  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.
 
Best Regards,

Mike Monett
