Hi, Yes there is lots of "information" out there. The silvergen designed and made by Trem and the silverpuppy designed and made by Ode Coyote are generally agreed by long-time CS list members to be two of the very best available, and they're priced reasonably.
Just for ducks, here's some terminology: EIS is the acromyn for Electrically Isolated Silver, a term invented by "Ole Bob" a long-time silver list member and experimenter, to distinguish it from some other ways of making finely divided silver, like powdered silver which is a much coarser form of particle than what is produced by the LVDC or HVDC (Low Voltage Direct Current or High Voltage Direct Current) methods. Another supposed method for making a silver "sol" is chemical, but these usually introduce other matter into the finished product which range from an interference to absorbtion to - rarely - a poison such as silver nitrate. A colloid is a colloid is a colloid; that means the particles, whether they are ions or not, are so small that they won't be able to settle out of the water they're contained in. The reason they can't is that Brownian motion - you should look it up - keeps the particles jiggling and bumping about so they can't. If you've ever watched the little particles of dust in a beam of sunshine jiggling and bumping around you've seen Brownian motion in action. An ion may be as small as a molecule of an element, or a thousand molecules of that element stuck together, or even a compound of two or a few elements. What makes "it" an ion is that it has an electric charge; for a metal like Silver or Sodium or Calcium the charge is usually "positive" meaning that particle has lost an electron or so and "wants" it back so it can be neutral in charge; meanwhile, it's an ion. Our whole bodily chemistry depends on jillions upon jillions of ionic chemical exchanges where some element or compound swaps electrons with some other, then goes somewhere else within us and swaps electrons with some other; again, and again, and again, and . . . . . . . . . Color is another confusion factor. Generally clear is best, slight yellow tinge is fine; no harm. Muddy or red, skip it. Arguments about whether the ionic or particulate form is really the most effective form are usually not worth your time, since any home-made Colloidal Silver will contain both. Any supposed distinction between "silverwater" and colloidal silver is semantic gobbledegook; avoid it and it's practitioners. As for making your own generator; did you ever build an electronics kit? They're not too hard to do, usually, but you need some good skills like soldering, electronic parts color coding and other distinguishing marks and characteristicsknowledge, some little tools like a good soldering iron, small diagonal cutters, long-nose pliers, blade and philips screwdrivers, some insulated wire, a little of this, a little of that . . . . I don't know of any "kit" put out for making a CS generator and so containing all the many itty-bitty parts and a circuit board to mount them on, and instructions for how to do it. Beginning to feel like you've just opened Pandora's Box?? Sorry, but there's so much snow-job hype out there just because CS aka EIS does work for many and it's become the new "Snake Oil". But there's no doubt that any you make yourself from Trem's or Ode's devices will beat almost any "magic silver fairy dust solution" you buy, hands down! And overall, tons cheaper in the long run.
