Hi Trem, Regarding your below response, gold doesn't tarnish, rust or oxidize very well. That's why it's okay after it has been lost at sea and recovered. I think it will eventually disintegrate through electrolysis though. Try gold plating something like a car bumper.
Also, I think you might have your polarity back assward. The cathode is the emitter and the anode is the collector. Remember vacuum tubes? The electrons fly off of the negative charged cathode towards the positive charged anode. Hope this helps, Andy Date: Thu, 21 Nov 2002 14:21:16 -0800 From: "Trem" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: CS>CS RE: Colloidal Gold Message-ID: <036b01c291ac$6576eb90$30217...@silvergen> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Jannette, Verrrry inteerestinggg. I'm at a loss to see how this can work. A gold electrode just does not disintegrate using low voltage DC electrolysis. At least it never has for me. Gold coins lost at sea for hundreds of years come up looking the same as the day they were submerged and they are continually being exposed to electrolysis. And of course the silver electrode has to be the CATHODE (negative polarity) or it will be the one to deteriorate if you use DC. The anode is the one that releases particles. Did you mistype the polarity in your post? Quite a mystery to me. Do you know how much current is flowing? Sure you're not using their HVAC model? Apparently it puts out 10,000 VAC but no current is mentioned on their website. Trem
