Good Afternoon List Members.
Following is a list of the components required for enabling the
protocol we used in the experimental researches I outlined last evening.
The air-brush kit we used, was obtained from a mail-order concern
specializing in myriad hardware/electrical/hand-tool items. Their quality is
toward the low-end industrial, but quite adequate for the home/hobby user. Our
machine shop/proto-type builders have used them for years. The company is
Harbor Freight, located in Camarillo, California. They now have outlets in one
or two other cities. We obtained our air-brush kits from the Fort Worth, Texas
store (we are located in Fort Worth). The stock number is #6131. Our
purchasing person informed me this item cost us less than $10.00 each, and the
last 20 purchased cost less than $8.00. As of last Wednesday, this store still
had some of these units. Included in the kit are two liquid -supply bottles
(one 1/2 and one 1 oz), one air hose which couples between the pressure
regulator and the air-brush assembly; one air pressure regulator; and the
air-brush assembly itself. The additional parts required are for a hose
assembly which facilitates coupling the input side of the air pressure
regulator with the external oxygen supply used to power the nebulizer.
Note: PURCHASE BRASS FITTINGS ONLY, oxygen is the pre-eminent
combustion supporter.
All of these components can be obtained from any commercial
outlet stocking pneumatic system parts.
This hose assembly includes:
One 1/4" Compression X 1/8" Male NPT fitting (this is very
important, for without it you cannot connect the O2 hose to the air-brush
pressure regulator)
One 1/4" Barb X 1/8" NPTF Fitting
One 1/4" X 9/16 RH Oxygen Fitting (will have a barb fitting
on one end and the female coupling on the other)
Approximately 4 feet of any good !/4 I.D. 200+ PSI air
hose. Tell the clerk you are going to use oxygen in the hose.
Assemble the parts by screwing the Compression fitting into
the 1/4" Barb X 1/8" Male NPT fitting. Do not worry, only one end of the
Compression fitting is compatible with the Barb fitting. Next, insert the barb
end of this fitting assemby into the air hose. Push the hose on until it is
jam against the shoulder of the fitting. Any small, screw or compression-type
clamp may be used to add security to the hose/fitting end. Next, insert the
barb end of the Oxygen fitting into the remaining hose end and secure with any
satisfactory clamp. Your assembly is now complete. Next, carefully screw
the exposed male end of the Compression fitting into the bottom of the
air-brush pressure regulator. Now connect the small-diameter air-line between
the air-brush assembly and the pressure regulator (it is fool-proof, as there
is nowhere else this tiny hose can connect).
Select the small fluid-supply bottle and fill approximately
75-80% of capacity with 5-10 ppm Colloidal Silver and insert the angled tip
assembly into the bottom of the air-brush assembly. You are now ready to
connect to your O2 supply and operate.
Obtain a small medical O2 bottle (anywhere around 1/2 to 1
cubic feet capacity) or any size O2 Arc welding system bottle. Be sure to
have a Two-stage regulator attached to the O2 bottle. Now, connect the 9/16"
Oxygen-fitting to the O2 outlet from the Two-stage regulator (also foo-proof,
as there is nowhere else to connect). Now SLOWLY open the O2 control knob on
the O2 regulator and set the inlet prssure to your nebulizer assembly to a
Maximum of 35 Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI). Next, screw the AIR-BRUSH air
pressure regulator control knob (the tiny knob on top of the air pressure
regulator) all the way closed.. Now, open the control knob about 2 and
one-half turns. Next, trigger the control botton on the Air-brush head until
you see a fine fog each time you press down on the
button. The mist is so fine, you may have to hold it against a dark back
ground to see it. You are now ready to go.
Our best results were obtained by the volunteer inserting the
discharge nozzle about 1 inch inside their OPEN mouth and breathing deep---an
long---on each inhalation; holding the breath for a count of 3 or 4 and then
executing a complete exhalation. Ideally, there should be about 1/4" circular
clearance around the air-brush head (while inside the mouth), as this provides
the optimum venturi action for incorporating air with the O2. In acute
circumstances, the volunteer can close his/her mouth completely around the
nozzle and breathe 100% O2------works great.
Remember NEVER USE PURE OXYGEN NEAR OPEN FLAMES OR COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS. To do so would make this protocol quite irrelevant.
Good luck to all, and if you have any questions just post them and
I will try to answer. Sincerely. Brooks Bradley. p.s. Any serviceable
air-brush assembly could be used. However, try to obtain one that will yield
the smallest size particle possible.
