Hi Russ and all, I've been using VOM's for forty some years and I darn well know how to use one and certainly how to read polarity. I've been making and using CS for four years or so and I think I know how to make it as well. I have two electrodes; the silver electrode is connected to the positive terminal, and I have a stainless electrode connected to the negative terminal (for those of you who are going to freak about using stainless for the cathode, this was discussed a year or so ago on this list and seemed to be perfectly acceptable at the time, and it is much easier to clean; for the most part it becomes plated with silver that is pretty firmly attached). If I turn the stirrer off I see silver coming off the positive electrode (the only one that's silver so duh!). Discussions here have also pointed out that the CS ideally has a positive charge which is believed to help in whatever magic it does; I'd think that would be kinda hard to do if it comes off of a negative electrode. If I'm doing something wrong then it is amazing that I'm making CS. Would a few of the experts please verify that I am either right or wrong about polarity (I say the CS comes off the anode or positive terminal). This is kinda important, especially when talking about electrodes being applied to the surface of the skin.
