If you mean one of the strands of a stranded wire, that would make no difference. If you mean the whole wire it would. That should be very easy to troubleshoot, simply use a meter to measure where you are losing the voltage, and the resistance between the wires in the water.

I've been making my own colloidal silver for a few years. Recently I started another batch. Just a simple pint with 2 wires and 3 9V batteries, as usual. I did what I always do, but after the normal amount of time, there was nothing going on. No tyndale effect, no darkening of the wires, no yellowing of the water, even after letting it "cook" lots longer! I changed the batteries, bought new connections, and fresh distilled water from Walmart. Still the same thing --- nothing! When I put the new connections on the alligator clips, one of the tiny wires got broken, but the rest were okay. Would that make a difference?
Anyone have any bright ideas?
I am befuddled
