All this brings a question to my mind; what about that first 15 minutes or half-hour? What I mean is, if the particle size is largely governed by the current rate, so that smaller particles are generated at lower currents, isn't that first period of time generating the smallest and supposedly most effective particles of all? Does the ionic silver get made then, primarily, or throughout the whole period of time the generator is going? Malcolm
