Hi Ron: Thank you for your reply.
I believe that we are all learning and if we do not ask questions, I presume that it would take a long time to learn. Yes I know a little bit about current. I was not aware of what you were using as Silver ( size, etc) You may have mentionned it, but if you did I missed it. I am using Silver wire #14, approx 4 inches long with 3 1/4 inches in water. And this is what I get approx. 120 to 150 microamps at the start with distilled water. If I heat the water, I double this amount at the start. The same applies with the distance of electrodes. It will change the current slightly. But according to feedback on this list the best distance is between 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches. The current never went up to 6MA yet on the few batches that I have produced so far. The maximum was approx. 4MA at the end of the batch (2 1/2 hrs) with the small size wire that I am using. Ron, if you are using, larger than # 14 wire, I would appreciate to know where you obtain it. Pls send the reply to my private e-mail if you can. Thanks again.
