Hi, Greer, A resistor placed in series with the generator you describe will limit the current, making the process and product more uniform. It will also slow down the process, which is not a bad thing. A resistance value equal to the inter-electrode resistance (before the process begins) should work OK.
It may be a mistake to discard residues as useless by-products. Instead, strain the brew through a coffee filter in a funnel. Such a coffee filter entrained with silver compounds can assist with skin infections. Some silver wire is useful even when you use silver coins as electrodes, for mounting purposes. Drill two small holes in each coin, near the periphery and diametrically opposite each other. Form silver wire into S-shaped hooks to hold the coins from the lip of the vessel. This allows the alligator clips to stay outside the vessel and away from splash from the bubbler. Best regards, Matthew -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
