It's back in there somewhere! <grin> > Please resist the urge to go to 9 volts, bin there done that! Spend > your money on a 4.7 K ohm resistor instead of the current limit diode. I'm going to see how the diode is actually performing, first. Right now with a batch seeded with about 20% from the previous batch, it's up to 130 microamps after only 4 hours... If it is anywhere near 270 uA by this evening I'll let it go 'til morning if necessary to confirm the current limit works or not. I suppose I could also bend the cathodes slightly closer to the coin to increase the early current flow a little bit. > http://meissnerresearch.com/info/silver-generator-pictures > > Look at the third picture down.

What I have is only about 1/4" of cathode sticking out past the sleeve, and it's set up to be about on a level with the center of the coin, one opposite each face. > Also it is "mandatory" for the negative electrode to be made out of > silver!

I used copper for the anodes and haven't noticed any difficulties, but then I haven't analyzed things very closely, either. What do you mean by "inconsistent results?" Be well, Mike D.
