Hi Frankie The ohm meter goes between the batteries and one of the sliver wires. Make sure you switch it to mA before you connect it to the batteries. The meter comes with directions. If you go to Radio Shack they can help explain how to read voltage or amperage. Simply run your batch until the meter reads 3.6ma @ 36volts When it does disconnect it, you are done. Good Luck

Don't make it hard, it's as easy as the picture. 3 wires is all, simple as 1-2-3 -----Original Message----- From: joe bloggs [mailto:whatserna...@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 6:51 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>Battery CS Maker Thanks Garry. You've given me something to think about! I must say I'm a bit flummoxed. I'm just your average housewife type person who can't remember a sodding thing I learned in chemistry, except the bunson burner, LOL, but I'm learning loads reading about colloidal silver. So I have to buy an ohms meter, connect it to my batteries and find out what voltage, or is it amperage? What's the difference. Don't answer that one please, I'm confused enough as it is :). I tried using the calculator link you gave. Thanks for that. I'm sure it will make sense when I know what I'm doing with it. I typed in 36 volts (thinking that four 9v batteries would be 36v), and then typed in 10000 in the ohms box and got a reading of 0.0036 amps, which is the current. So basically all it does is divide the voltage by 10000. So once I get a reading for the current or the amperage, what then? I suppose this is something that you have to ACTUALLY DO, to understand any of the terminology or process. I mean, how does all this amperage etc. relate to ppm of CS? Doesn't the ppm of CS depend upon the TIME that the current is running through the water? Does this ohms meter measure ppm CS? I'm very confused as you can tell. LOL. Frankie ================== From: "Garry Hobart" <fireo...@nc.rr.com> You can get a quick down and dirty approximation of 5ppm by making cs to 15,000ohms or 10ppm by making it to 10,000ohms. Buy an inexpensive digital volt/ohm meter, then measure your actual battery voltage. Use ohms law to calculate the amperage (calculators available on the web) for either 10K or 15K ohms. Put your ohm meter in your circuit in series, and set to Ma (milliamps) and run your batch until the number you are reading is the same as the one the calculator gave you. No more guessing. Also a fish tank bubbler or other stirring method would be a good idea. Use only distilled water of course. Good luck. Oh, I shut of the power and gently remove either of the wires. Not sure if it makes a difference but there is a slight potential there... + --------------------------------------o silver wire ___battery - ----------OHM METER-------------------o silver wire 36v @ 10Kohms = 3.6Ma 36v @ 15Kohms = 2.4Ma Here's an ohms law calculator http://www.mcsquared.com/ohmframe.htm _________________________________________________________________ Could you be the guest MSN Movies presenter?
