Some people might say if one has to use Duncan's device to keep one hand in your pocket, and the other hand holding the extension cord into the wall socket, 20 feet away from the electrodes and water to be safe. Not me. I wouldn't say anything about how to use such a inherently dangerous device. The first person to electrocute themself would be sure to sue me. I will say that if one were to go to Radio Shack and ask for a 15 amp diode bridge, they would probably get one rated for 50 volts peak, and for an application for 115 volt household power, one would want a bridge rated for at least 400V. When the 115 V is applied to the bridge, it will probably short out, causing lots of current to flow, the wires to overheat and since the fuse is between the diode bridge and the electrodes, instead of between the power source and the diode bridge, there's nothing to prevent enough current flowing to melt the power cord and burn the house down. Of course the household fuse or circuit breaker at the main panel will probably blow eventually. John -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
