Re: CS>Article on HV colloidal silver

1999-10-22 Thread James Allison
My two cents worth (actually, Bruce K. Stenulson's two cents worth) pulled
from...
http://web.idirect.com/~showcase/althealth/makecs.htm

In an AC powered operation as some others are promoting, where the polarity
is constantly switched, other undesirable things may happen; it is known
that in all electro-colloidal silver generating processes, some charge
stripping of silver ions does occur as they come in contact with the
cathode, resulting in their gaining electrons, and the resulting reduction
to atomic silver particles (without the charge that is said to produce the
pathogen disabling effect.) In a DC system, these reduced metallic particles
remain as a grayish 'sludge' buildup on the surface of the cathode, and
eventually are very visible at higher current levels. In a system where the
polarity is switched constantly, this sludge is propelled and dispersed back
into the water continuously, as evidenced by the 'clean electrodes' spoken
of.

Mechanical effects of redispersal of plated out silver "sludge" from the
cathode will occur at higher concentrations and especially at higher
currents, especially if AC is used, resulting in much coarser, uncharged
metallic silver particles than may be desired floating about in your
product. Filtering with good lab quality filter media may be able to remove
some of this "non-ionic" silver; settling of most of the really larger
particle "clumps" might also occur within 72 hours, I'd estimate, if the
particles are not too fine. I guess the question is this; are the positively
charged colloidal silver ions, (as produced in a DC process), what you want
in your product, or do you want non-charged 'non-ionic' metallic silver
particles, as produced in the AC processes? From what I have researched and
what I understand at this time, I'd stay with Dr. Becker's recommendations
myself, and try to produce the positively charged Colloidal Silver Ions with
a DC process.

[To summarize this for the technically inclined] please consider carefully
that, just as positively charged silver ions are generated into the system
at the anode, they are attracted to the negatively charged cathode. Many
stay in the colloidal suspension, but as the concentration of silver ions
build up, and the current flow through the system increases, more and more
silver ions are drawn to, and come in contact with the cathode. When they do
this, they are stripped of their positive charge, and 'plate out' on the
surface of the cathode as a visible 'sludge', but do not bond to the surface
structure - they accumulate as larger groups of loosely bonded, uncharged
silver particles. If what I understand Dr. Becker and others to be saying is
true, these uncharged silver particles, what I refer to as the 'silver
sludge' formed at the cathode, should be removed if possible from your
finished product.

Using a DC power source, with no polarity reversal, is my strong
recommendation (and that of many others) for predictably generating
positively charged colloidal silver particles (biologically active silver
ions) in your product, while controlling silver 'sludge' dispersal problems.
[Note that this DC supply can be produced either from an AC source,
rectified, regulated, and filtered, or from a battery supply.]
Electroplaters have long known that a well rectified DC power source was
required to generate and manipulate metallic ions in their processes to
achieve the desired results.

All of the above was taken from...

HV is the state of the art of silver making today.

Perhaps you should "play with it" before you dismiss it.

Hello,

I have measured "D.I." water at 4.0+ PPM TDS.  Santa Fe, Water King brand.

I removed a DI cartridge from my still feedwater because it was putting 
stuff in the water.

DI water not uncommonly still has bacteria in it; a possible pyrogen even 
if killed by the heat of generation or the Ag sol itself.  It grows in the 
system.

acheive 100's of PPM of "bad" compounds! Silver is clearly safe,
so the better your water the better your product.

As previously stated, steam distilled water is often poor quality
water, with  upto 15PPM of contaminates, due to the entrainment
of the residue water in the steam. Deionized water is never above
1PPM, being a much more controllable process and thus is a
better medium to use, to get free silver ions rather then compounds.

Yes. Very good points. I didn't mean to

I meant to say is that the CS PRO system
FOR ME seems more deterministic. This
is in part due to things that have NOTHING
to due with AC vs DC.  For instance, I 
really like the electrode assembly on
the Phaser because it holds the electrodes
firmly in plastic sockets. Now obviously,
that feature could be incorporated in a
DC unit and indeed this may already exist
in a DC unit.

