Nice post Dan,
You have a knack for simplifying the process of making colloidal silver.
When I attempt to do this I seem to be a unable to resist referring to
Faraday equations and so on. I would like very much to include your
explanation on my web page.

Subject: RE: CS>brewing question - and Rule of Thumb for CS Concentration
I use a Rule of Thumb for estimating the maximum concentration of CS
that you can produce. This is for a 1 cup volume, if you are making a
pint (2 cups) it takes twice as long. If your current is 2 milliamps
instead of 1 milliamp, it will take half as long, etc. You can use
simple math like you use for doubling or halving a recipe for cooking,
etc.
Silver deposition into the water is directly proportional to the current
- more current gives more silver in the water.
Current can be affected by
the surface area of the electrode - more area gives more current.
the spacing of the electrodes - closer electrodes gives more
current.
the conductivity of the water - very pure distilled water will give
low current, but it will increase as you make more CS.
- warmer water will be more conductive.
Concentration of CS (ppm) is equal to the amount of silver per volume of
water.
ppm is milligrams of silver per liter of water.
Also, some CS generators limit current, not letting it go over a set
amount, and some do not, in which case the silver is produced faster and
faster as you brew.
My Rule of Thumb states:
"The maximum concentration for 1 cup of CS made at 1 milliamp for one
hour would be 17ppm."
This assumes that the current is at 1 ma from start to finish of the
hour. (If it took 1 hour for the current to go from zero to 1 ma then
the concentration would be approximately half (8.5ppm) for that hour,
assuming that the current increase is reasonably linear at this stage.)
These values are approximate and indicate the *maximum* concentration
you can get. Your effective CS concentration will be somewhat less.
Using this value you can quickly get a rough estimate of your (max) CS
concentration by figuring out the number of cups in your jar, the run
time in hours, and the current in milliamps.

Subject: CS>brewing question
I understand why I have to have the electrodes at least 1 and
a half inches apart and also understand that closer together
will make a brew quicker, but probably less ppm. Can anyone
tell me how some generators take seven or eight hours to make
CS but others claim they make theirs in three hours or so?
This is a quart quantity. Would that mean that their ppm is
less? and how is this achieved. Many thanks. dee
