For the purpose of these comments I'll assume your wires are 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart, 3 to 4 inches deep, in something like a glass of water, distilled, at room temperature. You're probably in the "a few ppm" range, probably less than 5 and maybe as little as 1 or 2... (just my wild-a**ed-guess!) > I decided to let the voltage run up a bit since the post I saw > showed no significance in particle size up to 12 ma. Just to keep things straight, you decided to run the *current* up a bit, right? The current, in milliamps, is what you should be measuring. The voltage is what drives the current, and is measured in volts. The voltage is not adjustable in your setup, assuming your using batteries or a fixed supply and no lamp or other current limiter in series with the cell. Using those terms precisely is a good thing! <GRIN> Now back to business... > I ran a batch to about 7 ma and there was a good bit of the black > stuff floating around in the water.

If you are careful you can keep that stuff from getting into the water for the most part. Don't stir anything up, and let the dark fluffy stuff form on the electrodes. Then, you can gently pull them out of the water without it shaking loose. Wipe the electrodes clean on a paper napkin or a lint-free cloth, stir your solution, then put the electrodes back in. Do this every few minutes and you can keep *most* of the junk out. What does get away from you will sink to the bottom, allowing you to pour off the rest, or can be filtered out as you suggest. > Thanks John jfost...@cableone.net You're welcome. I hope it helps.
