Thanks a lot, you guys. Good information! I have access to some surplus water pumps from work which have a range around 1 gallon an minute, give or take, depending on the voltage applied. I may use these or a bought submersable pump if I get up to a gallon maker (or larger) setup.
Incidently, I just made a setup consisting of a 12 ounce container, two 8 inch "U" shaped electrodes made of 12 gage fine silver wire 99.9% purity with a spacing of 1.25 inches, a 35 VDC approx. power supply, a 1 ma regulated output made with a LN334 regualtor with a 68 ohm resistor, and thermal stirring with a 7 Watt night light in a tin can, insulated. The setup reaches current limit right around the 15 minute mark. The Mercury program calculates the ppm for a 2 hour run at 21.8 ppm. There is the expected grey and black coloration on the respective electrodes, but no whiskers nor any substantial buildup on the electrodes. The final product is clear, minimal tindal as far as I can tell, but I don't have a laser pointer or a PWT tester yet to verify the concentration. No "ion clouds" or whisps were visible for any of the runs. Starting voltage was about 33V at .46ma so resistance calculates to approx. 78Kohms.. Voltages and resistance were taken at 15 minute intervals vary a bit, but at the end are approx 4 or 5 VDC at 1ma and therefore 4K to 5Kohms.

We use 7/16 to 1/2 inch spacing on our SG7 Pro. With the electrodes that close together the current gradient between plates is pretty strong right at startup and we reach current limiting very quickly. However the water has to be moving fairly rapidly or the unit will shut down because it senses voltage drop across the electrodes to control the shutoff point. We use a submergible fountain pump to keep the water moving vigorously. The idea that it takes very slow water movement to produce good CS doesn't have any effect on our generator. It produces particle size in the general range of .001 to .005 microns. So, I think closer is better if you can keep the water moving. Why have to wait to get up to speed? My 2 cents.

Also I think that the agitation is to weak for anything larger then about a quart tank. I bought the pump at an aquarium store. It is rate 35 to 70 gal/hr with a head of 18". Since I am not elevating the DW it should be running near maximum output. The 2 gallon aquarium is 12" long, the anode is at one end and the pump at the other end directed towards the cathode- anode. Its like this PUMP---CATHODE--ANODE. Anode to cahtode spacing is 1.8" Dan Nave wrote: > Ole Bob wrote that he used a submerged water pump in his 2 gallon CS maker. > > Bob, what kind of flow rate does your pump have and where do you direct the flow? > > For air bubblers, what kind of flow rate do you (anyone) recommend? > > Dan -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
