Evening John,

Seems you have a plan and a strategy, and have put some thought into making CS.

I don't want to muddy the water, or the CS, but I have one small question.

At 11:12 PM 9/7/2004, you wrote:
I'm going to buy a tester just to see what our product is, but my thoughts are that the extremely low voltage/current, are very important factors, as is the low start and finish temperature of the water 20C +-

My question relates to the low voltage. It has been proven that higher voltages make acceptable CS.
This is not to say that the lower may not be better.

Time could be a factor when you needed a larger volume of CS in a shorter time.

You also mentioned the "30 minute factor" as possibly not as desirable as 3 hours or 8 hours.
Here again, good and effective CS can be made in 15 minutes or less.

If one used the approach that he must make the BEST CS, there may be critical times when these cards will be stacked against you. Likely you could use ONE volt DC and take a week to make CS.

I have never used 100 VDC but have used voltage from 6 to 70. I finally settled on 52 VDC and seeing the effectiveness of this, quit worrying about making the best CS.

     Even lousy CS works miracles.

Don't change what works, and what you like. While you are in the experimental mode, you could try some faster methods in case you need greater volume at some time in the future.

I would like to see some data on a shirt pocket sized solar charger, or maybe two or three of these connected in series.
