Marshall, You seem so sure that silver oxide exists in CS solutions ...why?
There is little, if any, molecular oxygen atoms in d. water, and none produced at the anode, if silver is being ionised there as silver ionises at 0.79V as opposed to the 1.6V (or there abouts) required to rip oxygen from water molecules. It is my understanding that the colour of CS solutions is a result of the particle size. The greyish build up on the cathode is simply reduced silver ions, ie silver metal fluff.

Perhaps the bubbler whisks away silver before it has a chance to burn. If that's the case, it's the movement of water that's important. Burnt silver - that's silver oxide, of course, which adds color to CS. The darker the color, the more of it, so I understand. Also, what do you notice in the way of oxide buildup on the electrode: the grayish solid stuff. Less or none? What is your generator type? LVDC or otherwise, what voltage/amperage. I'm new to all this and trying to find out what is the best setup. One other thing: what is your concentration (ppm). My understanding is that the clearer the liquid, the finer the particles. Thanks for replying. Like I said, I'm new to all this and am really grateful for any input any of you may have out there on getting a quality generator up and running. Thanks, Marshall PS Melvin Wolf says that adding a very small drop of honey in distilled water helps a lot. Something about how it "fixes" the electrical/magnetic properties of the water and allows for good conduction without adding electrolyte. Saw this on a web site. What do you know about this?

I put the bubblier in the bottom of the jar, I use oxygen rated hose designed for breathing bottled ox. with a stone defuser on bottom to slow the flow and make tiny bubbles. Some on the list said it was not the best way to do it, so I tested for 2 days 48 hrs. using bubblier and not , my best CS was using the bubbler...with out I got particles so large you could see them , with bubblier, crystal clear.,,,,good luck...
