<< Subj: CS>Why "spluttering? Date: 9/11/00 3:15:09 AM EST From: [email protected] (Del Crow) Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] New to this thread. Wondering why the "spluttering" of the silver is important to making better colloid. I'm using 10,000 volts AC--a salvaged oil-furnace starter-- and, tho its takes several hours to get 30 ppm (just guessing)--it is a half-gallon jar and several days-worth of 'dosage'for my wife and I. I figure (still guessing) that using the submerged electrodes, since it seems unlikely that there is much current-flow for the first couple of hours, that there is very little cost in running the transformer. Is this "spluttering" simply an interesting entertainment or can we share in the idea behind it. I did wander through the thread, but guess I missed something. >> Del: I believe there are several important aspects of "sputtered" HVAC that are worth the time of anyone who is interested in using high AC voltage to generate CS. First, you have to guard against generating dangerous levels of silver nitrate when you use the HVAC method in general, and while it IS possible to limit or even eliminate its production, it takes experience AND continuous monitoring of your product (and how many of those who make HVAC CS have THAT capability?) to ensure that almost all of the silver is present as CS and only a small fraction, at the most, is present as silver nitrate (which CAN, under certain poorly understood conditions, cause Argyria). Second, since there is good evidence to link significant nitrate (as well as nitrite?) formation to the length of time it takes to generate HVAC CS, any method that can significantly shorten production time is worth looking into, particularly if one can eliminate the need to monitor nitrate formation. Based on my measurements, "sputtered" HVAC CS has the potential to speed up production time between 10X and 50X, and analyses for nitrate and nitrite in several batches of my "sputtered" HVAC CS product demonstrates that these two unwanted anions are virtually absent. Third, from time to time, reference has been made to the medicinal benefits of "structured" or "electrolyzed" water. I continue to be at a loss to explain why my "sputtered" HVAC CS product exhibits a pH in the range of 3.5-4.5. I considered many explanations for this low pH, and, over time, as I continued to gather additional evidence and/or input for other silver list participants, I have rejected all of them, leaving open the possibility that my "sputtered" HVAC CS MAY be benefiting from the formation of "structured water" during production. For example, I have tested my product's potency at 1 PPM,and it seems to work as well at that concentration compared to the normally recommended 5 PPM concentration.
