That is a neat graphic Mike. I agree with your point about polarity, I should 
have explained what I meant with shock protection. 
Shock hazard has little to do with voltage and everything to do with current.

If you consider the circuit I described with the bridge rectifiers and current 
limiting resisters, with a 15k ohm bleeder resister the 
open circuit voltage will be 55 volts.You can take both silver rods in your 
hands (even wet hands) and not get any shock when 
handling because of the current limiting resisters. The maximum current flow 
through your body is likely less than 1ma.

Now take a worsed case scenario; I have seen many diodes short circuit when 
exposed to lightning or line voltage surges.
Imagine then the diode in one AC line shorting to the B+ side of the bridge. 
Another diode on the other side is shorting to the  
minus side of the bridge, the other two diodes are open. You now have  115 
volts AC on the DC side of the bridge. 
This is where the polarity reversal becomes an issue. If a person was to hold 
one rod in one hand and touch a water pipe or 
any other type of ground, he would be exposed to approx. 40 volts AC with one 
polarity and about 80 volts AC the reverse 
polarity. However, if you consider the body resistance to be 100k ohms, your 
maximum current that can flow is limited to 1ma. 
This is very safe.

I have in fact grabbed the rods and played around with conceivable scenario's, 
in the shorted diode case you will get a slight 
shock if you take the 80 volt rod in one hand and the other hand on a natural 
ground, but even here the current will still be so 
low that it cannot harm you. With the bridge rectifiers in tact, I did not get 
any shocks until I increased the bleeder resistor to 
27K ohms. Even then just a little tickle.

So I repeat, This circuit is very safe although not as safe as when you use an 
isolation transformer. .

I should mention that I make all of my CS with 25 kv  HVAC, and have been doing 
this for three years. Talk about a shock hazard.
My reason for playing around with this circuit is because I enjoy experimenting 
with LVDC. I have been intrigued by Ole Bob's 
experiments and try to copy some of his experiments.
I am also looking for a very inexpensive circuit that can I can afford to give 
away to people in poverty situations.

  I am the guy that sent those samples to Ole Bob. The circuit I used is
very much like the one you described, but when I designed it my primary
concern was safety. I wanted to design a line rectified generator that was
almost shock proof, so this is what I came up with.

In the AC line I put a 3k ohm resister in both sides of the line before the
bridge diodes, this limits the short circuit bridge current to 19ma. After
the bridge is a 22 mfd capacitor with a 10k ohm resistor in both the
positive and negative lines. ( which agrees with your calculation of 20,216
ohms) The purpose here is for greater shock protection in case of polarity
reversal. After the current limiting resisters I added a 220k bleeder
resister from hot to negative. An LED  then connects to the anode rod. The
220k resister resister will reduce the open line voltage from 160 volts to
135 volts and will discharge the capacitor when unit is turned off. This
resister can be any value between 10k and 220k or higher  allowing you to
change the open circuit output voltage to any level you choose. A 15k ohm
resister will have open circuit voltage of 55 volts and a much lower shock
hazard making it very safe to use.

I was intrigued by Bob's idea of increasing the anode rod length and
decreasing the cathode, so this is what I tried.
67" of 12 ga wire wound into a 3 inch coil ( 5 turns) In the center of the
coil I placed a .038 ga. 11/2"
this is a 67 to 1 ratio of surface area.

The question is what generated the NO and NO3?
Was it the high voltage, the coil arrangement,or both.
Bob seems to think it is the voltage. I have produced more samples done at
lower voltages and will be sending them to Bob shortly for testing.

I apologize for not responding to earlier comments on this, but a neck
injury gives me a lot of pain at times and has caused me to severely limit
my computer time the last two months.

CS>LED's For Phototherapy Light Wand

2002-06-27 Thread Dave Sawatzky
In the May discussions on LED Phototherapy Light wands, Ivan Anderson say
"I have single red LED's that produce 6,000 mcd."

Where can I get 6,000 mcd LED's?  I have searched the internet and found some 
9,000 mcd LEDs but they were only 630 nm. Can anyone tell me if that wavelength 
is less effective for treatment?

I just received some 4.000 mcd LEDs from BGMicro, but on my tests they have 
light output that is approx. 20 % lower than the 3500 mcd I have from a 
different supplier. I also tried a few of their clusters that were discussed 
here. I found that most of the individual LEDs had very poor light output. If I 
remember correct, there were only 5 out of 27 of the red ones that had 
reasonable brightness left in them.

