Jeff said:Do you believe that DC generates the most effective CS? Anyone have any anecdotal info on DC vs AC? Fred - HVAC produces an inferior product - non-ionic and non-colloidal (although possibly better for topical uses due to the high PPM possible!)
Jeff said: Has anyone tried HVDC? Fred - For why? In a electrochemical process requiring just a few volts, why bother? Would you consider shaving with a 1/2HP electric hedge trimmer! Jeff said: Why is one electrode suspended above the electrolyte for the HVAC process? Fred - So you can impress your friends with the mysticism? I don't know, but it will act as a voltage dropping device (so why did we use so high a voltage?)! Try calculating the voltage drop on the water - if you have 10KV and your solution was 30K ohm you would be passing 1/3 amp! Now the transformer is current limiting to maybe 33 mills (zero volts out), so maybe 1/10 of the 10KV is impressed on the water - so the HV is needed mostly for the electrostatic energy to help stir things up (blast the sludge) and build a "neato mystical" cone. Jeff said: What force causes the cone of water in the HVAC process? Fred - Very powerful electrostatic forces! We used to build a lot of electrostatic precipitators for industry and in some cases used 50KV AC instead of 150KV DC. DC is better if the material can take on a charge but AC will move a ton of product , as the energy input is a combination of resistive and capacitive current but also ionization of the carrier medium (usually air) will also increase current draw or energy input! Jeff said: Would HVDC create a cone? Fred - Yes, but you would have less electrostatic action and need much higher KV and unless you had a large storeage capacitor (little current limiting) it would rise to discharge the PS and fall back as the voltage collapsed. Why did you want a cone anyway? f...@health2us.com -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
