HI everyone, Once again, the issue of what is "dissolved", "ionic", or a "charged colloidal particle" arises.
Bruce does think the silver made by his devices has a positive charge. He does not think the charge is generated in the same manner as the charge exists on a single Ag atom which is presenting its valence charge. I believe when Bruce speaks of "ionic silver" he means a single atom, dissolved in the water, with its outer shell receptive to bonding with another atom. A colloidal particle is positive, but not as reactive as the monoatomic silver. How the positive charge is created is not know by me. Since charge is quantatized(sp?) , it means there is either a missing electron or an extra proton somewhere. Or, something else? Could an ionized hydrogen nucleus from the water be somehow stuck to the silver cluster? I wish I could go back to school...

Wouldn't this be referring to a 'charge'? He mentions small adjustments during the batching that would help prevent ionization such as readjusting arc bars above the water so that the unit continues to pull cones throughout the batch instead of arcing. States the particiles are too big to dissolve and too small to aggregate and clump out and settle. Ian -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
