There are several ways of making High Voltage AC colloidal silver. One of the first invetigated was to suspend one of the electrodes very slightly above the surface of the water. When power was applied, the high electrical tension would draw a cone of water up from the surface to engulf the bottom of the suspended electrode. The problem Bob investigated was when the cone drops away (which happens when the sol continuity increases to a certain level), an arc would establish between the electrode and the water surface. He discovered that a compound would occur in the humid air that would contaminate the CS and make it acidic as I recall. I don't remember the compound. Think it was nitric oxide. Bob insisted that to avoid this reaction, a CO2 blanket above the water surface would suffice. Other methods that submerge both electrodes also avoid the "problem".
