Personally, I wouldn't ingest the stuff they make. That is a piss-poor way of making CS. The little "blue arc of electricity" they describe is filling the sol with nitrates, by fixing nitrogen from the surrounding air. Ole Bob shields his arc with a blanket of CO2, and still ends up with some nitrates. If they are going to rip off Bruce Marx's process, they should at least do it like he does. Allowing the water to "pull a cone" on the small wire electrode (2 of them in Bruce's setup) prevents arcing. Using 2 wire electrodes allows both sides of the larger, "plate" electrode to be utilized. The process they are using is very similar to what Roger Altman is using, or at least was using the last time I discussed it with him. While Roger feels that the nitrates/nitrites are a "red herring", I, personally, prefer to ingest my silver without nitrates. Roger's process IS different than theirs, though. He intentionally uses a wire electrode sized to produce sputtering. Of course, this is just my proverbial $0.02! -- Best regards, Solar -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
