"Regarding stirring, the Colloid Master (R) employs a bi-directional current pattern to the electrodes. The Colloid Master does produce a constant current, that is also modulated." [ie: bi-directional]
Polarity switching? Duration of pulses in order for any stirring effect to be present is important according to Ole Bob who used to make and sell such devices. Well, Vince isn't a complete ignoramous. Although he hasn't seen fit to make the info available on the website, It's probably been considered. I don't see how current switching would effect a vertically oriented dispersion in the water or disrupt suspended ion tracks but it will at least move stuff away from the electrodes..if the pulses are long enough. A small stream of bubbles coming from the bottom would, IMO, help out and be a good idea. Settle and decant? What's that about? All in all, I think this is a pretty good generator. I see that the price has dropped by about $40 too...down from the permanent 'sale' price. I have always considered the 777 to be amongst the top 3 http://silverpuppy.com/links.html http://www.wishgranted.com/index.html A very informative site. Good generator for $159 'on special' 3/18/2000 Wishgranted has a new model 777 on special for $144. A very good generator from most accounts. The probes are only 30 gauge or .012 inches [.5" x 6", compared to 12 gauge x 3.5" wire at .081"] It's probably about the same amount of silver. Wishgranted says that flat ribbon has more surface area and works better. But, Flat ribbon has more sharp edge for less uniform electrical discharge whereas wire tends to discharge more ions at the tips [wires only sharp edge]. The only 'real' disadvantages I see to using thin flat ribbon is that it's very delicate, easy to mangle, difficult to make interchangeable or replaceable, difficult to clean without distortion and difficult to maintain an optimal distance between probes. [I tried that first and went with more manageable 12 gauge wire...the biggest wire available] Uniform or at least repeatable distance is very important to the accuracy of voltage referenced auto off sensing and production rates. I didn't see how they managed to keep that distance uniform. [now I do] In general, I'm impressed! Great job ,Vince PS Trem..I see I have some updating to do on your link and I also refer to a model I no longer make.
