There is absloutely no difference between the electron flow from a battery used in a CS Generator, and the electrons which might flow from any AC converter!!! Any statements otherwise might fall closer to marketing hype tp promote a high dollar product - that's basic chemistry & physics! > Their silver-they put it in a plastic bottle,in direct sunlight for 6 > months and it had not deteriorated..Now how many CS makers can make that > claim ? Light acts on silver; this is also basic physics. What evidence of deterioration are they looking for - a pile of dead "boddies" in the bottom of their jar? (just kidding..grin) Loss of charge on silver particles would constitute deterioration.... how are they measuring for that? > > Also DC produced CS at low current is not that good...(this is what they > are saying) This type of statement is what sounds again like marketing hype, and makes no sense to me at all, from a scientific standpoint! This is misinformation of the worst type! Don't swallow it whole without looking further!!! To become a colloidal silver particle , an atom (or group of silver atoms) acquire a positive charge at the silver anode, and move away from that anode into solution, as a Ag+ ion ... Electrons are being donated by the CATHODE to allow this to happen, and this process can occur at as little as 2 volts potential difference at the electrodes in a highly conductive solution.... Colloidal silver is, by definition, a 'colloidal suspension', of minute particles of pure silver; each particle has a positive charge. The extremely small particle size, combined with the charge, is what keeps it in suspension. These are, by definition, positively charged silver IONS. PLEASE read Peter Lindemann's article on CS again, for clarification on how light refracts from extremely fine colloidal silver particles to produce the yellow color; again, this is basic physics!!! http://www.elixa.com/silver/lindmn.htm > Thus where does that leave us ?

PPM can be measured with a properly calibrated TDS meter, measuring Total Disolved Solids by means of a Conductivity measurement. The catch here is calibrating a standard TDS meter so that it's reading actually reflects the PPM of Colloidal Silver..... > > The site of Amazing Devices(lost their URL...) has a CS generator for about > $149 I think,running on AC..Has anyone check it up ? > > Yours,ryb.... Wishfull Marketing Hype should not be allowed to replace basic scientific facts in this process. Some days I'm a bit amazed at how little is understood. I'll try to share as much of my experience and experimental results as possible, to help clarify these issues. There's lots more I want to include on my websirte page on 'Making Colloidal Silver'. Yes, I sell products, too; if that doesn't offend you , you may want to visit the page at http://web.idirect.com/~showcase/althealth/makecs.htm Comments & questions are always welcome! Bruce K.
