----- Original Message ----- From: ROMEO RAABE <rra...@webtv.net> Need a bit more info Romeo. What is the open circuit voltage of your recharger, I'm guessing about 15V? What is the wetted depth of your electrodes, and what distance are they apart? How much water? The 'cobwebs', in the water or floating on the water? Had you disturbed the electrodes, withdrawn and replaced them, stirred the water? Was there a build up of 'sludge' or 'trees' on the negative electrode.
You will not necessarily see anything during generation, and the solution may be clear and may or may not gain a yellow colour some hours after the power is turned off. If you had kept going you may have found the solution gaining a yellow or gold colour. Clear CS has a smaller particle size than gold. A good idea is to obtain a cheap laser pointer to shine through the colloid, the particles of silver will show up as a beam of light.
