have just made my first batch of CS , using an old ac adaptor. 117V/60 Hz/3W with an output of 9vdc, 200ma. will try to make a voltage tripler, using the diagram from the url posted by geo. martin, on 3 oct. thanks for the post, geo.
the cs turned out a nice light yeller, and didn't take long.about 20 minutes. did notice that near the end of the cycle, a lot of black fuzz was growin on anode/ cathod???. my guess is that as the concentration of the cs went up, the current flow increased. and also, the silver wires were quite close. what would the best current flow to make 5-15 ppm cs? after the tripler, the voltage should be about 31, as the measured output of this adaptor is 10.3 volts. how would one restrict the current flow as the cs increases in strength. also, could you switch the polarity back and forth with dpdt switch? would appreciate any an all comments. jim, O+, S
