So now add 599,641 non-magnetic bits for every magnet and see how often one magnet strikes another, especially as the glue will bind non-magnetic bits to each magnet. This is about the number of water molecules for every silver ion in 10ppm CS. 20ppm has 299,820 water molecules for each silver ion.
The fact that it might be difficult for some to generate higher concentrations of colloidal silver with small particle size says more about the generating apparatus and process than the ability of the sol to maintain discrete ions. There is of course a constant aggregation at any concentration, but the speed of this can be very, very slow, especially when you realise that the ions are surrounded by a layer of water molecules, aligned to neutralise the charge at the edge of the diffuse double layer, and that the ions and surrounding water layer, which it drags with it, must strike each other with a particular energy and orientation before the van der Waals attractive force will bind them together. Add to this the seeming requirement to form ordered fractal arrangements of a certain number of particles or ions, and you can see why this process may take years. A concentration will be reached when the process of aggregation is in the order of days or even hours, but that concentration I think would be far higher than can be manufactured by the best electrolysis equipment. I believe it is the limitation of generators and processes, that cause large particle size and instability of CS, and is not an inherent characteristic of the silver sol at these concentrations. Ivan. PS. I wonder what happens to aggregates of silver ions in the stomach. I am coming to the view that the particles are broken up into discrete ions in the acid environment and are absorbed as such.
