Hi, Dave. Here are two updates to my previous post with a bit more information.

Actually, the black film that collects on the anode and cathode has been identified by others as silver oxide. Now, silver particles and silver oxide are both black, and both conduct electricity. These people are much more competent than me, so I trust their identification as silver oxide. But the mist that streams away from the cathode may be something else. Ken (Ode Coyote) calls it an "ion cloud". This seems plausible, but why doesn't it dissipate due to the ion charge? Normally, when I got the mist with any of my previous processes, the solution turned yellow and plated out. Coyote Enterprises has some excellent photos on his site showing this. There is a picture of the plateout at the bottom of this page. Click on the link after the phrase "Eventually, it sticks to the sides of the container." http://silverpuppy.com/colloidal%20silver%20and%20the%20process.html Here is a beautiful sequence showing the mist dissipating after thermal stirring is turned on: http://silverpuppy.com/thermal%20stir%20sequence.html I get the same kind of mist with the ULVDC process without stirring, but it doesn't seem to want to plate out. I was sure the last batch I made with a 9V battery and a 51k series resistor would plate out, since it generated a great deal of mist. It is a bit turbid, and the salt test shows it is quite strong, but there is no sign of yellowing. In fact, none of the batches I have made since I started the ULVDC process have shown any sign of turning yellow and plating out. The salt test show it keeps the same strength as it had originally.

So the lifetime of a free electron is very short. > What happens to them after that is the Art of Colloidal Silver!
