I went to the wishgranted site to see what this was all about. Here are my observations. The designers of this unit are to be applauded for recognizing the fact that current must be limited to less than 100 micro amps per square inch of surface area of silver. This was probably the reason they have chosen to use 28 gauge flat sheet instead of round wire. This gives them a much increased surface area for the amount of silver used. I calculate that the silver supplied with the generator is 0.342 ounces. This is roughly the same amount that is supplied with most generators in this price range and it is the equivalent in weight of two pieces of 12 gauge silver wire of 6 inches in length. The first few batches will show evidence of accelerated wear at the square corners as sharp points have a greater tendency to release ions, but this effect should not last past the first few batches. All so-called "fully automatic" units are designed by accepting a compromise. They are all designed to shut off the process when a certain cell voltage is achieved. The voltage between the two electrodes will steadily decrease as the resistance of the cell decreases. The resistance of the cell will decrease or the conductivity will increase with the number of silver ions that are in solution. In terms of conductivity this will equal the reading on a proper conductivity meter of MicroSiemens. In this case, a potentiometers is used two pick a certain voltage and the cell voltage is monitored until it equals the potentiometers voltage. This would be necessary with this unit as they have no control over the spacing of the electrodes, which directly influences the cell voltage versus the PPM. They have no facility for reversing the polarity of the unit. This means that at least half, possibly more depending on electrode spacing, of the silver will be wasted. With spacing this close, most of the silver ions will make it to the cathode and collect on it. When enough of them agglomerate they will fall to the bottom of the container. This is actually mentioned in the item's description. The silverpuppy, in contrast, periodically reverses the polarity to limit this effect and also provides a mechanism for stirring. If anyone is interested in really learning how to properly make colloidal silver here is a link to some posts on a forum that is populated by a highly critical people.
http://goldismoney.info/forums/showthread.php?t=371376 I have taken the approach of simply limiting the current amount and increasing the spacing between electrodes to the point where the generator can simply be left alone for 24 HRS. You need a Multimeter and a laser pointer, which I consider essential, to ascertain whether or not you've made anything at all. You will be able to reliably create any clear solution at a strength of 15 to 20 PPM that will remain stable in a clear glass container. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tel Tofflemire To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 10:28 PM Subject: Re: CS> I stand by the Colloidal Master as the Best. http://www.wishgranted.com This is their site, check it out, it is really a good deal now on sale for $129.00 Reg $149.00 Tel Tofflemire Dewey, AZ. I'm sure many members would be glad to hear details about the merits of the Colloid Master. Could you provide some? What makes it better than others, in your view? Also, have you used the distiller the company offers in a package deal? List maintainer: Mike Devour <[email protected]>
