Hi Dan, I don't think it is too critical. I use about 1 1/4" spacing, but I have seen wide variations posted in the archives. > What was the electrode spacing, electrode length, and amount of > distilled water in the example in your write-up which appeared to > take about 30 minutes to make the CS? I'm sorry if I gave the impression of a 30-minute brew time. I actually wanted to show the insensitivity of the resistive method to normal process variations, such as the formation of hydrogen bubbles that reduce the electrode surface area. I have rewritten the paper to hopefully explain this more clearly, and also added an electrostatic drain to the schematic. I included more information on monitoring the performance of the circuit by noting the time delay between turning power off and the neon bulb going out. So it might be worth reviewing the paper to see what is new. To answer your question, the electrode spacing is about 1 1/4", the wire is 12 ga with a wetted length of 3.85", the current is 1.4mA, and the water volume is 8 oz. For single rods, this gives a current density of 3.85 * 0.25 * 1.4 = 1.33 mA/sq. inch I have been experimenting with asymmetrical current density, and am now using two rods for the anode and a 17" length of 12 ga. wire formed into a "W" for the cathode. The operating current is the same, but the current density at the anode is about 0.66mA sq. inch, and the cathode density is less than half of that, or about 0.30 mA sq. inch. The increased surface area causes a significant reduction in the initial voltage across the rods. It dropped from about 80V to about 30V, with a corresponding reduction in the final voltage at the end of the run. The resistive method definitely improves the run time. I generally brew for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hr, but I find the longer runs tend to turn yellow or gold after a day or so. I don't measure the resulting ppm, but instead I rely on subjective impressions of the biological activity. For example, a cut usually heals in one day when covered with a bandage soaked in cs. A scrape, where the skin is removed, may take two or three days to heal without leaving a scar. It doesn't seem to matter much how the silver is prepared or what the strength is. However, I find a great difference in the tooth test. Stirring allows me to use longer runs before they turn yellow, but I have not seen a corresponding improvement in pain reduction with a cavity. The unstirred silver may stop the pain for several days. But the three stirring methods I tried would only stop the pain for several hours. A friend reports the same result with her tooth cavity. So, I have gone back to 1 hr runs without using stirring. > Thanks, > Dan Thanks for the comments!
