To be effective, the >waveform MUST remain a square wave with fast rise and fall times! I absolutely agree!!!! (that's a 4-shriek agreement) That's the downfall of the commercial units I bought and tested. None of them were able to produce a square wave when "attached" to the body. I have one of the micro-oscilloscopes (sold at Radio Shack) permanently attached to my "main" Zapper to continuously monitor the waveform. (This scope isn't very good for accurate voltage measurements, but nicely shows the waveform's leading edge on a 1" square screen.) >1.

Using a 1000 Ohm current limiting resistor, the max current available at 12 volts is 12 mA. The 555 can easily supply that current. >4.

I tried that, and it gets somewhat "tingly." RF burns are possible (burns are possible with 6 volt pulses when the electrodes are against the cheeks, just below the eye, and have a small surface area or uneven conductivity to the skin). >5.

Most power supplies are big enough to produce good square waves (except for 9 volt batteries) in my tests. It's the output waveform that's important. The power spikes needed by the 555 haven't shown up in the output in my tests. >7. Most important of all . . .

I assume you're using some kind of wetted sleeve over the pipes. Also, soap works better than alcohol for cleaning. Alcohol works, but removes too much oil from the skin, allowing the airborne bacteria to almost instantly collect on your skin with no "friendly" bacteria to fight them off -- since you've killed the friendly stuff with alcohol. (I participated in a study, at the U of Minn. public health labs, that tested the effectiveness of different skin cleaning techniques prior to surgery, vaccinations, etc. Green soap and several other soaps were far better than alcohol or other skin cleaners. Most doctors apparently don't know of that research, even though the report was issued in 1959.) -- Dean -- from (almost) Duh Moyn (CDP, KB0ZDF) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
