I use a 3 nine generator, I like the do-it-myself thing.
I used some instructions like this, and used a flashlight to see-
otherwise I couldn't tell the yellowish wisps. I think with these
insructions you don't have to stir. Stirring does not affect the rate
of ion release. When you want a higher ppm brew, you can add one, it
helps keep the cute little ions away from each other and the other
pesky electrode, on which they will plate out, and be removed from your
solution.
For stirring, I got a nite light for the bathroom, the kind that uses a
clear xmas tree lightbulb, and put a hole in a bean dip can to put the
bulb through. Now I have a thermal stirrer I can set my jar on. A
pineapple can may be better, it is a little heavier.
Sometimes I still get a buildup of tan stuff on one electrode, and if I
disconnect the correct wire, it will get it to stick a little better so
it doesn't drift off into the water so much when I remove it. If I
disconnect the wrong wire, it will just make more. So I think I
disconnect the blackish wire, and leave the tan one hooked up. I forget
which polarity it is.
15 or 20 minutes to start sounds okay to me.
I got a margerine lid to hold my electrodes, and space them 2 inches or
1& 3/4 inches apart.
After awhile of making it this way, I decided to control the current
better, and went down to the local Ax Man and picked up a variable
resistor called a potentiometer and hooked it up in series. I got a
better grip on the current that way, and didn't have to watch it so
close. I think mine is 75 ohm. I also use a multimeter to check on how
things are going current wise, also in series. Then I got a
microseimans meter, and look out, she's going for the gold ring now!
I am one happy camper.
Good Luck, Kathryn

I'm saving up for a quality CS generator. In the meantime, I've
rigged up a home made generator using four 9v batteries. I also need
to buy a ppm reader, as I have no idea what I am producing.
Anyway, here's the question. I followed the instructions from the
silvermedicine website:
http://www.silvermedicine.org/construction.html
which said to remove the "negative" rod from the water first and then
wait about two minutes before Gently removing the positive rod from
the colloidal silver. Somewhere else I read that the 'positive' rod
should be removed first and then the negative a few minutes after.
Does anyone know which is the correct way of doing it?
I've got loads of other questions too. Hope you lot are patient, LOL.
On the Silvermedicine website, it said that to produce a quality 5ppm,
you should time the process for 5 minutes FROM WHEN YOU SEE THE WHISPY
BITS - which could take 15 or 20 minutes of nothing visible happening
(I know that the process starts the minute the electrodes are
connected, but this is not visible to the eye) However, when I shine
a light on the water, I can see whispy bits after a few minutes, but
without the light I can't see anything happening. So.... do I time
the 5 minutes from when I see the whispy bits WITHOUT the light? Or
do I time the 5 minutes from when I see the whispy bits using the
light? Questions, questions. Sorry.
I think this 5 minute timing depends upon NOT STIRRING. Am I right in
thinking that if I stir, then it will take longer than 5 minutes?
I know all of this is trial and error, and certain equipment is
needed, but right now I feel that I am making this stuff blind and
need loads of info.
