Hi Damian, As long as you are using nothing but distilled water to make your CS, you will find current regulation un-necessary. Put an ammeter in series and you will see what I mean. I shut my generator off at 15000 ohms. Even if you were to run it to say 5000ohms you would only have 3.8ma @ 19 volts. Well under the 10ma maximum recommended. If you come up with a good circuit to trip a relay at a specific milliamp current, and shut off the circuit, that would be most useful. I am close but haven't quite worked out the load side yet. I'd like to use discrete components, but I may have to break down and use a comparator...

After following the groups chats and asking some questions and getting some replies from some kind people i am finally producing clear slightly amber coloured silver colloid. I have been reading around and some people have been using a aquarium bubbler to keep the sollution from aglomerating. I have adopted the method and works excellent. I am also using distilled water now instead of mineral and the solution is allot clearer and less sludge on the electrodes. My next step is to build a unit using a 19v powersupply costing about $18 whitch can run 3 colloid jugs. One each for silver, copper and zinc. I am also going to build a current regulator and maybe pulse it. Im unsure as to where it should be astable or bistable. Anyone with ideas. If i can figure it out i'll post the circuit. Also anyone got anything else that might be good in the circuit. Thanks again all Take care damian
