Hi Mike: I enjoy reading your great posts.
However, there is one other significan problem to throw a monkey wrench in the equations: Nitrogen. Even if a distilled water is "nitrogen free", as soon as the distilled water is subject to open air, small amounts of nitrogen are adsorbed into the water. This may be one reason why the Faraday Equation calculation for CS production is not reliable. "'Ole" Bob ( http://www. hvacsilver.com ), a list member on another list, and I spent a considerable amount of time analysing various batches of silver, utilizing DC and HVAC, testing Faraday's equation. In some cases, the results were close. In others, the measured results were off by more than 30%. Now, Ole Bob uses a spectrophotometer to analyse silver content, and this is not the most ideal analytical method to use, but the discrepancies Bob documented on numerous occassion have also -- although not as frequently -- been demonstrated on batches from analytical laboratories as well. I know CS producers who have spent alot of time and energy attempting to eliminate the nitrogen variable from the CS production process. Nitrogen can really mess with the production; more so with HVAC methods than with low current DC systems, but the variable is still present.