Anyway, thanx for the clarification.
I don't have anything to do with CS PRO
and I've only talked to Bruce once. I just
like the unit and thought others might be
interested in my experience.

P.S.
I do agree that the marketing is out of control 
on the part of nearly all vendors.

In the whole "debate" over HV vs LV, AC vs DC the bottom line has 
always been that they both work well enough to be worth continued 
study.

Bruce Marx has done a marvelous job from everything I've seen. I'd 
happily pay 350 bucks for the unit Steve describes if I chose to buy 
such a system. He's done the necessary engineering and development to 
make it a reliable product and to characterize the CS it makes well 
enough for you to know reasonably well what you're getting. 

However, like nearly *every* vendor in the market, he claims his
product is best (which indeed it may be), *and* that others are
*bad*. Now, this is natural from a marketing standpoint, and I'm
sure describes *some* of the competition very well, but it isn't the
whole story.

Even the crudest low voltage DC products, even those using salt as an 
accelerant, seem to have provided benefits to plenty of folks, and 
we've yet to see anyone injured by them.

The present consensus LVDC recipe, with some manner of current 
limiting rather than constant voltage and using only distilled water, 
appears to generate CS that is effective and has a long shelf life. 
Given the color, it appears to be a larger average particle size than 
the HVAC product, but that doesn't seem to preclude folks reporting 
good results with it.

And, again, we've still to hear from folks being hurt by it, either.

If you look at some of Bob Berger's results, you'll see that it's
possible to make a decent concentration of clear, and presumably
small particle CS by a LVDC process, albeit with some extra bells and
whistles required. But the CSPro units are microprocessor controlled,
so who's going to complain about a little complexity, hm?

To repeat, the bottom line remains both HVAC and LVDC work well 
enough to be worth continued study. It's very helpful to review the 
points that have been brought up in this thread. Everyone needs to 
understand it to get past the inevitable marketing biases.

To each his own, and to all, better health!

Be well,

>They bought the high end "Ultra Professional Colloidal Silver System"
>the Manufacturer claims high voltage process created smaller silver
>particles than a  LVDC unit.This has two important side effects:

I own a Phaser Pro System from CS PRO Systems.  
The Phaser Pro costs around $350 and it is a mid-range
generator, compared to the high-end CS PRO Ultra. Like the
Ultra, the Phaser Pro produces a very stable CS with virtually 
no sludge or sediment. The capacity of this unit is not adequate 
for commercial use but its ideal for a plentiful home supply. The 
Phaser uses AC but not high voltage AC, to my knowledge.

The unit has a very well-designed electrode
assembly that accepts three short lengths of 12 gauge
silver wire into stable sockets mounted in the batch tank lid.  
There are no problems with loose wires or electrode
spacing, etc. The trodes are immersed several inches in 
the batch water and there are no issues with heating, arcs 
or evaporation.

Three different PPM settings are provided and the controls
are very easy to use. The documentation is good
and CS PRO has developed a new water calibration
procedure that uses a very small amount of
pure baking soda and a supplied TDS meter. 
This allows the use of steam distilled water (or 
similar) with a TDS as low as 0  PPM. 

In general the CS PRO Phaser is painless to use and very 
efficient with time and silver (approx 20 min/batch). I 
generally set it up once a  week and run it until I fill up 
a gallon plastic jug. The CS stays  nearly clear with 
strong Tyndall for an apparently indefinite period.  

CS PRO Systems may seem expensive compared to 
batteries and alligator clips, but due to my past  experiences
purchasing custom and limited-production electronic 
devices in other industries (television production, music
recording, etc.) I actually feel that CS PRO prices are
extremely reasonable if you are looking for a turn-key
solution. 

