Following is a list of the components required for enabling the protocol we used in the experimental researches I outlined last evening. The air-brush kit we used, was obtained from a mail-order concern specializing in myriad hardware/electrical/hand-tool items. Their quality is toward the low-end industrial, but quite adequate for the home/hobby user. Our machine shop/proto-type builders have used them for years. The company is Harbor Freight, located in Camarillo, California. They now have outlets in one or two other cities. We obtained our air-brush kits from the Fort Worth, Texas store (we are located in Fort Worth). The stock number is #6131. Our purchasing person informed me this item cost us less than $10.00 each, and the last 20 purchased cost less than $8.00. As of last Wednesday, this store still had some of these units. Included in the kit are two liquid -supply bottles (one 1/2 and one 1 oz), one air hose which couples between the pressure regulator and the air-brush assembly; one air pressure regulator; and the air-brush assembly itself. The additional parts required are for a hose assembly which facilitates coupling the input side of the air pressure regulator with the external oxygen supply used to power the nebulizer. Note: PURCHASE BRASS FITTINGS ONLY, oxygen is the pre-eminent combustion supporter. All of these components can be obtained from any commercial outlet stocking pneumatic system parts. This hose assembly includes: One 1/4" Compression X 1/8" Male NPT fitting (this is very important, for without it you cannot connect the O2 hose to the air-brush pressure regulator) One 1/4" Barb X 1/8" NPTF Fitting One 1/4" X 9/16 RH Oxygen Fitting (will have a barb fitting on one end and the female coupling on the other) Approximately 4 feet of any good !/4 I.D. 200+ PSI air hose. Tell the clerk you are going to use oxygen in the hose. Assemble the parts by screwing the Compression fitting into the 1/4" Barb X 1/8" Male NPT fitting. Do not worry, only one end of the Compression fitting is compatible with the Barb fitting. Next, insert the barb end of this fitting assemby into the air hose. Push the hose on until it is jam against the shoulder of the fitting. Any small, screw or compression-type clamp may be used to add security to the hose/fitting end. Next, insert the barb end of the Oxygen fitting into the remaining hose end and secure with any satisfactory clamp. Your assembly is now complete. Next, carefully screw the exposed male end of the Compression fitting into the bottom of the air-brush pressure regulator. Now connect the small-diameter air-line between the air-brush assembly and the pressure regulator (it is fool-proof, as there is nowhere else this tiny hose can connect). Select the small fluid-supply bottle and fill approximately 75-80% of capacity with 5-10 ppm Colloidal Silver and insert the angled tip assembly into the bottom of the air-brush assembly. You are now ready to connect to your O2 supply and operate. Obtain a small medical O2 bottle (anywhere around 1/2 to 1 cubic feet capacity) or any size O2 Arc welding system bottle. Be sure to have a Two-stage regulator attached to the O2 bottle. Now, connect the 9/16" Oxygen-fitting to the O2 outlet from the Two-stage regulator (also foo-proof, as there is nowhere else to connect). Now SLOWLY open the O2 control knob on the O2 regulator and set the inlet prssure to your nebulizer assembly to a Maximum of 35 Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI). Next, screw the AIR-BRUSH air pressure regulator control knob (the tiny knob on top of the air pressure regulator) all the way closed.. Now, open the control knob about 2 and one-half turns. Next, trigger the control botton on the Air-brush head until you see a fine fog each time you press down on the button. The mist is so fine, you may have to hold it against a dark back ground to see it. You are now ready to go. Our best results were obtained by the volunteer inserting the discharge nozzle about 1 inch inside their OPEN mouth and breathing deep---an long---on each inhalation; holding the breath for a count of 3 or 4 and then executing a complete exhalation. Ideally, there should be about 1/4" circular clearance around the air-brush head (while inside the mouth), as this provides the optimum venturi action for incorporating air with the O2. In acute circumstances, the volunteer can close his/her mouth completely around the nozzle and breathe 100% O2------works great. Remember NEVER USE PURE OXYGEN NEAR OPEN FLAMES OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. To do so would make this protocol quite irrelevant. Good luck to all, and if you have any questions just post them and I will try to answer. Sincerely. Brooks Bradley. p.s. Any serviceable air-brush assembly could be used. However, try to obtain one that will yield the smallest size particle possible. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
