Re: CS> I stand by the Colloidal Master as the Best.

2009-06-30 Thread Arnold Beland
I went to the wishgranted site to see what this was all about.  Here are my 
observations.  The designers of this unit are to be applauded for recognizing 
the fact that current must be limited to less than 100 micro amps per square 
inch of surface area of silver.  This was probably the reason they have chosen 
to use 28 gauge flat sheet instead of round wire.  This gives them a much 
increased surface area for the amount of silver used.  I calculate that the 
silver supplied with the generator is 0.342 ounces.  This is roughly the same 
amount that is supplied with most generators in this price range and it is the 
equivalent in weight of two pieces of 12 gauge silver wire of 6 inches in 
length.  The first few batches will show evidence of accelerated wear at the 
square corners as sharp points have a greater tendency to release ions, but 
this effect should not last past the first few batches.  All so-called "fully 
automatic" units are designed by accepting a compromise.  They are all designed 
to shut off the process when a certain cell voltage is achieved.  The voltage 
between the two electrodes will steadily decrease as the resistance of the cell 
decreases.  The resistance of the cell will decrease or the conductivity will 
increase with the number of silver ions that are in solution.  In terms of 
conductivity this will equal the reading on a proper conductivity meter of 
MicroSiemens.  In this case, a potentiometers is used two pick a certain 
voltage and the cell voltage is monitored until it equals the potentiometers 
voltage.  This would be necessary with this unit as they have no control over 
the spacing of the electrodes, which directly influences the cell voltage 
versus the PPM.  They have no facility for reversing the polarity of the unit.  
This means that at least half, possibly more depending on electrode spacing, of 
the silver will be wasted.  With spacing this close, most of the silver ions 
will make it to the cathode and collect on it.  When enough of them agglomerate 
they will fall to the bottom of the container.  This is actually mentioned in 
the item's description.  The silverpuppy, in contrast, periodically reverses 
the polarity to limit this effect and also provides a mechanism for stirring.  
If anyone is interested in really learning how to properly make colloidal 
silver here is a link to some posts on a forum that is populated by a highly 
critical people. 

http://goldismoney.info/forums/showthread.php?t=371376

I have taken the approach of simply limiting the current amount and increasing 
the spacing between electrodes to the point where the generator can simply be 
left alone for 24 HRS.  You need a Multimeter and a laser pointer, which I 
consider essential, to ascertain whether or not you've made anything at all.  
You will be able to reliably create any clear solution at a strength of 15 to 
20 PPM that will remain stable in a clear glass container.

Re: CS> I stand by the Colloidal Master as the Best.

2009-06-30 Thread abeland1
You are correct, MaryAnn, my bad.
"The Colloid Master allows the modulated current to pass in one direction to 
just the optimal amount of time that is needed to allow silver to disperse 
without too strong an action on the electrodes, then the current reverses, in 
effect using electromagnetism to push the particles away from the electrodes 
and allows them to disperse into the water. This describes one cycle, which 
lasts about one minute and is a built-in automatic feature."
I'm afraid that when my mind encounters a statement such as "in effect using 
electromagnetism to push the particles away", my mind simply erases the entire 
paragraph.  There are other parts of the sales pitch that I graciously chose to 
ignore involving solar events and ionization of the air  being blamed for the 
unpredictability of their results, that I blanked out.  It is hard to criticize 
statements such as these because for all I know, they might actually believe 
them.  I can see some "cut and paste" activity from Frank Key's site (and Frank 
has his own axes to grind), which try to obfuscate the fact that particle size 
can be determined by the color.  This is done by emphasizing the effect of some 
factor which in reality is orders of magnitude smaller than that of particle 
size.  This is the tactic of "confusion to the enemy" which is in this case, 
the customer.  The origin of this thread was Tel comparing this unit to the 
silverpuppy, which has a very large and loyal band of users, for good reason.  
Ken does not BS his customers.  I can read through his site without triggering 
my gag reflex.
If a person is willing to turn on a multimeter and push the button of a laser 
pointer they can, for the same money, get almost 10 times the 9997 (Not 999) 
silver, a proper power supply (not a wall wart), a high quality laser pointer, 
a circuit board with a slider type potentiometer and one gallon jar.  This will 
produce a gallon a day of 15 to 20 PPM for years.

To make really good CS you need to track the location, extent, and

no better than a manual unit.

Hi Tel,
I haven't tested any of the other generators, but from what I've researched,
the colloidal Master appealed to me most. I also like the way it looks, nice
and neat, and its a good idea to test the water purity beforehand, which is
easily done with the Colloidal Master. Another plus is that all you do is
set the dial on the front to the desired ppm, switch on the switch and press
the button. It shuts off automatically, when the water reaches the desired
ppm setting. Easy peasy. Its all I need, except maybe a tester for the ppm
in the water.

I know that this is nit-picky -- but it isn't a Colloidal Master -- it's a 
Colloid Master.  I have one, I like it, and it just grinds me to see it 
mis-identified over and over again.     OK -- I said it was 
nit-pickyMA

Hi Tel,

I haven't tested any of the other generators, but from what I've researched, 
the colloidal Master appealed to me most. I also like the way it looks, nice 
and neat, and its a good idea to test the water purity beforehand, which is 
easily done with the Colloidal Master. Another plus is that all you do is set 
the dial on the front to the desired ppm, switch on the switch and press the 
button. It shuts off automatically, when the water reaches the desired ppm 
setting. Easy peasy. Its all I need, except maybe a tester for the ppm in the 
water.
