TWEAKING is a PC jargon term for adjusting the default parameters or values of an installed program to work better, like, say, Download accelerators because winsleaze sets defaults for lan networks and not for internet. Since windoze also bloats by not cleaning up after itself one has to defrag and other boring things to keep up the speed.

With making CS and other trace elements one tweaks the volt and amperage settings to go slow as it high values the particles get bigger and so on. So one adds a millamp meter, and calculates the best values, the voltage seems to have to be around 27 volts DC. Since internet blurbs mention anything between 0.2 ppm and about 15 as effective, it's not that critical. I just check when the anode gets blackish and hydrogen bubbles start coming off the cathode as about right. You see we talk about pure water but there ain't such a thing. As Mike points out it's minor but to geeks it matters.

Can some kind person explain tweaking?


Are you talking about my comment to Adrian earlier about the way people have tweaked their silver generators to "improve" the product?

If so, I'm just talking about the 2nd or 3rd round of refinements folks have experimented with, that may produce some minor improvement in consistency, appearance, ease of use, and possibly effectiveness... but that are generally about as important as a coat of paint to the structural strength of a steel girder bridge. <grin>

Even the most simply made silver is effective, if done basically right.

Yes, polarity switching, various stirring techniques, timers or current sensing automatic shutoff, or precision current control *MIGHT* make things marginally easier to use, more consistent or effective. But the person who has put a current meter in line with the cell and uses that as a guide for when to shut if off, and/or put a simple resistor in series with the cell to limit the maximum current density, will probably get 95% of the benefits somebody gets who goes for *all* the tweaks.

Of course I'd never argue that ease of use or consistency is bad, and the better silver generators are certainly fine units, but if all you want or can afford is a simple thing you put together for a little money and tinkering, you'll get most all the benefits of using silver without any more bells and whistles than that.
Is that what you mean, Elle?
