If anyone can think of anything else let me know. I have an Associate degree in Electronics so building circuits isn't a problem for me. This list is a great resource.

   Very soon you will think of 100 ways to build a CS generator.

   They can be simple or sophisticated.

Unless you want an automatic, idiot proof model, then strive for simplicity.

These could vary from your automobile battery, 3 each 9 volt batteries, to a solar charger, an LED and a resistor.

I actually use the brilliance of my LED to reject distilled water. ( I have an EC meter )

As was pointed out, higher voltage can be an advantage. Some use 100 VDC and I have used 70 VDC.

I ask you to consider my basic design that works on 52 VDC, no battery and no solar charger.

Total parts cost is less than 10 dollars. If you are into electronics, you likely have everything.

Where does the 52 VDC come from? Three guesses ! Your local telephone line.

  This design has been criticized on this list as being marginally illegal.

Virtually everything connected to a phone line draws more current than the Phone Line Generator.

I have a lousy drawing on my website, plus I have a pictorial I had to make for a few people whereas I only send the parts.

  Here is the lousy drawing.  http://www.fugitt.com/ph_gen.jpg

This circuit uses one full wave bridge. The reason being is that Tip and Ring are often reversed.
I use a red and black rubber boot on the alligator clips.

I fully realize that the LED is the only thing that is polarity sensitive. The silver electrodes are not.

The full wave bridge, as you know, corrects the polarity for the LED, no matter what the polarity input.

Here is the pictorial. The few people I sent this to said it helped them to assemble the unit. These were non technical people. http://www.fugitt.com/files/cs_phone.jpg

The complete unit is assembled in a surface mount phone terminal block. The mechanics are a bit tricky and tedious, but when done correctly, it goes together very nicely.

The complete unit fits in the shirt pocket.

To get past national security, I have a label that says, "Phone Line Tester", which it is.
If it said, "Silver Generator", it might attract too much attention.

Again, the ones that want to talk about the legality of this device are wasting their time and bandwidth.

The very old CS page is likely out of date and has some documents exist that are technically incorrect today. Some are OK and a number of links exist, and one cute Java script that can be stolen if you wish.
( it does require a few class files, *.cla )
