Hi Pamela, Well, there are 24,100 messages in the archives, I dare say you have missed a few on topic ;-)
What causes one generator to produce 'brown sludge' and another to produce clear CS, is... in a nutshell, the uncontrolled stripping of silver ions from the positive silver electrode (anode) in ever increasing clouds, and the aggregation of these ions into larger particles before they can become solvated (surrounded by water molecules), dispersed and stable. If a generator uses some sort of process to restrict and control the stripping of the anode, or increase the dispersion of the particles before they grow too large, then a very stable (indefinite?) clear colloid can be made at high concentration (15+ppm). Current limiting is essential in my book, this restricts the number of ions stripped at any moment, and if the current density of the anode is low enough can achieve the above alone. However this takes time and can be increased somewhat if active dispersion is employed, either by stirring or thermal convection. The physical dimensions of the generating container and electrode configuration are also important in the overall properties of the colloid. But it must be said that all CS, even the brown sludge (if intercepted at the gold stage) is reported to be effective in treating infection etc., and this is likely because of the manner in which it is absorbed (IMO), but the darker the brew the less stable it is likely to be and should not be stored for any length of time. I have posted a simple DIY generator running from a 9 - 12V wall adaptor which generates clear colloid : http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m10918.html Regards Ivan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pamela Grant" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 11 July 2000 18:13 Subject: CS>? on generator quality > > What causes a particular CS maker to create brown sludge and not another? -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
