You've been a great help so far Marshall, what is the difference between
ionic and colloid? Should CS be made more colloid, ionic or does it
matter? Maybe you could refer me to some good reading on the subject.

Sounds right to me. The tester will only test the ionic part, not the true CS
part. So if theirs
is about 35% ionic and 65% colloid, that is exactly what I would expect.

Maybe I should do some more research before proceeding. I do have
another question though.
I bought 3 bottles of CS from Utopia Silver, then decided to make my own
so I bought some silver rods and a CS tester that was supposed to
measure the PPM. The first thing that I did when the tester arrived
was to measure the PPM of the Utopia CS and it showed 7PPM, their site
said it was 20 PPM. I wrote to them and their response was that home
made CS was more ionic and the tester was callibrated for home made
silver not commercial made. What does this mean and does it sound like
they are simply selling 7 PPM and representing it to be 20 PPM?
Thanks again,
Jim

A flyback will not work properly. The voltage needed is proportional to the
frequency, and a
flyback operates at around 16 KHZ. You can use about one cycle per minute for
30 Volts, and
60 at 10 KV. For 15 KHZ it would likely take millions of volts. Remember you
have to suck
the ions far enough away from the electrode for a signinficant number of them
to not be
sucked back during the reverse half cycle for it to work properly.

We have an electronics store locally that has lots of used transformers
neon sign, or possibly a fly back transformer. I've got plenty of time,
and like to experiment, I'll go see what I can get.

Pretty easy to do with a 15KV neon sign transformer.

Sounds like an interesting project to build a 10,000 V AC generator. I
might give it a try.
Thanks Marshall

I should have said gold, I've made it fast and the color is gold, if I
make it extremely slow, the color is clearer. I've tried 15 V ac with
no results, I use a 17 V DC power supply and use resistance to limit the
current to slow the process down.
I used 30 VAC one time for over a week and got nothing. Unless you have enough
voltage
to pull the ions fairly far from the anode during a half cycle, they get sucked
right
back to it when it is the cathode and redeposited. Typically when using AC,
one uses
about 10,000 volts.
