Dear list members, Yesterday was my first day that I received emails of this group, so as a new member let me introduce myself. I'am Robert 63yrs retired for about 8years. Educated as a chemist I worked more than 30 years in nuclear energy en pharmaceutical industry. About 4-5 years ago I saw the publications on CS by Dr.Robert Beck and Metcalf and knowing the bactericidal effect of silver I became interested immediately. One of my hobbies was working with silver and construction of Beck's CS generator was a piece of cake. In the Netherlands where I live you can get .9995 silver but there is a charge of about 120$ for making this purity regardless the quantity. So I decided to buy a 1 kilogram of 2,0mm wire, sufficient for about 120 generators. I made several hundreds of the battery type and seventy with a.o. a transformer 220V AC->40V DV I supplied friends and family with both the generator and information about the use and application of CS. Over 400 people started with my help with CS and many have phoned me with enthousiast reactions. Although I ask them to phone me only when their results are not already mentioned in the literature, these calls became a burden costing me about 2-3 days per week. Than I trained someone else in the construction of the battery CS-generator which relieved me of many calls. So I became a source of CS information (in dutch) as well and that is one of the reasons for my participation in this group.
Another reason is that I recently learned about the differences in particle size dependent on the water and CS making procedure, of which I would like to learn more. But it was my search for information on the construction of a colloidal gold generator in another group that someone forwarded me a few of your emails, and made me aware of this list. I know that I have to use a HV trafo for neontubes (220V input) but what is the required output voltage? And do we use AC or DC output? I can buy here 220V-> 8kV but I have read 8 + 15kV in a commercial advertisement. My questions are about the same as Satchid's, can someone help me with the details for construction, and are their different possibilities and consequently different results? Greetings RB
