I have found that a CS generator that constantly changes Polarity  Keeps the
silver cleaner, it also is harder on the silver it erodes more
with more sediment.  I never clean my silver, why bother if it is working. 
I have 2 of the reversing Polarity CS generators and several power supplies
on which I add a current limiter usually 1 Mill Amp
which automatically drops voltage to value needed to match rating of
current limiter.
Cheapest constant current CS generator you can get a 2 to $3  current
limiter and any DC power supply.
I use to use thin silver strips but switched over to 2 silver Maple Leaf
coins (which are about half gone) on each generator.
I can put silver as close together as I want and automaticly compensates.
With a volt Ohm meter on DC voltage you start further apart on silver and as
you move silver closer together you can watch votage get less with a current
limiter.
At any time useing the Mill Amp on meter it never alows more than rateing to
pass.
By the way I was looking at silver prices, it looks like price went back
down not sure when as I was not watching regularly.
I looked up proper name and number Current Regulator and Limiter Diode  1
Mill Amp is PN 1n5297

Subject: CS>Tacit Assumptions?


Hi, Members of the List,
 
It seems to me that there are tacit assumptions sometimes made about
generating LVDC EIS
that could be questioned:
 
1. Production of sediments is undesirable.
2. Silver is more costly than distilled water.
3. The electrolysis process should be accomplished
in one cycle.
 
I have tried generating sediments just to manufacture
poultices consisting of coffee filters entrained with
the gray fuzzies and silvery sols. This was inspired by
the mention of Muller's investigation of the benefits
of silver oxides applied topically in Argyria: The
Pharmacology Of Silver.
If I let the LVDC EIS sit for a day and tried to generate
more sediments, it took a considerble amount of time
for the electrolysis process to start producing sediments
again. I conjecture this is due to the relaxation of
short-lived radicals in EIS during overnight "curing."
Meanwhile, the Tyndall Effect gets stronger than the
previous day's brew, or so it seems from subjective
inspectio9n.
 
Does anybody use re-brewing alternated with
sediment filtration and relaxation to achieve higher
PPMs? It may seem wasteful of silver (and maybe
time and effort) but a number of people have noted
that the cost of DW is actually much greater than
the cost of Ag, in the long run.
 
Thank you in advance for your inputs.
 
Best regards,
 
Matthew
