ANSWER: In completely pure water, you will not be able to see the beam of light in the water, even in a dark room. In turbid water (e.g. water with dust,lint or other particles in it) you will clearly see a bright beam of light as it traverses through the water. The light reflects off all the myriad of particles. In the case of colloidal silver generation, the ionic (dissolved) part of it will not cause the beam to be visible. But the very small silver particles also produced (colloids) will indeed reflect the light and be visible. Beam brightness will depend on concentration of particles (parts per million or PPM) but is more strongly dependant on the particle size. Bigger particles make brighter beams. Really big particles cause a sparkly appearance - pretty but not good. The general concensus is that the smaller the particles, the more effective the CS is in doing good stuff. Thus your brew should show a very faint light beam (i.e. only visible in a darkened room) if your brew is good. Technically, this means brew times should be long and current density should be low for low voltage DC generators that most people use. > > TIA > > Alison > in New Zealand > Your welcome, __Steve in USA -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
