I rewrote this for a lady who wants to make lots to give her horses as a prophylactic against EEE. Thought I may as well post it here too. -- Duncan
_________________________________________ CHEAP HOMEMADE HIGH-VOLUME COLLOIDAL SILVER MAKER You want the capacity to make 40 quarts of strong Colloidal Silver an hour?? For the power, this is about the simplest unit you could ever build. The unit makes 1 liter of strong CS in 1.5 minutes or less using reverse osmosis water; with this kind of power, continuous production is possible with a spaghetti tube adding and removing water at a trickle. I have re-wired a microwave oven to make my CS. It gives about 3600 volts pulsed DC current. I use an rolled- out piece of 9999 fine silver bar 5.25" long and 1.25" wide for the electrode. This allows reduced power DENSITY and still lots of power. The electrodes are spaced parallel for a wide-mouth jar, about 2.25" apart, giving ample RESISTANCE to the current. There are 2 wires going to the magnetron. When you disconnect the magnetron you'll only be using the heavier wire from the capacitor; the silver electrode usually goes to chassis ground to complete the circuit. The other electrode is copper wire. If you're not running 220 volts the wiring inside may be a bit different. I'm not an electrician at all but I found using the high-voltage wire and bypassing or removing the magnetron easy to do. The magnetron can be broken apart to give you 2 useful-sized ceramic magnets for magnetizing water or something. Get someone a bit adept at the job and make sure (s)he bleeds the capacitor properly. Space the electrodes parallel with a plastic lid and plastic spacer; at that voltage you have to ensure the electrodes never touch. The wires go inside the oven to the make the CS. (Hint: for the the smaller microwave ovens, lay them on edge so you can get a decent sized jar inside) The first CS maker done this way will take perhaps an hour, the rest, 20 minutes, and makes the old (free) microwave into a much more noble device than it was new. The safeties and timer still work and it only operates when the door is shut. Total cost, a bit of high-voltage wire and the rolled-out silver bar; well under $20 CDN, and I used expensive copper-core spark plug wires for the high-voltage part. The CS remains clear (not yellow, not cloudy) unless I taint it by sticking a finger in or not getting all of the tap water out of the jar. If I make it any stronger it can trigger easily and plate the inside of the jar with silver. Don't ask for a diagram. If you need a diagram for this you shouldn't be in there. Keep in mind that the dangerous part is in the construction, not the use of the beast, and be stupid at your own risk. Go ahead and circulate this note.
