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!