I have built 2 light wands and the tests have been very encouraging. One man 
has a bad rotator cop in his shoulder, and the light has substantially reduced 
his pain. The second unit is being tested by a lady with a sprained ankle. She 
is reporting that her swelling went down after the first treatment with a 
reduction in pain.

I also have a question for Brooks Bradley.
Ivan posted the construction article in May that shows a grid with 5/8" squares 
with LEDs in alternate points, which gives a 1 1/4" spacing between units.  How 
important is spacing? I built one before I had those plans and spaced the leds 
touching each other. This gives a greater concentration of light in a small 
area. Have you done some research on effectiveness as it relates to spacing.
I have very much appreciated your sharing on this site Brooks, and look forward 
to learning more from your well of experience. Thank you

CS>OT re:daily unintentional vomiting

2002-05-18 Thread Dave Sawatzky
Hi Fernwoods,

I feel for your daughters friend with the vomiting problem. I spent 5 years 
looking for a solution to a nausea problem that was so severe that my body 
wanted to vomit all the time, even when there was no food in the stomach. 
This all started as a reaction to taking some improperly prescribed medication. 
After 6 days my body went into shock and I started vomiting uncontrollably till 
I took some Gravol ( a Canadian over the counter anti nausea med.) I took three 
gravol a day for the next 5 years looking for a cure. In those 5 years I saw 15 
different health professionals, including a 6 day stay at Mayo Clinic in 
Rochester. Not one of them could find a way to stop it or even explain why this 
was happening. Mayo Clinic was my last attempt with the medical profession. 
They simply said " Sorry we can not help you." It was at this point that for 
the first time in my life that I started looking at alternative treatments. Got 
no help there either, till I reluctantly decided to try a lay person in the 
community that claimed to have a gift from God that gave him some super natural 
senses in his fingers. I went to see him in his home and within 10 minutes he 
told me that I had five dislocated nerves in my back and two in the neck. (The 
medical people will tell you that nerves cannot dislocate) My nausea was gone, 
but only for a few days. The nerves  kept slipping out and I had to go back 
many times before they stayed in place. This gave me many opportunities to 
question him about his gift. I discovered that he could actually feel the 
electrical impulses that travel along the nerves.

He said he had never seen a case like mine before, but he had seen a few people 
that had the same kind of vomiting after eating condition that you described. 
One was a man from North Dakota that could not eat a full meal without 
vomiting.  He had found a nerve on the bottom of his stomach that was out of 
place. After he manipulated it into place the man had gone to a restaurant and 
ordered a steak and had then come back to tell him that was the first full meal 
he had been able to keep down for years.

After telling this story to some friends, an elderly lady came to see him with 
the same problem. He gave her the same treatment and she too is cured.
I am totally convinced that this man has a super natural gift, I was fortunate 
to have someone like that only six miles away. Sometimes it pays to try even 
things you had not believed in before. 
I hope this helps you to understand some possible causes. If you want any more 
info, please contact me off list.
 Sorry this got so long.

completly.

Second person, an elderly male, I gave him a sample bottle in December and 
after one bottle was much improved. He has been taking it on a regular basis

CS>Re: Poinsettia & CS

2001-12-30 Thread Dave Sawatzky
Hi Bob
Thank you for your excellent report. When you said that I probably had high 
acid content I remembered that the stuff I gave my daughter was from a batch 
that  I rejected because I had run the arc to long and had something like 30 
ppm. Whenever I have something I am not sure of I dump it in a jug and mark it 
for agricultural use only. I assumed that it was simply ionic silver, am 
surprised that I never heard about producing a highly acidic product with the 
arc before.


>>To make HVAC with all of your electrodes wet is the first disaster. My 
>>investigations of two wet (why 4?) was never able to >make more that 9 ppm 
>>(true not hanna stuff) and it would go yellow or dirty and have
silver drop out. So I abandoned that process.

