Mike, Thanks for your help. Is there a size or model of current limiting resistor I should ask for. Tom Bellino -----Original Message----- From: M. G.

At the current you'll actually draw, the voltage will be somewhat higher, maybe 12-15 volts. But that's just fine. > We also have 3 l2 V 2ah batteries with > charger. Is it possible to use 2 of these as a power supply? Go ahead and use all three. Some of us have used four 9-volt batteries for 36 volts. You'll might want to throw a current limiting resistor in line with things, so that dead short current will not exceed a few milliamps. Assuming that you're using a couple of silver wire electrodes, this will prevent peak current from getting above a milliamp or so. It takes longer to brew this way, but you'll generate smaller particles on average. > Just recently joined the list and have a ton of questions and will > appreciate all the help I can get. Greatly confused by some of the > terms used in posts. This is just my two cents. Others will have their own suggestions, many of which have more to back them than I do! <grin> This CS biz, just like any other technical subject, has its own jargon. However, you'll discover after a while that we are far *less* prone to hand-waving and pseudo techno-babble than most of the marketing oriented sites out there, when it comes to the details of making CS. The entire reason this list formed in the first place was to help each other figure out what was hype and what was real in the confused mess of CS marketing out there. Today we have a number of vendors participating on the list. They are welcome, as long as they *don't* engage in bickering with each other over competing marketing ideas or overt promotion, and share their findings and experience with others freely. Read everything you can, and you'll begin to see the picture. Keep asking questions and decide for yourself what's best from among the answers. It's all experimental. So you'll have to take responsibility for the things you try. Welcome aboard, Tom. I wish you well. Mike D.
