If you want some sediments..make a strong brew of any color and toss a piece of shiny copper wire in the bottom and let it sit for a few weeks.
The copper remains untouched but everything suspended in that water will drop out.
Even black CS will clear up.
Even conductivity drops something like 80% [one batch was 28.8 uS and dropped to 8.8 uS leaving about an 8th inch of fluffy grey/brownish sediments in the bottom. It was deep yellow and had a bright TE...now virtually no TE and absolutely clear]

I have no idea why.

If you run a gen with one copper electrode, it will produce a great deal of silver oxide.

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
