I think that we can divide the users of colloidal silver into 3 groups. The
first group are those that want to try to make it themselves. Whether for
reasons of economics, or the fact that they become utterly confused by the
many conflicting claims of different suppliers doesn't really matter. There
are many sources on the web, explaining the 3 or 4 9V battery methods and
this is their general starting point. Some of these sources contain what I
consider bad information, such as the addition of salt to the starting
water. Others do not stress the importance of the quality of the distilled
water that you start with. There is a seller on eBay who proudly proclaims
that his 3 9 battery contraption is superior because it has constant
voltage. It would seem that he is not aquinted with the concept of "current
density". I would like to incorporate a page or two on our website that will
encompass my best advice for these people. I sell the 9999 silver in large
quantities to manufacturers of colloidal silver generators and I am happy
that they are going the extra distance to supply their customers with the
best available metal. From what I can see most of the customers that start
off experimenting with nine volt batteries and alligator clips end up
purchasing a generator. They have found out for themselves the benefits of
using colloidal silver. We have all we can handle, thankfully, at this time,
operating our laser pointer business. If I can do something on the website
that will decrease the time I spend on the phone with people who are just
starting out in making CS, it would be a good thing for me, as well as my
customers. To those of you making CS generators with our silver, please PM
me your web addresses and as long as you don't claim that your electrons are
more intelligent or energetic than the other guys we will put a link to you
as a recommended supplier. You are doing a good job of taking care of the
second group, as far as I can see. The third group, those that are afraid
to make their own, are left to the mercy of the snake oil salesmen.

Hi All,
I don't have the previous postings but the value of 1-2 milliamps/Sq In is
a good place be when designing electrodes and current densities. Having
said that, do be careful with the shape of the electrodes. Any
discontinuities, such as the edges of a silver strip, are sure to draw
more current than the surrounding metal and blow you current density
calculations. Use a nice cylindrical (round wire) for best performance.
Arnold, are you related to Alvine Beland of AtlasNova fame? That's where
we get our silver wire as do a lot of generator MFGs. Are you designing a
new system?
Regards,
Fred

A figure of nine microamperes per square millimeter is lodged somewhere
in my brain but I can't remember how we arrived at that. Has anyone
kept a record of these postings?
Few of us have all the messages. I have many thousands. If you have a
subject line, or a unique phrase, I can find them in short order.
And there are a few techies left. But few of us have a micro amp meter.
I would hope you have milliamps and micro amps mixed up.
I could likely rig a micro amp measurement using some of my $100 digital
panel meters if I thought it to be that important.
You can make excellent CS and never measure micro amps. Few people even
measure milliamps.
How much are you measuring at the present?
