Imagine 400 billion silver particles dissolved in water to make a super cleaning solution that affects your clothes on an almost molecular level. its purification ability of 99.9% and lasting antibacterial action will redefine your idea of immaculate." http://www.samsung.com/Products/WashingMachine/Bigwash/WashingMachine_Bigwash_H1245AS.htm Sounds more like hogwash. 400 billion silver ions weigh 7.16E-08 milligrams. If the washer holds 10 gallons of water, it would have a silver concentration of 1.89E-09 ppm, which is below the limit of detectability. The Mercury calculations are shown at the end. Another problem is trying to preserve silver ions in dirty, soapy water. There are so many contaminants it is highly doubtful an ion would last longer than a couple of nanoseconds. The Japanese apparently favor silver for its antibacterial properties. But this approach clearly has no possible benefit. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the Mercury solution. This shows the value of Mercury in solving problems without having to rewrite the equations each time. This is slow, highly error-prone, and difficult to troubleshoot. Here are the conversion factors: Cou = I * sec ; total number of Coulombs esec = I / 1.60217733e-19; electrons per second gm = k * I * sec ; Faraday's equation isin = esec / sqin ; ions per sq. in. per sec isnm = isin / 6.45e14 ; ions per square nanometer per sec k = 107.868 / 96485 ; Coulombs required per gram of silver lt = 3.785 * gal ; convert gallons to litres lt = ml / 1000 ; convert millilitres to litres mg = gm * 1000 ; convert grams to milligrams ml = 29.57 * oz ; convert ounce to milliliters mnt = 0 ; minutes phr = ppm / hrs ; ppm per hour ppm = mg / lt ; 1 ppm is 1 milligram per litre sec = hrs * 3600 + mnt * 60 ; convert hours to seconds uAin = 1e6 * I / sqin ; current density in uA per sq in These are the variables: gal = 10 ; water capacity hrs = 1 ; dummy calculation Ion = 400e9 ; number of silver ions Ion = esec * sec ; electrons per second * number of seconds sqin = 2 ; dummy calculation Here is the Solution: Cou = 3600*I = +6.40870932000000E-08 I = +1.78019703333333E-11 sec = +3600.0000000000000 esec = 6.24150636309403E+18*I = +111111111.111111 gm = 4.02471679535679*I = +7.1647888991010E-11 k = +0.00111797688759911 isin = 3.12075318154701E+18*I = +55555555.555556 sqin = +2.0000000000000000 isnm = 4838.3770256543*I = +8.6132644272179E-08 lt = +37.8500000000000 { = +757 / 20 } gal = +10.000000000000000 ml = 29.57*oz = +37850.0000000000 mg = 4024.71679535679*I = +7.1647888991010E-08 oz = +1280.01352722354 mnt = 0.0000000000000000 phr = ppm = +1.89294290597120E-09 ppm = 106.333336733337*I = +1.89294290597120E-09 hrs = +1.0000000000000000 uAin = 500000*I = +8.9009851666667E-06 Ion = +400000000000.00000 Best Wishes, Mike Monett -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
