Debbie, Are these your complete set of plans? If so, you might be
well-served to consider the following: (1) If these are high capacity
batteries (100-600 amp), then, without any current-limiting feature.....it
is a potentially very dangerous scheme. The reason being that ANY
inadvertant touching---even momentarily---will draw extremely high currents
and can pose a physical hazard. It would be very prudent to insert some
form of current limiter in series with your power supply. (2) Secondly, it
might be useful to outline, a little more specifically, how you intend to
keep the electrodes properly separated from each other-----throughout their
entire length. Lastly, I have a question. Have you, or the person who
designed this scheme, done any calculations as to the nominal current
demand between two six foot electrodes powered by 30 vdc, approximately
1.5" apart....or any specific distance? Additionally, to establish any
reliable reference for current demand, one would need a fairly accurate
determination of the ppm of silver at the highest concentration
anticipated. Just a word of caution, 30 vdc from a high current source can
be very dangerous as a source for burning someone (e.g. a common
iron-nickel type # 20 wire, 24" long will heat to temperatures high enough
to cause the wire to melt in less than 10 seconds from a conventional 24
volt automotive battery source of 800-900 cranking amps. Persons
experimenting with this system might do well to remember these cautions.
Please forgive the extnsive post. Brooks Bradley.
