You can say what you like and calculate it all day long but it doesn't change the fact that I consistently get 1.7ma from a LM317 with a 1K resister. I have built 10 machines this way and everyone of them limit the current to 1.7ma. I get approximately 10ppm in 3 hours consistently on all 10 machines. And my offer for the schematic includes the power supply and the stirrer. And a full parts list including sources for the parts (some of them hard to find such as the motor for $2.50 which is a surplus microwave oven turntable motor stirring at 30 rotations per minute).

My process has no problems, it gives me the same product repeatedly.

And I wanted to tell you I felt insulted by your reply. It seemed an attempt to belittle my offer to post my schematic (yeah its no big deal for an electronics tech but there are lots of people on this list who are not), and a false attack on my process. Instead of attacking what I said I suggest you get an LM317 and see what I'm telling you is true.

  You may  have  found   one   that   works,   but   if  you  read the

  is better  than the LM317, but neither device is guaranteed  to work
  outside the specifications.


  No doubt you are making cs, since you are applying current. But many
  people have  posted  discussions  on  the  unrepeatability  of their
  process, and some even think the phase of the moon has some effect.

  I think  a  lot  of problems people  have  been  having,  aside from
  variations in the purity of the distilled water, is the  low voltage
  normally used,  and  unreliable   current  regulation.  Your circuit
  certainly falls in this category.
