Hi Bill. What you need is around .5 mA per square inch of total wetted eletrodes. So if Im using 2 silver bars that are 2 inch by 1.125 inch plus the edges would be around 12 inchs I would set my gen to cap out at 6 mA. I believe it takes 6 inches of wetted 12 gauge wire to equal 1 square inch so it would take 12 inchs of wetted 12 gauge wire for 1 mA. Hope that helps.

If your power supply is unregulated it will continue to 'ramp up' the current as the conduction factor increases with the increase of CS %age. The best CS gen's are those which have a current limiter to hold the current to 1ma or less. Yours will provide up to 1000 times this (even though it may never reach that point). The increase in current is taking 'bigger bites' of the silver electrode without helping your actual CS. It is like taking a pinch of sand and adding it to a bucket of water to make 'good' CS or, with the larger current you are taking a handful and dumping it into the bucket. Some of the handful will add to the CS but the 'clump' will fall to the bottom and be wasted. By reducing the current your production time will increase but the CS should rema! in clear or very nearly so no matter what %age you reach. You can add a CLD to your device easily since you are not using a 'manufactured' one. The instructions are in the archives and help is available here whenever you ask.

I have experimented myprocess beginning at 30 and when the solution reaches1 or 2 ppm I switch to 13.5. Eventually, regardless ofwhere I begin, I finish with a settled solution whichis not clear. The end product is always some shade ofyellow. Also, it may read 10-12 when I am done, buteventually settles anywhere from 3-6 as a finishedproducts days later an! d always the color deepens. Doyou think the Adapter using 1000mA is too high? _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
