Hi Ann, I looked briefly at the Colloid Master Model 777 Universal colloidal silver generator you wondered about: http://www.wishgranted.com/Colloidal_Silver_Generator.html Here are some items in quotes copied from that page: "Standard electrodes that come with the unit are 6 inches long by 1/2 inch wide approximately 28 gauge, .999 silver electrodes, this size electrode should be used to make quart size batches." Flat electrodes concentrate the current at the edges. This makes larger particles than with round 12 ga wire. The solution will have greater tendency to turn yellow and plate out. "Notice a small tab of the electrode faces outward to attach to (See picture above). The tab can also point downward and may ease keeping the electrodes straight down in the jar once the electrode wires are attached." The electrodes are not fastened to anything. This means you are responsible for keeping them flat, aligned and a uniform distance apart. This will turn out to be an impossible task. "Currently on sale for $ 144.00 USD. Suggested retail price is $199.00. Comes with: Universal wall transformer runs on 110 volts AC, 220 volts AC. Will also run on 12 volt battery with special adapter. Electrodes, hook up connector wires, travel bag, instructions and 30 day money back guarantee, 1 year no fee parts and workmanship warranty! One quart standard size batches. Portable size, 2 inches high, 6 inches wide, 7 inches long." The price is way too high for what they offer. "Regarding stirring, the Colloid Master (R) employs a bi-directional current pattern to the electrodes. This causes the particles to be moved into the solution without the use of a stirrer. We addressed this issue long before others even thought to consider it." Bidirectional current has been around for a long time. I'm surprised they claim to have invented it. Take it with a grain of salt. "The Colloid Master was designed so that a common canning jar. Lab glass is expensive and not required for this process. When the electrodes are suspended into the jar by the rim of the jar, and the electrodes are on opposite sides of the jar, there is then a 2 1/2 inch distance between them." Again, they point out you have to keep the electrodes properly positioned yourself. This is very difficult to do with thin sheet. You will fiddle with it and always wonder if it is affecting the cs. It probably is, if the electronics are poor. "The process will speed up considerably if the distance is reduced to two inches. This can be accomplished using a plastic lid that fits the jar, such as from a mayonnaise jar, cutting 3/4 inch slits in the lid at a distance of 2 inches apart. Each electrode can then be slid into the jar and a distance of 2 inches, or other experimental distances for different metals can be maintained." They confirm that keeping a consistent spacing is fairly important. But for the price, why do you have to make a lid yourself? "What are the reasons that production time can vary?" "Production time and parts per million in general will vary primarily due to factors such as water quality, power source, having the jar too close to 110 - 220 Volt AC power lines or anything that creates moving magnetic fields such as a 220 Volt AC motors e.g. clothes dryer etc.. Surprisingly one of the biggest concerns is the SUN, in particular solar events. This may seem odd at first, however; we have monitored numerous solar events that correlate to observed changes in the colloidal production time and resulting colloid for more than five years at the time of this writing." This is baloney. If solar events were not stopped by the ionosphere, we would all be dead. If they believe it can affect cs production, then they have serious problems in their electronics, and are trying to put the blame on something nobody can control. Don't buy it. "Solar events are a big issue, especially during this time. This is due to the fact that we are in an extended solar maximum period, the sun is sending lots of high speed particles and x-rays our way. We have noticed that if the events are very dramatic, the process as well as the colloid can be effected. It is easy to visually identify the effects caused by solar occurrences such as coronal mass ejection that are directed to and effect Earth. This is discussed in the manual." "You can monitor the solar events yourself here: Here is a link for you to access a very good data base for monitoring solar events and the geomagnetic field:" More baloney. "Important information about colloid production!" "It is best to keep the clear glass canning jar container or lab glass that the colloid is being made in a dark place or covered to protect it from exposure to light. The use of a STEEL container such as a coffee can or other containers such as large metal popcorn corn containers like those found at Walmart (R). These types of containers are thought to be made of tin, however; tin is very expensive and steel is the metal most commonly used. The reason steel is the first choice as a light shield around the jar during production is that steel may also deflect the effects emitted by the sun during solar events." More baloney. The reason they are afraid of the light is the larger particles produced at the edge of the thin electrodes may have a tendency to agglomerate. As Ole Bob will tell you, properly made cs is insensitive to light. This tells you they are not doing it right. I'd go with the silverpuppy. It has 12 ga rods in a U-shape. This gives a good uniform field, and is strong enough to maintain shape with handling. The electrodes are attached to the unit, so they won't get out of alignment. The Coyote knows what he is doing, and his unit is the best I've seen. Also quite a bit less expensive.
