Initially, I used insulated copper wire wound around a plastic funnel to
keep it from floating when trying out the thermal chimney stirring idea.
[which worked quite well ]
I noticed that the exposed ends had collected a pretty thick black fuzz
on them. "What" ?
Batch of EIS @ 20 uS
Drop in 1 inch length of bare shiny copper wire.
In a few days, TE has vanished and wire looks a bit black.
Several day later, meter reading goes way low and wire looks fuzzy/bubbly
black.
Remove wire and rub, still shiny.
Look at reside. A mixture of silvery smear and black oxides.
Check water, nothing much there but water.
Copper apparently acts as a catalyst in ionic/colloidal silver water.
I've not noticed that any other metal does that, but then, I haven't
looked into it very far.
I do know that a nickel plated magnet has no such effect at all, even
after several months.
I found glass funnels that don't float. End of story.
Using copper for the [+] cathode seems to enhance Silver Hydroxide
formation pretty dramatically till it becomes silver plated..
I was playing with an *inertial acceleration from gravity vs Cathode
attraction to Ions * stirring idea, [electrical stirring] not considering
the difference between Ions and particles, but observing directional
effects of particles being moved laterally BY ions in motion, using
concentric ring electrodes of different diameters at different elevations,
using copper for the larger/lower ring Cathode.
It DID interrupt that pesky "ion track" arc that was leaving hard to remove
deposits on the bottom, but didn't stir as well as thermal convection
currents for whole container uniformity.

Dear Ode:
Would you please elaborate! What do you think is going on?
Is it copper or any metallic substance?
How about a silver wire?

Drop a piece of copper wire into a batch of EIS / CS , wait a week or so
and observe using eyeballs and a meter.
..no more silver in the water.
