Hi Joost, and List!, At 12:54 PM 8/28/97 +0800, you wrote: >Particle size and water quality
There is a definate relationship! This is what the Sota Newsletter mentioned. >The discribtion how to make cs that came with my silver maker says that >NO salt should be used and that the particle size is depended on the >quality of the distiled water. Sota is really far ahead of most generator companies. Personally, I would go with the Sota data. I still don't use the salt, and don't think it is necessary, though. I think it is optional. The quality of the distilled water is essential though. I have always distilled my own, and filtered it through activated charcoal (you can get a filter like this at the grocery store or a dept.store). Also, there is the matter of PH...the higher the alkalinity....the higher the parts per million concentration (all other things held constant). My distilled water is around a PH of 6...pretty acid. This can be brought down with something like bicarbonate of soda. If too alkaline, a little apple cider vinegar can change it the other way. I have been generating with water that is very pure, but also very acid. Rather than add anything to the water, I just used it as is.So it will work either way, but there is an ideal way to do it for specific results. Sota has a specific method published in their newsletter this month. Why not ask them to post their newsletter on their website? If they get a lot of requests....they just may do it on a regular basis. :) >It says that when shining with a flashlight through the water while the >process is envolving one should see a GOLDEN coloured cloud.

Any opinions. I can NOT use this CS?? >what dies it mean when A GREY cloud is showing is the particle size BIGGER >or SMALLER than with a GOLDEN COLORED CLOUD ?? >I have a virus so I need the smallest particle size possible > I would get a distiller and distill myself, if convenient. If not, then test the available water for PH and filter it well through activated charcoal. Experiment with adjusting the PH, and filter it through the activated charcoal after the adjustment to remove any large particles. This might help. Also, make sure your batteries are charged all the way, or that your source of electricity is operating at it's specified level. My adaptors burn out regularly, and sometimes slowly. This changes the current over the period and varies the results of the silver productiton. Sometimes radically! I am going to a heavy duty power supply that will be reliable. A power supply in the range of 30 Volts DC and 400 Milamperes is available through Mouser Electronics ,a mail order parts supply house. It runs around $30 and will outlast several adaptors, I am sure. I highly suspect that using higher voltage than this will result in a greater particle size. Sort of like using a firehose to spray a hill of dirt, compared to a gentle rain shower. The hill errodes both ways, but one has larger particles flying all over the place. You might experiment, once you get these things adjusted, with adding a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to the water (about 10/8 ounces of water) has a similar effect as using ozonated water, which has gotten very good results for many in the past. Some producers of CS insist that ozonated water is a key in the process. When I end up with a gray batch, which happens from time to time (as adaptors burn out, especially), I use it for topical applications (except for the eyes and ears, nose, mouth, etc)...on scratches, bumps, bruises, etc. It works well as an antiseptic, not as well as the golden colored (smaller particle size) solutions, but well enough to not throw it out! In a real pinch, I don't see why it couldn't be taken internally. I certainly would, in an emergency, or when there isn't time to make a new batch. If you have terrible things in your water, then that would be different. I know my water is free of contaminants, and I don't use salt, so when it is gray, it is large particles, not contaminants that are responsible for the off color. So, Joost, keep us posted, I am sure there will be lots of help from the nice people on the Silver List for you! Hope this helped. God Bless, Scott >any idea's thanks much >joost hong kong > > > >
