Just have to obtain the Canadian Maple Leafs - all the rest I have. Is anybody else using this method? CU - Marjie http://www.generic-co-op.com/silver.htm
EVEN DUMMIES CAN MAKE HIGH QUALITY CS This ain't rocket science so pay attention. Don't email for more information. I haven't the time for hand holding! a.. 1. Buy a 6 volt DC transformer for about 5 clams. Better yet, pick up one at a flea market for .50. The current doesn't matter as this method uses less than one ma. b.. 2. Clip the connector off the end of the wire. c.. 3. Get two alligator clips from Radio Shack for a buck. d.. 4. Carefully separate the two wires. Strip the insulation off for about 1 inch. e.. 5. Connect each lead to the clip. f.. 6. You need two electrodes. Don't waste $15.00 for 1/4 oz. pieces of silver wire. Go to a any coin store and buy two Canadian Maple Leafs for about $6.50 ea. Each has 1.2 oz. of .9999 pure silver, enough to make more CS than you will ever use. g.. 7. Buy a gallon of distilled water for about .70. h.. 8. Buy a tiny fish tank bubbler machine for about 8 bucks. They will have the neoprene tubing as well. You will need about two feet. i.. 9. Be sure the coin is squeaky clean. Clamp them to opposite sides of an 8 oz. glass of distilled water. j.. 10. Place the tubing to the bottom of the glass. k.. 11. Fill the glass with distilled water ONLY up to the bottom of the clips. One does not want the metal, from the clips, in contact with the water, only the coins. l.. 12. Plug in the little transformer and oxygenation machine. m.. 13. Run for about five hours. n.. 14. Carefully remove the coins. There will be residue on them and you don't want that in the solution. For even more purity, use the neoprene tubing and siphon the solution into a clean glass/or plastic container. (In these parts a siphon hose is referred to as an "Arkansas credit card".) o.. 15. Keep the CS out of sunlight in an air tight bottle. p.. 16. Clean the coins thoroughly preparing for the next batch. Now you have high quality CS in about 5 PPM. Some scoundrels claim their CS is 100-800 PPM. This is rubbish. At such concentrations the particles would agglomerate forming much larger particles. Basic chemistry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last night I spoke with Frank Key, the scientist who owns the laboratory. He observed, "You have stumbled on to a fine way to make CS." He did state that the potency would diminish over time and suggested that one make a new batch every fortnight. Considering that costs you nothing it makes sense. He said the secret was the low voltage and the fish pump. I thought it was due to more oxygen in the water. He stated it was because of the introduction of carbon dioxide, explaining in chemical terms which were over my head. The fish pump is 100% vital to the process.
