Dear Mike: I make 5 gallons at a time using 3 volts and a 4.7 K ohm limiting resistor. I see no reason to rush the process. There is something magic at 3 volts. All my testing pointed at 3 volts being the optimum. Colloidal silver made this way will store indefinitely. I had one batch tested that was 6 months old and it still tested the same as a fresh batch.
The electrode spacing should be as far apart as possible so that the current path involves the maximum amount of water. This reduces the need for stirring. I put the sleeve on the negative electrode so that the current path would be longer! I would expose more than just 1/4 inch of wire, and possibly add more negative electrodes in a circle around the central positive electrode. I still think a #12 silver wire would work better than the coin. I sell one or two extra electrodes a year to my customers, depending how much colloidal silver they make, they do wear out.
