Hi Asif, Welcome. The anode current should be limited to less than 1 mA per square inch (1 mA per 645 mm^2 ). For fine results you could go much less than that, but going higher is bound to be rough on the electrode and to produce 'thingies' in the water. Contaminaton of the cell is most

From your description it sounds like your current was 1.5 mA initially. Since your maximum voltage is 30 volts, I would expect the current to be no more than a few microamps at the start, and approach or hit the 1.5 mA near the end of brewing. If it is running 1.5 mA initially, then the water

Hi Marshall, I agree with your points. To remedy this I am currently in the process of purchasing a water distiller. I will report back once I am able to brew again! many thanks for your reply. On 7 Jun 2011, at 18:38, Marshall mdud...@king-cart.com wrote: From your description it sounds

Use a LM334 current regulator. You can set the current much lower. I have good results with 0.2 mA in a quart of H2O for 24 hours, no stirring needed. Steve Y. _ From: Asif Nathekar [mailto:asifnathe...@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2011 12:28 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com

Hi Asif, I don't believe you mentioned how long your brew process goes, but here's a couple of things I'd be looking into: a) Taking the electrodes out to 4cm apart. b) Using a larger volume brew vessel for that dimension electrodes. I brew a litre or more at a time using electrodes shorter
