Without question, these are by far, the easiest way to limit current in the production of CS. After using various voltage & current regulators, I personally have landed on using their 1N5295 (.82 mA), and at $1.78 ea., probably the cheapest way also. http://www.mouser.com/catalog/617/238.pdf As mentioned, polarity is a little tricky as you will see it in both directions, up to the rated mA. To Electrode ------------[ | ]----------------- From + of power supply. Solder it in right direction on plus side, with marking bar as out to clip on Silver. You can also parallel these to obtain numerous current limits.

I found that these Diode Regulators are different than a plain Diode as they passed current in both Directions but the wrong way was less than the Rating. If you really want to get Cheap look a little above or below 1MA they are Cheaper The 1 MA will adjust DC Voltage to let no more than rating pass You can read voltage and adjust silver distance apart and watch voltage change but you will never Pass more than 1 MA (if you use the 1 MA) They are good up to 100 volts The 1 MA is around $5 Part Number is 1N5297 for 1 MA other sizes are there You can make CS with 3 volts DC just move silver close as you are limited on current flow For larger Silver Electrodes you can use Higher MA unit See list archives for current and electrode size You can use any DC supply you have around house or buy something cheap For less than $10 you have a Constant Current Regulated CS Generator Bob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Julius Kabrun Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 12:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: CS>Fw: Fw:Re: CS> 10A 6.8V
