Hi Jason.
I'm aware of the pH issue but I'm using low voltage and low current. (1mA)
To make highly ionic CS the emphasis in the past has always been to use
pure distilled water. (Mike Monnet was almost obsessed by it and
believed the problem could be solved by ensuring everything was ultra,
ultra clean. He never succeeded as far as I know).
The problem is that CS in pure water has a saturation point of about 24
ppm. Try as we might, nothing is going to change that. Its a
chemical/physical barrier thats impossible to breach. The quest to make
highly ionic CS in pure water is probably a waste of time.
I believe the answer is to find a conductive liquid medium that
facilitates the electrical dissolution of silver but has a much higher
saturation point so it does not force the silver ions to combine into
particles.
I'm experimenting with something at the moment. Dissolving 100 ppm of
silver into this common liquid raised the conductivity 100uS (exactly as
predicted by a Faraday calc). Dissolving a further 100 ppm into the
batch did not raise the uS by another 100 but it still didnt create a TE
either. So where did the silver go?
100ppm raised the uS by 100 as predicted. (My assumption is that its 100
ppm of ionic CS). The other 100ppm 'dissappeared'. One thought I have is
that it made particles so small they do not show in the frequency of a
red laser.
Comments welcome.

Hi David:
That is interesting. One thing to check: pH.
I spoke with an associate who claimed to be making high PPM silver
solutions, but I strongly suspect that it was silver nitrate produced
from using HVAC, pulling nitrogen from the air into the distilled water.
If you can start with a neutral pH distilled water, and end with close
to a neutral distilled water, that would be very fascinating to me.
Interesting stuff!

Hello Jason
I now how you feel but I'm guilty of not responding myself. Its too hard
and I wonder anyone will read it anyway.
By the way, I've recently been making high ppm CS. The total ppm is 200
as calculated by (Herx's) Faraday equation. The ionic strength is 100
(measurable with a uS meter) and the other 100 ppm is colloidal but the
particles are so small they do not show in a red laser beam. Its crystal
clear and very interesting! I'm laughing to myself that this is Frank
Key's Mesosilver and Mike Monnet's high ppm ionic CS all in one! Older
members would laugh of the irony of that.
