I think perhaps strapping on magnets during CS brewing could improve some things. FYI, I just did an experiment where I dissolved 4.5 times the practical limit of solubility of sodium ascorbate by strapping positive pole magnets to the water! Magnets definitely change the properties of the water. I believe this could possibly be used to increase the ratio of silver ions to particles, as well as increase the absolute ion content in our brews.
Copying this discussion from another forum: "Here is how I see it. You strap positive poles and 4 sides of the mason jar. You add your distilled water and start brewing. The distilled water could have already been positive charged before hand as well. Silver ions start coming into the water. Two cases: case 1: If the magnets have no effect on the silver ions movement, then all we have is lower surface tension water which makes things dissolve more easily. AgOH molecules are formed at the electrodes by whatever explanations we care to make. These molecules clump together and form particles, which represent about 10% of the total mass of silver. AgOH is soluble in water at 13PPM. The more we are able to increase this solubility, the more chance these AgOH will have chance to dissolve again before clumping and forming particles. So that means the first benefit magnets may provide is that a higher percentage of the silver be end up in ions and a lower percentage may end up in particles. The second benefit is that we may be able to reach a higher absolute value of silver ions as we are trying to do with the "SilverCell" process. We are forced to call it quits when the rate at which silver ions are entering solution becomes equal to the rate at which AgOH is irreversibly forming. If the magnets can encourage some AgOH to dissolve again by increasing its solubility, then this effectively decreasese the rate at which AgOH is irreversibly forming. This raises the roof on who much silver ions we can force into solution. case 2: In this case, let us assume magnets can alter the movement of silver ions. I have no idea whether or not it can. But if Mike's comments are true, perhaps silver ions may just move here and there. So what if they? Let silver ions move wherever they want. I am not sure what that would be a problem. So in this case, I still think the two benefits I cited in case 1 would still hold. Then we consider what happens after finishing the brew. You now have a solution of super high concentration silver ions in water that is positively charged. I do not know anything about whether we want negative or positive, but let us assume we want negative (I am just infering form Peter's comments). We used positive during brewing to allow for greatest solubilities. Now we switch the poles to negatively charge the water prior to ingestion. The question is whether or not any of the ions will precipitate out? I am quite sure the answer is no. There does not exist any known theoretical limit of solubility of silver ions! The solubility limit of silver ions are not what limit our ability to put silver ions in solution. A bunch on totally unrelated technical issues is what limits our ability to do so. So I think that yes, you could then negatively charge the colloidal silver." David -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
