Reid,

your problem is that you are not an electrical engineer, and hence are
having difficulty undeerstanding the problem. so I will asttempt to provide
the missing data. Some things you will have to take on faith.

You are puzzled about 109 volts dropping to 82 volts and the current going
from 15 to 55 ma.

What you have is a constant voltage system that does not have sufficient
stiffness to deliver the current that your cell is demanding. The voltage
drop is due to inadequate wire size in the transformer.  If your transformer
had enough beef the voltage would have stayed at 109 volts even as the
current increased. It sounds like your transformer has less than a 100 va
rating.

In a constant current system set to regulate at 5 ma.the voltage will stay
at about the no load value i.e. say 36 volts as the current increases from
0.20 ma to about 3 ma. then the voltage will start to drop as the current
increases. When the current hits the 5 ma. set limit the voltage will be
about 5 to 8 volts and will stay at that level and the current will stay at
5 ma. Hence the name constant current.

Realize that when inadequate parts are put together all kinds of screwy
results  can and do happen. The amazing thing is that inspite of all of the
shade tree engineering or lack of it, people make good CS.

I happen to be a retired registered professional engineer witth degrees in
electronics and power, so I tend to look at things with a different eye.

I hope this clears up things for you.

 I should also say, by way of knowing that on this last occasion the CS

 Now I am merely a bit puzzled by your assertion that either the current

2002-02-13 Thread Reid Harvey
Dear Ole Bob,
Thanks for this information, which is very helpful in clearing things
up.  It appears that what you are saying is that while there is nothing
wrong with my generator per se, some of the wiring is inadequate.  On
the other hand I cannot particularly blame the folks who made the
electrical component for us, since they had had little idea to what
purpose we would be putting this, or that either voltage or current
would vary so widely over time.  But if in future they do beef up the
wiring on the transformer and we do get constant voltage, then the time
needed to get the same ppm will presumably decrease.  And since voltage
will remain constant the number of variables in the process will also
decrease be one less.
Regards,
Reid

You missed the point. If he is using 110 vdc on one cell, he almost has to be
running a constant current  system. We need to check the person's system his is
copying.

Back in February of 1999 when I was investigating 280 to 330 volts in  minutes
agglomeration set in ans the CS became like Mississippi river water at 60-100ma.
Then the current leveled off and started back down, and in 60 minutes the CS was
crystal clear and the final current was 1/3 the maximun. The T.E.M showed
particles of 16 to 86 nm in size.

If you want a copy of the data sheet I will try to scan it for you.

2002-02-11 Thread Reid Harvey
Ole Bob,
I'm an absolute novice when it comes to electricity, in spite of my
know-it-all attitude, so you would have to spell out for me what it is
you mean.  For example, what is a constant current regulator and of what
two systems do you speak?  Otherwise I could tell you some of my other
variables:  I use a generator based on Terry Chamberlin's design (God
love him!).  It's 110volts DC,  the container four liters.  The two
electrodes are 5 inches apart, each 1.2 x 7.0 mm, with about 15.0 cms.
length in solution.  So the wet area is 24.6 cms. sq. for each.

Incidentally, I get these electrodes for a really good price here, what
amounts to about US$10.00 apiece.  I think part of the low price is that
the wholesaler buys this in quantity and in the rolling from ingots the
labor cost is low.  The ingots are marked:  Degussa Feinsilber, .999,
our impression that it's processed in Switzerland.  A trusted assistant
hand carries the metal from the seller to the processer, then watches
the rolling.  If there was enough interest I could probably bring
electrodes in quantity when my family comes to the U.S. in July.
Thanks for your kind enlightenment.

Hi Reid,

Something may be wrong!!!

Example: when I did my development work on constant voltage CS using 14
oz
of DW using  2 #14 Ag wires 2 1/2 apart the initial current was 0.25 ma

which was the same reading the for the conductivity of the DW as read on
my
one cubic centimeter conductivity testor.

The same holds true for the initial readings of constant current
systems.
Until the c.c. regulator cuts in there is no difference between the two
systems as far as the current is concerned.

Did you by any chance read the meter incorrectly???

James,
Sorry I've been a bit slow to respond.  The first CS we made with this
water had a starting current of 4.5mA, and my impression is this
indicates low conductivity.  At some point we will test for TDS, but
based on the 4.5mA, and the beautiful CS, output at the end of an hour
it appears it will work fine for us.  Final current was 15mA.
Thanks,

A Colleague here searched out a plant that produces deionized water, the

method incredibly simple.  The system conisists of about twenty sections

of pvc pipe, each about 50 cms. long.  Inside each is a layer of some
type of resin and then a layer of glass wool.  The water is input into
the first section and progressively goes through to the last, coming out

deionized.  We will hope to put such a system in place for ourselves,
but in the meantime we're buying the water for cost, since it's a friend

who runs the plant.  We pay 9 cents per liter (US$0.09).  So who needs
steam distilled?

 charcoal filter, its still not pure or pathogenically safe to
 drink.   Deionized water means it has been given an equal number of
 H+ and OH-  ions ,in other words its neutral in the PH scale.
Distilled water is usually made PH neutral (deionized) by passing it
 thru an activated charcoal filter. The SEARS distiller does that.
Deionization does not make water safe to drink or clean, distilling
 will make the water clean (pure) and safe to drink ( sterile).
   There were postings on PH. They can be reposted if anyone wants them.

 Hi John,
  Your question is: Is it better to use?
  Your original question was: What is deionized water,(?)
  Is it (as) good to drink as (compared) to
  regular distilled water?
  Its your choice John,there is no such thing as better, its all in what
you want your water to be. If you have clean ,sterile, deionized water
and want to drink it ,thats fine. If you have clean,sterile,deionized
distilled water and you want to drink it,thats fine. Its your choice. If
your water can only claim its deionized and thats all its got going for
it I`d pass on it. Thats my choice. You make your own choice. :-)

  Bless youBob  Lee

  Hi John,
   Good question. Deionized water and distilled water are NOT the same
thing. Regular water can be deionized by running it thru an activated
charcoal filter, its still not pure or pathogenically safe to
drink.   Deionized water means it has been given an equal number of
H+ and OH-  ions ,in other words its neutral in the PH scale. 
   Distilled water is usually made PH neutral (deionized) by passing it
thru an activated charcoal filter. The SEARS distiller does that.
   Deionization does not make water safe to drink or clean, distilling
will make the water clean (pure) and safe to drink ( sterile).
