Has anyone used a low, ie 25 volts, AC power source for a CS generator?
Any ideas about posslble success if using? Seems to me it would compare
with the swapping DC method. Thanks.

The experimental circuit, I am working with,
has an optional mode that averages
almost zero volts
(voltage times time, in one direction
is almost balanced by
voltage times time, in the other direction,
about 100 times per second)
though the voltages are very unsymmetrical.
(low voltage in one direction, for a longer time,
followed by higher voltage for a much shorter time,
in the other direction).
But even this approximation of pure AC
really slows the production of silver ions
in the water.
It takes a week to produce a quart of silver water,
instead of a day,
when the reverse voltage is blocked.
Evidently, if you reverse the voltage
faster than the silver can get away from the anode,
most of the ions just turn around and go back
to where they came from, each cycle.
I suspect, if the solution is being well stirred,
the reversals could come faster
without the production rate going down so severely.
But I am guessing.
By the way, the mode with rapid reversals
does keep the electrodes much cleaner
than the unidirectional pulse mode does.
So, if I can figure out how to speed it up,
its lower electrical efficiency
may be worth while.
