Hello Steve,

Bob Lee [Tai-Pan] has compiled a very compehensive paper from diverse sources 
on the electorchemistry of DC Ag Collid generation.  Search the archive, or 
write Bob.

    Subject: CS>What is best constant current?
    
    
    Hi list,
    
    I am new to this list, but have designed and experimented with many CS 
generators over the last few years (I am an EE).  But I need some help with the 
electro-chemistry aspects.  For a DC generator, I have seen conflicting 
recommendations on the best constant current to use.  For example, one 
recommends 20 ma., and another says use less than 1 ma.  Some say particle size 
is smaller when less current and more time is used for a given PPM.  What is 
the list wisdom on the value of constant current to use?  
     
    I have made both low voltage DC generators (which requires a bit of baking 
soda for proper conductivity) and high voltage DC generators (which don't need 
any additive to the steam distilled water).  Is the optimum current the same 
for both low and high voltage constant current generators?
     
    Thanks,
    Steve Young