I use four rods to reduce the current per rod to make the smallest particles 
possible, also wetting 1/2 inch of each electrode gives more surface area  
releasing the particles.  I have experimented with different rod lengths wet 
and found that 1/2 inch gave me the best results. But you are correct about the 
ppm, I can not get above 4 ppm on the Hanna meter, and that is because with 
that process I produce  mainly particles. That is why I finish off with the 
arc, I then stop it at 10-12 ppm.
My question to you is: What is the difference between arcing one rod for the 
whole process or arcing 2 rods at the end to top off the ionic content. My goal 
was to increase the particle ratio and I know I have accomplished that. I 
suspect that either method would produce the same amount of nitric acid per rod 
per hr.


>> I will attach a plot of one of my
run made on 11/6/01 and retested yesterday. It is quite revealing.

Sorry, I did not receive that.

CS>Re: Poisettia & CS

2001-12-29 Thread Dave Sawatzky
Thanks for your reply Bob.

I make my cs with a Spartan 9KV-30 MA HVAC generator from Utopoia Silver. I 
have added a stirring device powered by adapter.

I have 4-12 qauge rods of . silver 2 inches in the water. Water measures 1 
ppm at start, I run a 2 gal batch for 10hrs. That gives me a very strong tyndal 
effect, but reads only 4 ppm. I then pull the rods out of the water approx 1/4 
inch and arc into the water for approx 1/2 an hour to bring the ionic content 
up to approx 10 ppm. (just to satisfy those who insist on at least 10 ppm) I 
estimate this to be 75% ioniv and 25% particle.
The batch used on the poisettia had been run a bit longer on arc and measured 
14 ppm.

I do not use any covering on the 7 inch opening of the jug.

This is the first time I have heard of producing a NO 3 nitric acid with the 
arc. If you can test it for nitric acid I would like to send you a sample to 
test. I have experimented using the arc only, and have made it as strong as 
1200 ppm with zero tyndal effect. I have never used this product, but it would 
be interesting to know if it had a nitric acid component.

I sent some samples to Frank Key for testing in May 2001, they had run for 5 
hrs, but no arcing 
The ppm measured 3.29  total,
2.08 ppm ionic, 1.21 ppm particle
.
In order to get a higher percentage particles I then doubled the run time, and 
then topped it off with the arc thinking that the arc was adding pure ionic 
silver to the particles.

I usually monitor the current and it starts at about 17ma and ends 25-27 ma.

Please advise what you make of this. 
Dave


Hi Dave,

How do you make your HVAC???   If it is make by the arc method with an
air blanket then you have a good sized ppm of
NO3 !!! that is part of nitric acid.

My HVAC ARC CSmade with a CO2 blanket will have no more and 0.0 to 2.0
ppm of NO3. I have seen some made in ait with 27 ppm of NO3, and that is
disaster.

Since Dr Bill Bagioli and my self developed the HVAC ARC method, please
tell me exacly what you are doing.

It can be great stuff with 98+% ionic silver or a real disaster.

generator made by Utopia Silver at http://www.utopiasilver.com/ ? It is an HVAC

Sorry to be so late in responding, I have been off the list for a while and am 
slow catching up.

I have used this generator for over a year now and have been producing an 
average of 16 gal. per month, and am very pleased with the product it produces.
I was dissapointed at first when it did not produce a 10 ppm product in 1 1/2 
hrs as per instructions, all I got was 3 ppm.

 I started doing a lot of experimenting with rod placement and spacing and 
found that I was getting a much stronger TE then I ever got with LVDC, but with 
very low ppm readings.  At the same time I began to learn about ionic silver 
and silver particles from Frank Keys web site. I sent a sample to Frank for 
testing and found that I could produce a product with 63% ionic silver and 37% 
particle, with particle size of 25 nm. I then discovered that I could also 
produce a very high ionic only product testing as high as 1200 ppm. Perfectly 
clear with no TE. I have settled on a process that runs for 10 hrs producing a 
very strong particle content, then a 1/2 hr run to top off the ionic to read 10 
to 12 ppm. According to my calculations based on previous samples tested by 
Frank, I believe that I am cosistantly producing a 75/25 % ratio with this set 
up. While the generator is somewhat slow, I like the flexability it gives me to 
adjust the ionic/particle ratio. I have not used any other HVAC generators, but 
from what I understand you cannot vary the ionic content or particle size on 
the other HVAC generators I have looked at.
I believe the product could be improved some more, especially in particle size. 
But I simply cannot afford to pay Frank,s prices for annalizing with a Canadian
