Greetings CS'rs, TEM shows that increasing the anode area in referenceto the cathode makes a much fine structure. As reported earlier the 2 1/4' x 5" anode and #14 cathode made sub-nm to 24 nm silver.
To continue this investigation I have had an anode consisting of 8 #12 wires 7" wet arranged in a 7/8" dia circle around a 3/64" cathode. In the following data all physical parameters are held constant. Only the supply voltage and brew time are changed. Each of the three runs have very weak T.E. that can only be seen in subdued light. There are a few sparkles that I do not know from where they come, but am investigating that problem. In all case the anodes remained bright. At the 9 volt there objectionable was oxide on the cathode. Volts Cf 0 in uS/cc Cf @ 48 hr. pH Ag+ PPM Brew time hr..
