I'm not Fred, but I agree with what you reported the article to say except for the difficulty of use. The instructions are lucid and error-free. If you can read and carefully follow simple directions it is a snap. I perceive the instructions as thorough and detailed, but not overly complicated. HV CS is a mighty complex physical state, and for an amateur to be able to make it at all is quite an achievement.
The overheating will be caused by maladjustment of the height of one or two of the electrodes above the surface of the water. If this goes on long enough it will cook---as in destroy---the transformer. This is easy to avoid, by placing the "arc bars" very close to the surface of the water. The 'pull and push' adjustment of that height by tweaking a gold-plated spring(s) is a minor pain-in-the-ass, but other configurations which have been tried for making the adjustment easier have caused a change in quality of the silver. After you do it a few times, it gets easier to estimate the amount of force necessary to get the right dangle. Some steam distilled water may be too pure for the unit to make its optimum yield [concentration] of sol. The maker of the device recommends a TDS reading of about 0.8 PPM, or equivalent mS in the start water. The unit can be run off batteries if you use a quality inverter. This does bump up the overall cost, but will enable you to make very high quality sol when the grid is---for whatever reason---not. Makers claims re: particle size are backed up with TEM flicks.

They found this to be true, unlike DC unit that generated quite a bit of sludge, HV unit created NO sludge, and noticed it used a lot less silver. They noticed it didn't Oxidize the silver like DC unit ( black crud on the silver) Area they did not like Complicated documentation First time use extremely difficult, slightest error in set up will cause unit to overheat WILL NOT RUN OFF BATTERIES, must have CLEAN AC power. They also stressed you must use steam distilled water for any CS production or you could generate poison. Fred is this correct? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
