I'm assuming you use distilled water (without salt, baking soda or other stuff to "jump start" the production). You're trying to make the CS too fast by using a relatively high voltage throughout the generating cycle. That is, using 30 volts for 1/2 hour will produce a slightly yellowish CS because the current for the last 15 minutes of the cycle is too high (knocking bigger chunks of silver off the electrodes). The current rises throughout the cycle, but since the conductivity of the water will increase as silver get into the water, the current will increase. The best way to solve the problem is to reduce the voltage across the electrodes after about 15 minutes from 30 volts to 12 volts or so (Radio Shack sells a transformer that is switchable between 30 volts and 13.5 volts that works well). Another way is to make or buy a controlled current CS generator, because it's the current that makes the CS, not the voltage. www.silvergen.com and www.silverpuppy.com make this type of generator. -- Dean -- from (almost) Des Moines -- KB0ZDF -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
