Hello, Mike,
Here is the report of my first batch made with my 250 gram Mega-Anode:
I got a glass jar with a very wide mouth (11.5 cm, almost as large as the
inside diameter), put over the to a couple of japanese eating sticks, hanged
a kitchen cheap stainless steel tablespoon with a large, almost circular end
on one side, two centimeters away from the glass wall, and hanged the silver
ingot from two laundry clothes pins, made of plastic covered steel, on the
other side, equally separated from the glass wall 2 cm. The distance between
electrodes was 7.5 cm free space.
One clothes pin is enough to hold the ingot, but I used two because if it
falls to the bottom, the glass explodes. I also considered putting a round
plastic container cap in the bottom of the jar as another security option,
but liked this one better (and is cleaner).
I stripped the ends of a short piece of electric wire and put one end held
between the clip and the ingot, and the other one held by the anode
alligator clip.
I used 150 ml of a previous batch as a starter, and added 1100 ml of the
steam bi-distilled water that has given me excellent results.
I let it run for a total of four hours, taking written note of voltage and
milliamperes changes every ten minutes.
After 1.5 hours, the spoon (cathode) showed a thin milky looking smooth
covering. I purposedly did not do any cleaning or any stirring at any moment
along the process. The initial voltage was 18.3 V, the initial amperage was
0.45 mA. The final voltage was 16.5V, and the final amperage was 3.7 mA.
There was no beard formed on the cathode, nor any drifting fumes or falling
residues visible at any time, except half a dozen tiny silvery flakes
floating. There were very few tiny hydrogen bubbles around the edge of the
submerged round part of the spoon.
The ingot is aproximately 58mm by 34 mm by 12 mm, and 44 mm were inside the
water and 14 outside with the clips and wire attached.
The 1.25 liters batch turned out absolutely crystal clear, no yellow, no
residues. Putting the figures in Herxs Faraday Calculator they gave
aproximately 22 ppm.
This experience made me very happy, because it seems I can leave a large
enough batch running unattended for 3 or 4 hours and do many things in the
meantime, with more than satisfactory results. I will make another batch in
one or two days and compare results.
Than you, Mike, and also to Mark Siepak, for suggesting the ingot anode!!

Mike,
You really made me laugh!!
I could see myself with a fireman's hose, giving the silver initiation to a
croud passing in front of me, at one of the main avenues in Margarita
Island!!! I am sure I would immediately be in the Guinness Book of
Records!.
Now all I have to do is to get myself a mega alligator clip and start
experimenting. Maybe in a small size swimming pool I could be exercising
and stirring at the same time<grin...>.
I think I will make my first experiment this afternoon, but I will use a
gallon jar instead of the swimming pool. For the cathode, I will try a huge
kitchen stainless spoon I have that probably weights about the same as my
brand new almost half a pound anode. I will keep you informed.
Oh, boy, this is getting exciting!!

I think you have your electrode already in hand, Carlos. No need to
make it into wires, just use the ingot! Arrange things so the clip you
use to hold the ingot stays out of the water. Flip it end for end in
the clip every few batches to even out wear. The thing should last you
a lifetime, unless you're supplying the whole island! <grin>
Calculated crudely, that ingot should be good for 25000 liters of 10
ppm CS. Enough to drown in many times over...
Be well,
Mike D.
