The golden color comes from the type of distilled water you use. I used one type for a long time then changed to another. The only difference was the word SPRING water. Besides that they both were the same. Distilled water has a very high resistance. They use it in atomic power plants as an insulator (thnak you Nancy for that info). When the voltage starts to move from one silver rod to the other the water becomes less resistant. Thus you stir the water to distribute the particals so it becomes more resistant. This was shown to be true by someone in a past post. If the rods touch the sides of the glass or the bottom of the glass the glass acts like a conductor thus causing less resistance. The first thing that needs to be done is to find out the corilation between voltage an amps. Meaning does voltage produce the smallest partical size or is it amps. My guess would be amps. BUT you have to have voltage to push the electrons through the distilled water because it is resistant. Second thing to consider is does the ionic or colliodal particals float to the top. If so then a person might be able to get around the having to stir by insulating the silver wire all except the end of it and sticking the wire down as close to the bottom as possable. There are two other problems that arised here. Using plastic and how far from the bottom is the best. Insulating the wire is a simple task a person could use heat shrink wrap wire coating. Just some thoughts.. Chuck; ALLWAYS rinse your glasses out with distilled water before making two or three times. If not just the left over moisture from washing a glass can cause an increase in resistance... Take Care Reid -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
