gary, thanks for the response, and the info.
i've checked with a close friend that into this electrons thing, and he
confirmed the switching of polarity with dpdt switch. he also stated that a
simple resistor would limit the current to the desired 2-3ma. he threw me a
curve on the voltage tripler, stating that you can triple ac current, but not
dc. i thought i had seen on this site, someone taking one of these old
adapters, and bumping the current up to around 30 volts. did i misunderstand
something here? thanks again, jim, O+, S

Hi Jim,
You are quite right, your current did go up near the end of your run.
Put your digital ammeter in series, using 10.3 volts, turn off the
generator at 686 uA which
should be approximately 10ppm. If you want 5ppm turn it off at 515 uA.
When you go to 31volts turn it off at 2.06mA for 10ppm or 1.55mA for 5ppm.
This is the same as 15000 or 20000 ohms total resistance for both voltages.
Current regulation is really un-necessary since you should never allow the
current to go above 2-3mA (@ 30 volts) with high quality distilled water.
Of course there is lots of room for advanced experimentation. See some
of Bob Lee's recent posts for truly advanced techniques in the highest
form of the CS art. Bless you, Bob Lee.
The figures above use a 2" to 2 1/4" spacing on your electrodes with about
3 1/2" wetted
14ga silver wire and 16oz of room temperature water. Adding a fish tank
bubble stone
or small stirring motor or hand stirring makes a lot of difference in the
quality of the CS, but
have fun, it all works well!
Gary

Subject: CS>AC adaptor/CS
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
