Someone once told me "The BEST is the enemy of the GOOD." I would elaborate and say that the BEST is the enemy of the Possible, the Practical, the Useful, et cetera. BEST is relative, at best. Each one has characteristics that are useful and less useful. Determine how you are going to clean the electrodes, how you want to hold them, how you are going to get the surface area you desire. What shape can you use, what will be the physical stability of the electrodes, etc. Sharp edges can be rounded off, wire can be bent into shapes and forms, sheet can be curved...

In your post, you state . ...... "Sheet electrodes are greatly superior to wire as far as we are concerned because of the greatly enhanced area & we believe that this produces a greater proportion of ICS. We have seen medical reports that ICS is much more deadly to pathogenic organisms than the de-ionized CS. 700 + organisms at last count ."........... Others have posted that wire is superior, because sheet stock causes buildup of silver oxide at the sharp edges. Also, I note that most of the commercially available CS generators, except the silver-gen, are constructed with wire electrodes. A vendor of an engineered CS generator argues that sheet stock is the cheap way out that his competition has chosen. You see that there is much contradiction and confusion here. Would someone who knows the facts please state them in a definitive way so that all of us newbies can construct a good generator? Which is really best? Sheet or Wire???? Peter
