Hello Folks: I will post some information on how I make colloidal gold until Mike says stop. I don't pretend to be an expert, but this is what works for me. Please do not reply or comment on this post since I have a mailstation that is limited in space. The first and what I feel to be the most important thing is the conductivity of the water. I developed my own method of testing which I will explain later. I use this method for testing the water before starting to avoid wasting time. I also have a digital wattmeter in line to monitor the watts (power) required to overcome the resistance of the water. As small amounts of gold or in the case of silver are deposited in the water the watts begin to drop. I find that if the water is totally pure it is less conductive and requires more power or watts to overcome the resistance and begins to heat up and will even come to a boil. If the water is too conductive it allows the voltage to easily flow and take less material off of the plates. When I say too conductive, that is sometimes a very low reading in PPM. So far, I have been speaking of using 15000 vac. The water conductivity also applys when making ionic silver. Each batch may come out different from the same brand of distilled water from two different containers
I test my water, and colloidals, with a device I made with a large DC capacitor and DC voltmeter. After charging the capacitor to 100 vdc and turning off the supply voltage the capacitor holds the charge. I then discharge the voltage into the solution I am testing and turn the switch off after one minute. The reading will be between zero and one hundred. I have determined what conductivity works best to produce whatever I am making. A higher voltage remaining in the capacitor indicates low conductivity. A lower voltage would indicate the water is more conductive and allowed the charge to drain off faster. Depending on the amount of solution, rod spacing and capacitor rating, this could change.
