Ok... but some questions. What testing indicates bacterial and viral
killing capacity at 1 ppm? Doubtless some of the little stinkers would be
effectively inactivated or killed...which ones have you tried your colloid
on? Is your calculation of the ppm unquestionably correct? I believe I
could create a water-submerged arc, but a lot of control would be
necessary. What difference "Pulsed" DC would make over AC, which is already
pulsed would be another query I would have. Anyhow, since I have only
roughly copied the CSPro web pictures of a couple of years ago, got my
oil-furnace starter about a year ago, and use the CSPro printouts as
guidelines as to what I am probably producing, I have to respect your
calculations; mine are only guesses. During the last week or so, I decided
to try our well-water instead of the RO water. I am not sure, in these few
gallons whether the other minerals interfere a lot or very little. There
is about the same 'low-level' Tyndall effect at four hours 10,000vAC as I
used to get in those accidental 6 and 7 hour batches of RO I occasionally
forgot about. Like some other people, I think that if you can see the light
beam too many of the particles will not get much further than the
bloodstream. Another thing, why would nitrates etc be produced anywhere
except at the water-surface? I'm not ignoring that air is three-forths
nitrogen. Did you test for nitrogen-related products where both AC silver
electrodes were submerged in water about 2 to3 inches apart and the water
was uncapped, or loosly capped? This might be good for me to
know,presuming I go back soon to the RO water which is slightly
inconvenient to obtain, that is. At 08:55 AM 9/11/00 EDT, you wrote:
