Terry responds: Actually, when I have set up my jars and turned on the power, and touch the positive and negative leads from the meter to the appropriate silver wires, it measures 100 VDC, not 55 volts. Jim: I have a question for you. Is there any advantage of pulsed 60 Hz current as compared to straight DC for making CS? Terry: I dont know of an advantage, but a true DC is not what I get from a 120VAC to 120VDC rectifier out of an old TV (I am assuming it is pulsating DC, I dont know how to test to be sure). The real question is, if I fooled around with capacitors, etc., and smoothed out my pulsating DC to a true DC, would it make better CS? _______________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
