The cathode requires at least the same. How are you going to stuff 40 inches of wire in that small container? Also, the 7805 is a 5V regulator and requires 7V to operate. The LM117 only needs 3V, so it would provide more voltage to the rods. But it has a minimum load current of 5mA. This means the anode and cathode each have 5 inches of wetted length, which is much more reasonable. The only problem remaining is the maximum output voltage of 37V. This puts the system on the exponential part of the current-vs-time curve, so the results would be subject to the normal process variations of purity of the distilled water, ion channel formation, and hydrogen bubbles forming at the cathode. Same old problems. Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
