Dear Silver List
Comments
FYI
On using the power from the phone line.
There is a possibility that you could short out a home or work phone electrical
system using this approach. This especially true with older buildings or older
homes.
If your generator consists of basic (or simple) components such as a couple of
silver wires, alligator clips, and wire/connectors, or additional circuitry
such as diode and a resistor to drop current ala Bob Beck, substituting the
phone's power "rail" for batteries and using a saline or baking soda
"accelerant," one could possibly overload your wires by drawing more more
current through the lines than than were originally designed for, telephone use.
I can say a former manufacturer of such devices received several complaints of
this happening. The disgruntled home owners had to pay to have their houses to
be rewired for telephone service, the phone companies claim responsibility for
the telephone line from the exterior box to the telephone pole and not interior
wiring. The possibility of a fire, although remote was an additional liability.
(Yes there are ways electronically to prevent overloads to one' house wiring.)
It doesn't happen with everyone who use this type of power method, but suffice
to say, it is a possibility to contemplate.
As to:
">-- you don't have to use part of the old batch to make a new one.
No one said you did.
> You can if you want to, as it apparently speeds things up.
Is that hearsay evidence, speculation, or have you tried it ?"
Hearsay: Unverified information heard or received from another; rumor
The use of a "starter batch" of previously made colloidal silver to seed the
distilled water has been referenced enough on online forums, in CS generator
manufacturers instruction manuals, on websites, and in books on CS that one can
say that it is a given. It isn't considered unverified information. There is a
considerable body of literature that supports this use.
I am all for replicating previous experiments, however one need not re-invent
the wheel every time one goes to drive a car or use a bicycle or to tell
another individual that a car or bike will get them from point a to point b
"How do you define Quality, and what part of Quality, does
the mixing of CS actually effect?"
Quality: Degree or grade of excellence. When one is talking about something
that is to be either ingested, or used for a particular purpose one has an
expectation of some level of performance and purity.
Quality is both subjective and comparative. In essence, a judgmental assessment
between standard or idealized standards and pertaining to how a particular item
or property is rated by an individual, group, government agency or committee.
I define an A rating for a restaurant a reasonable expectation of not getting
food poisoning as opposed to a Grade C rating.
If quality is equated with Purity, then one would endeavor to acquire the best
of the available ingredients or products made from those ingredients produced
under local/cultural value systems for cleanliness (as rated from either
laboratory analysis, government rating systems, personal inspection, industrial
standards, etc) or available by trade in one's area, that one could reasonably
afford (if price is an object).
Some call the extremes of this approach "overkill." Using 99.99% Silver Wire,
Laboratory and Technical Grade Distilled water, a power conditioner/limiter
between my generator and the electrical outlet, etc this to one individual
would be considered highest quality. No effort was spared.
If one defines quality as producing the smallest particles possible, then using
a CS to seed the water (or adding saline or soda solutions) would increase the
transconductance of the water with the consequence of larger particles being
produced. This could be perceived as lower quality as opposed to using
distilled water alone with the consequent smaller particles produced.
(Here the point of diminishing returns with CS as a seed, the amount of silver
in suspension of the starter solution in to what volume of water and how long
the CS batch takes to "brew". These variables and others would effect the final
outcome, and could result in nearly as small particles in some instances, or
not in other instances.
Some Generators require a starter batch to produce CS and specify this as a
normal part of operation in the instruction manual.)
A CS generator that did not require such CS starter seed and produced smaller
particles would be perceived or judged as being Superior or higher Quality to
some.
The common use of NaCl or Soda produces sufficiently large particles that one
can sees the silver coming off one of the silver wire. These would be perceived
as lower quality using a smallest particles possible as the standard.
Any of the above may be of adequate utility to the given task, especially if
used externally, or used in the laundry, and in many cases internally. If
internal, than the larger particles of Salt or Soda would be lower Quality and
if one takes into account Silver Compounds were produced (not an ideal) than
the perception of quality is lower still.
"I have read that you can make CS in muddy water, blood, and beer. That may be
hear say evidence, as I have not tried it."
I have not tried it either.
When does an observed event step over the hearsay threshold into an accepted
fact? After multiple performed experiments published in peer reviewed, high
impact professional journals? Or repeated use by individuals?
As to Muddy Water, Blood, or Beer, the majority constituent is water, although
none of the above would be considered ideal for home use. The contaminants
contained within would also be perceived as tainted sources for CS liquids,
with the possible exception of the Beer. Something only to be used in an
emergency.
Most likely, Silver compounds would be formed, which by most standards
(commercial sale, private use, or for laboratory use) would not be considered
high quality;for a variety of reasons. Blood and Muddy Water would be potential
health risks and would be forbidden by regulation (blood )or minimum standards
for public health (Muddy water) Both would be considered tainted.
Electrodes have been implanted into the human vascular system and have produced
Silver ions experimentally, so I would at least hazard a guess that blood being
used is not hearsay.
I wouldn't recommend it for home use either.
Best Regards,
Steve
