Subject: CS>The importance of low current


This my first post and I am gonna be building my generator very soon.  I must 
decide now, what I should buy. 
 
There's an article online by a guy "lightman" who adds a current limiting 
device to his generator.
 
A reader added that he keeps the "CURRENT" around .28 milliamps max, using a 
30VDC power supply.  I will be using a 12VDC power supply.  Having to wait 
longer because of a low current is OK with me, if in fact having the smaller 
particles is a good thing.  
 
This guy also uses an aquarium air pump, claiming it helps keep the silver 
particles smaller.
 
I know absolutely nothing about electronics but the idea of using a "high 
frequency pulsed DC supply" just seems logical to me.  I am going to try and 
build the "Bruce K. Stenulson" version he builds with the "Experimenters 
Socket".

Some folks use a TDC meter and yet others a PWT?
 
1.  Is running at such low CURRENT really beneficial?  What changes would I 
have to make to the "Stenelson" pulsed rig to achieve this low current?
2.  Does the air pump improve the CS?
# I don't brew any EIS of volume over 250ml (8 ounces) without stirring.
 
3.  Which gives a more accurate reading, a TDC meter or a PWT?  Is it safe to 
assume that if I check the resistance of the CS in the jar with my multi-meter 
and, stop the process at the same reading each time, that my PPM should be very 
similar with each batch?
# I don't use a PWT meter, however, I do use a HM Digital EC/TDS/TEMP meter, HM 
Digital TDS-3 meter, and a HANNA TDS meter, and  measure readings at regular 
timed intervals with all three - and there is NOTHING substantial between any 
of them in the scheme of things regarding home produced EIS.
 
4.  If I wanted to make a half-gallon at a time, would I need to change 
anything?
# I'd be incorporating some form of stirring method if it were me.
 
Purity of water is the primary number one concern!

Thank you guys for tolerating such a long post!
