3 nines and silver wire in a cup of tap water for an hour [Stans process]
does not yield a low ending current.
10 PPM would probably be achieved in less than 5 minutes. At the end of an
hour, the acceleration curve would be quite vertical maybe making 10 PPM
per second... per second ...after the first half hour.. or even the first
ten minutes?. [Just a guess]
 The rate of hydrogen and oxygen bubbles being emmited into the water would
probably emulsify the mix which would later stratify into layers of black
and brown sludge before crud starts falling out.

 My very first attempt at making CS went like that.  I was afraid to even
pour it on the ground.
I discarded the whole idea of using an uncontrolled process after that and
started researching ways to get a handle on it  and doing experiments to
come up with the first reasonably 'good' generator I'd ever heard of.
[based on experience as an electroplater with intense help from a world
renouned electronics engineer ..my Dad.] That only took about 2 years of
what is now pretty much common knowledge...on this list, anyhow.

 Apparently, Trem was doing the same thing at the same time...maybe a
little faster than I.

.. many thanks to Ole Bobs contributions along with several others on this
list for inspiring various refinements...
..and no thanks to 'establishment' labs that returned results that were
entirely inconsistant with each other, like, not EVEN close.
 Special thanks to Frank Key for setting me straight. [As painful as that
was to discover that some elements are just plain crooked to some degree,
no matter what, and the kinks have to be continuously worked around.] 

 Thankfully, a fairly wide range of error is, at least, not dangerous.
3 nines and wire, used with common sense and caution, does just fine within
that range of error.
 Essentially, if it looks like crap..it is.
 Toss it and try again with a little more caution.
 Just because caution and common sense is not 'built in' doesn't mean it's
unavailable.
