Hi Tony,
I have calculated that I have around 750mm squared area per electrode.. or
just over 1 square inch per electrode... with 3 anodes... I would say that I
would split that over 3 would be around 0.5 ma per electrode approx and that
should be ok in terms of maintaining less than 1ma per inch squared.... so
that one goes down the suspect list.
I have been cleaning the electrodes with paper kitchen towels.... I think
that there may be bits of fluff leftover possibly....
I terms of silver purity... I have very little to check the precise voracity
of the Silver, however when I purchased the coin.. I did have it checked by
an XRF machine which confirmed that the surface at least was 99.99. I also
did some tests of 99.99% vs 92.5% with a silver testing kit.. bought for
this purpose... and it also collaborated that the wire was ok.......
I am heading towards an assumption that the carrying vessel used to
transport the distilled water to my may have been contaminated possibly (2L
fizzy drink bottle), paper towel fluff.. and too much current which seems to
be improved by creating more distance between and electrodes and tripling
the electrodes due to the thin wire.
I think its time to go on a famous auction site and hunt for a distiller to
call my own!..
I will report back once I get brewing again...
Thank you for you help Tony including Steve and Neville

Hi Asif,
Welcome.
The anode current should be limited to less than 1 mA per square inch (1
mA per 645 mm^2
). For fine results you could go much less than that, but going higher is
bound to be rough on
the electrode and to produce 'thingies' in the water.
Contaminaton of the cell is most likely causing the particles, traces of
detergent is the usual
culprit there , as is wiping the electrodes with paper or cloth but
anything that could float or
fall in could be the problem.
There are many variables : temperature, conductivity of the starting
water, voltage across the
cell, electrode distance apart, electrode aspect to each other. Nailing
down as many as
possible while varying just one will be very helpful while you are
learning.
Increasing temperature speeds up the reaction. Voltage vs Distance apart
are sort of inverse
proportion. current is proportional to particle size, sort of.
Have fun,
OK,
Tony

They are not appearing at the bottom of your emails? Wonder why?

Is 1.5ma too much..?
Is that why I got better results when I used 3 anodes?
Also is the silver width of 1.25mm ok?
