Hi list, I am new to this list, but have designed and experimented with many CS generators over the last few years (I am an EE). But I need some help with the electro-chemistry aspects. For a DC generator, I have seen conflicting recommendations on the best constant current to use. For example, one recommends 20 ma., and another says use less than 1 ma. Some say particle size is smaller when less current and more time is used for a given PPM. What is the list wisdom on the value of constant current to use?
I have made both low voltage DC generators (which requires a bit of baking soda for proper conductivity) and high voltage DC generators (which don't need any additive to the steam distilled water). Is the optimum current the same for both low and high voltage constant current generators? Thanks, Steve Young
