Hah!

Good going, Marshall, our sleuth extraordinare.  Why didn't I think to check 
the actual patent?  *shakes head at self*

  The colloidal silver is not patented. I just looked at the patent.

  They patented the idea of putting a stiring mechanism in the container. 

  Abstract 

  An apparatus and method for producing colloidal silver. A large-volume 
container, such as a fifteen gallon container, includes a 
  hinged lid on which a rotational impeller is mounted along with several sets 
of electrodes that are electrically connected to a 
  power transformer. The container is partially filled with water, and when the 
lid is closed, the sets of electrodes are disposed in 
  communication with the water in a predetermined arrangement, and the impeller 
resides submerged in the water. Certain of the 
  electrodes constitute silver wire. The power transformers convey current to 
the electrodes, preferably alternating current, at 
  voltages sufficient to cause silver particles to separate from the silver 
wire and enter the solution in a stable, suspended state. 
  The impeller is rotated, preferably continuously, to prevent the suspended 
silver from remaining in upper levels of the water, 
  thereby dispersing the silver particles more uniformly throughout the volume 
of water.
