Here's a good write up to help explain it further. Why it's different in solid meetals versus say a luquid solution... http://amasci.com/amateur/elecdir.html Scott Adams -----Original Message----- From: Mike Monett [mailto:mrmon...@pstca.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 10:52 AM To: SilverList Subject: Re: CS>Was: Macular Degeneration; Is: Being Courteous olushola camara <camaramah...@gmail.com> wrote: > >On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 9:18 AM, Mike Monett <mrmon...@pstca.com> wrote: > >> But he forgot to tell people that electrons cannot flow in water, >> and therefore cannot reach pathogens to kill them. > >Tell that to the thousands of people electrocuted in their bathtub. >Current is the flow of charge; and guess what charge is? > >Olushola In metals, current flow is in the form of electrons. They are negatively charged and move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. In electrolytes, current flow is in theform of ions. Positively charged ions are usually metals, such as silver, calcium, sodium, potassium, zinc, copper, and so on. They flow from the positive terminal to the negative, and are called cations. They are balanced by an equal flow of negatively-charged ions that flow towards the anode. The are called anions. Examples are hydroxide, sulfur, etc. All life processes depend on the control of ions to perform various tasks and to build structures like bone, trees, etc. If electrons could flow in water, all life processes would immediately cease, since electron flow would bypass these processes.
