Silver oxide does not form. Hydrogen is much more active than silver, and AC
causes both to be generated at the electrode.  Thus they immediately combine
with each other returning to water.

Agreed.

I believe that ions are what always leave the silver, and aggregate into the
particles shortly thereafter.  My guess is that basically ions form, and if the
area just around the electrode exceeds the maximum ionic silver that can
dissolve (12 or 13 ppm is it not?), they immediately aggregate.  Thus if you
stir while making it, the ionic will increase and the particle size will
decrease.  If you stire rapid enough, and the ppm does not exceed 12 or so ppm,
it could be made almost totally ionic.  This maximum is also affected by
temperature of course.

I have no idea what they mean by type. Size, shape, zeta?  Since size, shape
and zeta can form a continuium between the different ones, there could be an
infinite number of types if you use this criteria. (actually we are limited by
the discrete charges and atoms, but there would still be lots more than 75).
