Hi Marshall,

It is interesting to me that you mention silver acetate. There is a member on this list selling a generator using two 1.5 volt batteries for a total of three volts as a Power Supply. I have been pondering how this could possibly work for some time. A careful reading of his instructions for use on his website shows that he instructs the users to clean the rods before using with vinegar and for them to be wet with the vinegar when they are inserted into the distilled water. Could this explain the use of only three volts? Isn't silver acetate used as an insecticide?

Best regards,

Arnold

That would certainly produce some silver acetate, since there would be a few drops of acetic acid in the mix. Silver acetate is listed with the epa as a registered psetacide, although I was unable to find what pests it is used for.

        Ah, "electrolytes" -- silver chloride, probably.
        That might give one the blues...

    Couldn't have been silver chloride at 200 ppm.  Silver chloride
    only has a solubility of around 0.8 ppm.  More likely silver
    citrate, silver acetate, or silver nitrate which all have good
    solubility.
