HELP!!!! I am attempting to make my own “Nano particle colloidal silver generator” for my own personal use. I have COPD (emphysema, & asthmatic bronchitis) and wish to live another day...I have four choices of voltage to make my own generator and would love for someone in the know to advise me on a voltage choice.... constant voltage 9vdc 400 ma 3.6 watts......6vdc 300 ma 1.8 watts.....9vdc 300 ma 2.7 watts and constant ac voltage 15v 360 ma 5.4 watts.....
Any of those supplies will brew a mixture of ionic and colloidal solver. The higher the voltage, the faster pure water will begin to be loaded with silver ions. The current and wattage of the supplies are pretty unimportant, because the electrolytic cell will limit the current to a much lower value than any of those supplies are capable of delivering. Once the silver ion content starts to rise and the solution gets more conductive, might you need to limit the current (e.g. add a series resistor to use up some of the voltage, so the cell voltage will go down, as the conductivity goes up) The Exception is the AC supply. AC is much less efficient (for a given voltage and solution current) at raising the silver ion content and later, turning those ions into nano particles. But it also wastes less silver from the electrodes as silver oxide or large silver particles that fall to the bottom. I am presently experimenting with non-symmetrical AC waveforms to see if there is some compromise that retains more of the efficiency of DC, while also retaining the low silver waste of AC. But, I think you should start out with a DC supply, because it is very predictable and always works.
can anyone advise me on selecting various powers as the product begin to perk faster........I have heard that ac voltage makes for a more even solution of particles, with fewer Ions...and the that the amperage is better if kept low through out the process? What would be wrong with starting with the highest and as the nano particles begin to accumulate move to a lower voltage/ma, would that keep the particle in the nano range? .....how about it? anyone?....thanks
Adding a resistor in series with the circuit does this automatically, but switching supply voltages, mid brew works, also. A very handy accessory is a pocket pen sized conductivity probe that lets you check on the silver ion concentration and stop the process, consistently at a reasonable conductivity just before lots of large silver particles begin to form on the cathode. It doesn't eve need to be precisely calibrated. Just take hourly check with notes about what the electrodes look like. You will quickly figure out what conductivity reading just precedes large particle production (mud falling to the bottom) for the supply you have chosen. -- Regards, John Popelish -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
