A Low Voltage DC powered CS generator can produce good quality, usable CS. Many are achieving excellent results using CS they make themselves with these types of generator systems. Recent discussion on the topic of limiting current flow in the generator is worth following; This is relative to electrode surface area & geometry. I am of the school of thought that 'faster is not necessarily better'; that limiting voltage, and limiting current flow relative to the specific silver electrode geometry, is a good approach to CS generation. I've put a lot of material on the website below, so I won't repeat it now: http://web.idirect.com/~showcase/althealth/csilver.htm DEFINING "GOOD CS" purity: only silver & water small particle size positively charged silver particles (ions) The Analytical equipment to analyze these characteristics is expensive and, no doubt, technical to operate properly. I personally do not have access to this equipment- wish I did! <g> Other list members (individuals not connected with any commercial venture) have reported results of testing by research facilities, however, which are saying that CS generated with a low voltage DC has a measured smaller particle size and greater amount of charged particles than that made with an HVAC technique.... Bob Lee posted info about current flow relative to electrode surface area recently - continues to offer technical info of great value. > And how do we treat > concerns about silver proteins, silver nitrate, and silver acetate > possibility in our CS? Best of Health, Ni. I know how I personally would proceed to bypass such concerns: If you start with pure distilled water and don't add other chemicals in an atempt to speed up the process (increase the initial conductivity), and pre-heat your water to boiling to drive off any possible disolved gasses in the water before starting the generation operation, all you should have is a colloidal silver suspension in water when you're done. How you store your CS after you're done making it may ultimately have more to do with your CS quality / potency... Another tidbit of info: a source recently mentioned that CS at about 15 to 16 PPM has a much better shelf life (when properly stored) than CS at much higher concentrations.... I'll try to obtain coppies of the supporting research / documentation when possible, and pass on what I can to the list. Be Well!
