So, Brooks, thank you for sharing your results. Your electron microscope runs seem to confirm what David Metcalf maintains: i.e. that the regardless of the temp, voltage, or waveform that as long as your making silver via the electrolysis method, the particle size remains constant.
I also am concerned about generating silver chloride when using salt in the distilled water. Colloidal silver is one thing, silver chloride is a compound, which apparently is at least slightly soluable in water. Metcalf maintains that the silver chloride doesn't matter, but I am not so sure. After all, we are drinking battery electrolyte to consume colloidal silver. I know, semantics. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the silver chloride is harmfull? I would hate to seem some study come out in about five years that proves that long term consumption of silver chloride produces (some horror story), insert here. What can you do.
