Ivan - suppose one used LVDC and an acid solution to produce ionic gold solution. Are there not chemical reduction methods that might not produce an acceptably fine gold colloid? I imagine rapid stirring may be needed when adding, eg, sodium carbonate (just guessing here). Traditional CG has been made that way I think. It would certainly avoid some of the Frankenstein HVAC requirements, including it seems boiling the water at times before completing a run.