If, on the other hand, you enjoy hacking around 
with electrics, then by all means do it yourself. There's 
definitely a place for both manufactured and home-made
approaches and everything in between (eg, well made, 
constant-current DC units for less than $100).  I also own a 
DC CS unit and I'm not claiming that DC is always inferior to 
AC. The thing I like about CS PRO is that they have optimized 
their units for small particle size, high bio-availability and a 
very controlled generation process. This is something I had 
trouble achieving with low cost components.

If you pinch the little spring hooks which support the arc bars [short 
length of about 16 gauge Ag wire with a loop in one end and the remainder 
gently twisted one around another] closed just enough to slip the wire loop 
over, there are fewer-to-no dropped arc bars.  Not a big  deal anyway, I 
get mine out with a bit of SS wire formed into a hook.   It takes about 10 
seconds.  If you are minimally careful there is no need to jiggle them off 
anyway...

Any system will be affected by salts from skin.  Wash well before handling

1999-10-21 Thread James Osbourne, Holmes
I'm not Fred,

but I agree with what you reported the article to say except for the 
difficulty of use.  The instructions are lucid and error-free.  If you can 
read and carefully follow simple directions it is a snap.  I perceive the 
instructions as thorough and detailed, but not overly complicated.  HV CS 
is a mighty complex  physical state, and for an amateur to be able to make 
it at all is quite an achievement.

The overheating will be caused by maladjustment of the height of one or two 
of the electrodes above the surface of the water.   If this goes on long 
enough it will cook---as in destroy---the transformer.  This is easy to 
avoid, by placing the "arc bars" very close to the surface of the water. 
 The 'pull and push' adjustment of that height  by tweaking a gold-plated 
spring(s) is a minor
pain-in-the-ass, but other configurations which have been tried for making 
the adjustment easier  have caused a change in quality of the silver.

After you do it a few times, it gets easier to estimate the amount of force 
necessary to get the right dangle.

Some steam distilled water may be too pure for the unit to make its optimum 
yield [concentration] of sol.

The maker of the device recommends a TDS reading of about 0.8 PPM, or 
equivalent mS in the start water.

The unit can be run off batteries if you use a quality inverter.   This 
does bump up the overall cost, but will enable you to make very high 
quality sol  when the grid is---for whatever reason---not.

Makers claims re: particle size are backed up with TEM flicks.

1.The smaller particles are more easily assimilated into the cells of the 
body.
2.The particles stay in suspension indefinitely rather than falling to the 
bottom on the container and making sludge.
They found this to be true, unlike DC unit that generated  quite a bit of 
sludge, HV unit created NO sludge, and noticed it used a lot less silver.
They noticed it didn't Oxidize the silver like DC unit ( black crud on the 
silver)


Area they did not like
Complicated documentation
First time use extremely difficult, slightest error in set up will cause 
unit to overheat

WILL NOT RUN OFF BATTERIES, must have CLEAN AC power.

They also stressed you must use steam distilled water for any CS production 
or you could generate poison.


Fred is this correct?

Marshall,

I don't have the article you referred to but I have an HVAC generator with an
almost identical batch tank and electrode setup as the one pictured in the
article. I can tell you that producing product with my setup is very easy, fast
and non problematic. I pour a half gallon of distilled water into the batch
tank place the cover/electrode setup on the tank connect two wires and turn the
unit on. In a few minutes tyndall is evident! I let the unit run for an hour or
two and I have colloidal silver. No stirring, no wiping electrodes, and no
polarity switching necessary as the AC does it automatically. As far as quality
of product, I don't know as I have not had it tested.

CS>Article on HV colloidal silver

1999-10-21 Thread Marshall Dudley
There is a new article on HVAC vs low voltage:

High-Voltage Colloidal Silver
Trying to make your own
shelf-stable colloidal silver? The
DC silver generators don't have
the voltage to do the trick, but
the high-voltage AC units claim
to have solved it. Are they really
worth $900? And are they easier
or more difficult to use than the
low-end DC units? Click for
details... CS at http://www.y2knewswire.com/ .

Unfortunately you have to be a member to read this article, and I am not a
member.  If anyone here is a member could they grab the article and tell me
what it says.

Thanks,

Marshall
