Have you considered using copper tubing as the
cathode and silver wire strung down the middle as the
anode?<
Yes, but I couldn't figure out how to connect an
electrical flow to the rod running down the middle.
Take a section and put tee's on each end, then put in a copper to pvc
converter, and cap them. Run the wire through the caps.
Also, the metal pipe would hide the silver rod, making
it impossible to tell when it needed to be replaced.
The clear plastic tubing appeals to me because it can
be monitored how the silver rod is thinning.
True. You should be able to get a pretty good end of life on the wire by
monitoring the voltage drop, it should increase significantly as the
wire thins down.
My friend came by yesterday with samples of CS that
had been brewed for 5 minutes and also 2 minutes. He
brought one of the silver wires with him to show me.
After 5 batches of CS - the first at 10 minutes, 2 at
5 minutes and 2 at 2 minutes, the 14 guage silver wire
is half dissolved. This means a lot of silver in the
water, more than he needs. Today he will try 1 minute.
He's quite satisfied with this because he is able to
brew 20 gallons every 10-15 minutes (including filling
and emptying the brewing jars), which he is adding to
the food.
His well water is obviously rich in minerals and very
conductive. This makes me think he can brew adequate
ppm CS with the flow-through unit I have in mind.
I have to figure out how to measure the approximate
ppm of silver he is brewing. The problem is that the
water is already very high ppm with other minerals.
The conductance type of testers only measured the
"ionic" silver, not the colloidal?? Yet, almost
certainly, most of what he is producing is colloidal
because of using well water.
Any ideas on how to get a basic idea?
I don't know any easy way to measure it, I think the best way would be
to monitor the current and figure the amount from the equations, should
come within 20% or so of the actual amount.
