Hi Sharon, Our URL is: http://www.purifier.com.np but this is not an organization, per se, and I'm imagining that you'd like to make a tax deductable donation, to a 501 (c) 3, charitable organization. One route would be through my collaborators, Intenational Development Enterprises (IDE). IDE,

Reid There's probably no danger of vaporizing the silver. The boiling point of silver is 2210 deg Centigrade. I think that's higher than the firing temperature of pottery. You would know better than I about that. Cinder block is pretty porous, however, you're right..not much flow. Porousity

Friends, To let you know, several years ago I did try making water filters out of concrete. I used a very dry mix, like that of a concrete block, and even less water, in hopes there would be some interconnectedness of the pores/ voids/ fissures. However I just wasn't getting the flow. I'm

Thanks Marshall, I did use some CS from the previous batch, about 20 ml., but this didn't increase the conductivity. Note this was at the start of the second batch, where I had used no starter for the first batch. At the start of the third batch there was still little increase in conductivity

If you're not concerned with particle size at high concentrations, and apparently you're not as you seem happy with a red result, going with constant voltage along with the run away problem will definitely be a lot faster than using current controls. However, it's not a long shot to wind up

Hi Reid, I believe honey does not ionise, just dissolves. You could try a little experiment by measuring your initial conductivity without running the generator - if the two functions are separate - them add a small dollop of honey and see if you get a,change in conductivity. There's probably

Malcolm, Mike M., Everybody, My latest theory is that there are a couple of very different things happening in the flask. As I already mentioned it seems that the -very tiny- drop of honey just about doubled the reaction rate. I did check conductivity, both for the distilled water alone, and
