Constant current has nothing to do with the results, Steve! Those that
claim to use it
really do not, since starting current is of course much lower! Try current
limiting!
As an EE, you should have deduced that the logical measurement is current
density, since everyone uses different size electrodes and voltage, etc! We
run our
unit to a maximum of 5 ma. with 2.25 Sq. In. electrode projected area (not
the total
surface area of both electrodes (9), as some quote!). Our Cs is very consistent
from batch to batch and free of crystals (easy to test). You need current
limiting to
match the projected area and usually voltage limiting, but again, meaningless
other then a control to try and get reproducibility. You will find that
generally particle
size is smaller with lower current densities but excessive times can cause
crystal
growth, so there is a happy medium, subject to your particular setup
parameters!
We have optimized our design, over 5 years, with gentle fluid circulation,
one gallon
batch and electrodes spaced just 3/8" apart, with 28VDC max. and 5 ma.
max., using
auto-shutoff at 5PPM. Here again, more then 5PPM is risking the formation
of crystals,
so there is little logic to pushing for 2-3X the strength and producing the
infamous
"300X less effective" junk.
You can gain more insight from our rather lengthy page at:
http://www.health2us.com/colloid.htm also check /stories.htm for some
really great
user applications of Cs. You mention DW ,so you should also check /water.htm.
I am also an EE and spent much of the last 10 years seeking natural ways to
keep out
of the Hospitals, where they nearly killed me with their not so funny
"comedy of errors".
Eight years ago I stopped seeing Doctors, threw out my heart meds and found
health!
Good luck in your quest!

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
