If you add the resistor as was suggested, the reading will be worthless 
anyway.  Sounds like this is all to complicated for you.
Maybe you should forget the whole smear.  Current measurement is not for 
everyone.  Measuring the current in a CS batch is not like measuring the 
maximum current of a power supply or transformer.  You need to learn a 
few terms, the right one.
A  wall wart is not an acceptable term.  You do not know if you have a 
power supply or a transformer.

At least you stated,  24 V.  another worthless term.

 You ran full current past it's range or through the shunt like a short 
circuit [parallel, not series] and blew out the fuse in the meter.
 There are generally 2 current range sockets on a meter, one up to around 
200 milliamps and another for up to 10 amps.


 Checking current MUST be a series hook up with both leads on [+] *or* [-] 
with a break in one wire.

Voltage is a parallel hook up.one lead on [+] *and* one on [-]

Open up the back and replace the fuse.

 SOTA Inst. started selling $10 optional current control add ons to their 
silver pulser a few years back.

Now, I think it's integrated, but they still use a timer.
There is a circuit diagram posted on their website that shows a separate 
circuit for making EIS, but it's an "older" diagram and uses a grain of 
wheat light bulb like some of the old 3 nines generators to limit the 
current to something below making a fire if the electrodes were shorted out.

New specs say 1.5 mA if I recall.

The generator in the video looks like the new SOTA packaging.

they are just  unlucky latecomers to this story.  Perhaps if we have any 
Sota generator owners on the list they could email Sota and ask for their

By the way, I don't buy the 'putting on his face' theory. Its just too

  When silver ions dry out [water evaporates] they oxidize 
into  brown  to  black [not blue] silver oxides which will stain the skin.

This is not agyria and will wear off like magic marker art.

14 years ago EVERYONE was using 3 nines in salt water and the instructions 
"1 minute = 1 PPM" with absolutely no mention of the volume of water, 
exponential current ramp up ["runaway" ] current density and so on.
Only 8 years ago, there was about zero sensible information available on 
what is happening in the process or how to control it.

 Pink , green and violet "CS' were being promoted as desirable.

 I have a $150 generator made in the late 80s [SilverGenie] that will make 
a pint of emulsified black and brown layered "MUD" in under 4 minutes...in 
distilled water.

Utter trash.

There's actually a warning label on it that says running the thing for more 
than 4 minutes may cause a fire and touching the electrodes may cause death.


It wasn't until the mid to late 90s that any "good" generators started 
being made that controlled the process in a repeatable manner.
