Hi Larry et al, The stirrer is a 2" to 3" piece of insulation from a #14 copper house wire. Some have stripped the copper out and just used the insulation which is a nice push on to the motor shaft.
I have used straigthened piece of #14 cu insulated wire 3" long with a 15 deg bend on the outboard end to stir a cylinder 4 1/4" dia x 11" as well as a 16 oz SOLO beverage cup. As for speed, I can't measure it but the runnng voltagae is about 0.80 volts. a full 1/2 volt throws water everywhere. I like to mount the motor in the center of the lid of my brew cell. That allows me to space the wires about 1 1/2" to 2" apart. I like about 5" wet length on the #14 ga. silver wires. If one uses constant voltage but a meter in one line to measure the cu rrent, and shut-off at about 3 to 4 ma. The time will depend on the volume of DW. For 14 oz I use a pair of #14 ga silver wires. If I go with more DW then I like to increas the silver electrode area by the same ratio i.e. 28 oz use two wires or go to sheet stock,etc. The conductivity increases with brew time, as does the PPM. Any more questions. "Ole Bob" -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
