 I started this ball so I guess I'll roll it for a moment.
The only reason I recommend against utopia is because I've seen photos of what they call the very best quality CS and it appears to me to be the very worst then go on to bring a 'good guy' image in by saying they only do this so that their children will have the best...and now..they can share their good fortune. Well maybe it's true and they don't have a clue. Heck, I even sent them suggestions and simple circuit diagrams to improve their quality..no response.

What causes a particular CS maker to create brown sludge and not another?

## Mostly 'runaway' [what Ivan said in another post] where the generator just accelerates out of control..because it has no controls at all..not even operator controls. Mind you, I don't know if brown CS is harmful, but I doubt it's as effective as a good clear CS or pale yellow. Personally, if I happen to make some brown stuff while experimenting, I fill a drain with it. [yuck]

Or is that a myth? I have 2 CS makers(only tried one so far). I do get
brown, but that is when I leave it running too long and I was using sea
salt(and distilled water).

## Somehow some people think sea salt is better than an additive free pure salt. Think about how many heavy metals like mercury and chemicals are in sea water. Salt is simply not necessary anyway and may form odd chemical combinations in your CS.

 I must have missed some crucial e-mails from the
list before I joined as I do not understand this. I don't want to start
anything here, but I sure would like a suggestion as to what is the best CS
maker(s) that people on this list have found(without bias and with
first-hand knowledge in relation to their experimentation, testing and and
final evaluation)---or has anyone purchased various makers and put them all
to the "test"? Is this a valid question and are there any correct answers
to this inquiry--or does it just not matter? From what I have read from
certain e-mails that have implied that the quality varies from generator to
generator---I just wonder if there is a significant difference.

##  Yes there is a big difference.
"Voltage controlled/regulated/limited is BS...pure sales gimmick in a battery operated generator. Any battery is automatically voltage controlled, limited to it's rated output. That requires nothing extra at all. "Current limited is a bit better but usually just prevents the generator from melting down if you short the rods together and does nothing at all for the CS process itself. This is done with a small light bulb or resistor. It will still 'runaway' "Current controlled" is a very good step and requires some know how to produce. IMO, these are the best and most fail safe, make the best CS with the most consistent smallest particles...AND prevents damage to the generator. Stirring technique is a new thing on the scene and we're still hashing out exactly why it makes such a big difference. It seems to play a big part in even uncontrolled generators making very good CS as well as improving the performance of the more sophisticated ones too.
 The rest is basically bells and whistles for your convenience.

The three I like best [and there are others that slip my mind right now] are Trems which he recently plugged, The new 777 at wishgranted.com and of course mine at silverpuppy.com. Of the bunch, Trems seems to have the edge with his new stirring device, wishgranted has more bells and whistles than mine but mine is the cheapest and does a darned good job and turns itself off when it's done like the others do but only has one setting. [You don't need a radio to drive] All are current controlled to 1 milliamp or less. All make the best CS for low voltage DC generators. Mine will run on many power sources besides the wall plug. Maybe Trems will too. I don't think the 777 will. Some people swear by High voltage generators and there are some good ones out there. I believe they are current controlled as well...and they are pretty pricey too. [Mostly geared for commercial production?]


Also, is there such a thing as a CS solution that does not lose its potency
over time? Does this vary from generator to generator? Or is that what
certain individuals on this list is trying to determine?

 ## Yes to all of the above.
I'll hazard a guess that brown CS ain't "it" and nearly everyone on this list will agree?

These are just some thoughts and questions off the top of my head--sorry if
I missed something and these questions are all redundant.
