I bet you could get by with only a few volts from some AA or AAA size batteries, or even some button cells... Maybe an N-size? Remember, the you're talking about germ-killing in plain tap water, rainwater, streamwater or whatever. It's already quite conductive, and it will only take a few *seconds* for enough silver ions to come off the "wand" to effectively generate a few ppm of silver in the water. The voltage needed for that would be quite low. You'd probably put in a small series resistor to protect the batteries a little and set a reasonable maximum current. Don't know how well it'd work, but would be a simple concept to try. > I'd probably cobble together two or three 9v batteries into a handle > holding a couple pieces of heavy gauge .999 or .9999 silver wire.
