Jim and Marchall,

Thankyou for your replys. I talked to some people that are familiar with HV and 
have it working quite well now. I distill my own water from the mountain 
streams and glaciers of the yukon. This seems to make a big difference in the 
quality of the final product......it tastes almost sweet in a bitter silver 
kind of way...:-)
I have found that the bought distilled water is no good at all for this 
project. I am sure that to have the highest quality CS you have to distill your 
own water from undisterbed water sources away from any kind of pollution. If 
you have an idea on how to make collodial gold using the high voltage system i 
would like to discuss this with you as well. Thank you again for your kind 
input....
namaste
Bob

  Use the two HV lines to the electrodes.  Connect the HV center tap gound to 
the line gound (this is normally the case).  The voltage from each HV output to 
ground is 6 KV, and the voltage between them is 12 KV at no load.  At normal 
loading of 30 mA you will have about 9000 volts.

      Hi all, I purchaced an Allanson 12000 volt neon sign transformer and was 
wondering if anyone on the list would know of how to hook up the secondary 
system. It has 2 terminals for high voltage and a ground screw on the high 
voltage side as well as a ground screw on the low voltage side. The box says 
mid point grounded.My concern is what terminal on the secondary side should i 
hook the silver wires that go abouve the water to, and should the submerged bar 
be hooked to the secondary ground?Also would it be possible to hook the two 
high Voltage terminals together then bring a wire from them to the banana plug 
that has the suspeded silver electrodes (the ones abouve the water). I tryed it 
a couple different ways, but got a bit of fallout and silver specs in the water 
, noticable the next day. Anyone that may have info on this would be grreatly 
appreciated. thanks Bob
