Hi Mike, That's a good check on the calculations. ;-)) I don't claim to be a scientist or any kind of math expert...
I noticed you added a factor for electrode waste. I don't think that is really necessary since with that kind of water flow all silver should go into the water, and since it is to be mixed with "food" who knows what sort of chemistry it will have - ions or particles, who cares?... So the total silver is what I was concentrating on. It looks like you can buy 100 and 1000 gram ingots of silver. Just pound them out or have a jeweler flatten them through some sort of roller press. Yes, I was on the low end of the silver cost estimate. Cheap at even twice the price. Dan -----Original Message----- From: M. G.

It looks like we've just checked each other's math, Dan! I didn't calculate the current.

I'd guesstimate about $6 (CD) per treatment. What's a factor of 2 when you're having fun? > Correct me if my math is wrong, please... I think we did pretty good to come out as close as we did. Now to see what Terry has to say. Be well, Mike D.
