Always a good idea, if you're unsure. >If your process is 15 to 20 minutes you will be kidding yourself by not >seeing a T.E. as you probably haven't made any!!!!! I've noticed that when I use 30-35 volts as a (relatively) constant voltage source, I will get a T.E. in 15 to 25 minutes. When I use a constant current source, I won't get a T.E. even after two hours. (Making about 20 oz of CS in both) I figure that the 30 volt process, after 15 minutes, is producing enough current to "pop" larger chunks of silver off the electrodes -- big enough to produce a T.E. -- while the constant current process produces much smaller chunks at a slower rate which are too small to show a T.E. Both processes can produce the same ppm rating, but I like to think the constant current method will make many times the number of silver particles than that made by the constant voltage method. >Many think I am off my rocker about meters (probably am) but I just like to >know what I am doing.

However, the CS generator can be designed to effectively produce the same plot every run, automatically, by measuring the final current (and shutting off when a limit value is reached for a constant voltage generator). -- Dean -- from (almost) Duh Moyn (CDP, KB0ZDF) -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
