Hi Jean, You can spend as little or as much as you want on a CS generator. Basically, it is just two pieces of pure silver wire in a glass of distilled water. The wires are connected to batteries or a cheap power supply. That's it! You have your basic CS generator.
Now, lets look at the options: There are only two. The first is current limit. The second is agitating the water. Neither are necessary but both are good. Current limit can be done with a 5 cent resistor or a dollars worth of electronic parts. They do about the same thing for this not so high tech procedure. Agitating the water costs a little more. It is either done with a light bulb to warm up the water, a cheap mechanical motor to stir the water or a slightly more expensive aquarium fish tank bubbler that may or may not add unwanted crap from the air into the water. Now you have a decision to make. Do I build my own or do I buy one? Build you own: Are you on a budget and do you like tweaking with things? If yes, this may be the way to go. You can start out with some silver wire and batteries and add current limit and water agitation if and when you want. Buy one: The one that Sunstone (James) sells looks like a good starter kit. Make sure it comes with 12 gauge wire. Anything else will be flimsy and not last long. You might even be able to modify it for current limit and agitation later. If you want to spend more, there are plenty of them out there. Compare prices and features. Automatic shutoff might be nice if you are going to abandon the unit after you start it. Do a search on "colloidal silver generators" and see what you get. Hope this helps, Andy (^_^) From: Jean DeMasters Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2003 13:14:07 Hello, I am fairly new to the colloidal silver world only having purchased it once from Sunstone herbals, and I am confident that this is something that is very promising in it's results. I am interested in getting a generator and making my own. The generator at Sunstone is only 39.99 including the wire and batteries. Is this a good generator? and does anyone out there have any suggestions or information about there products or anyone else's? Any help is greatly appriceated. Thanx, Pixie
