Hi Listers, "Ole Bob" is an electrical engineer and I have built several power generating stations in the tropics, and I know high voltage electricity. I would suggest that most of you leave it alone as it can kill. In October thru December I ran a 14 part study using a microwave power supply and have data logged the results and measured the PPM with my spectrophotometer, and will tell you that I could not get 35 to 42 PPM. In fact the highest I ever got was 13.2 PPM and every batch turned yellow overnight. Facts: Open circuit voltage = 3,500 votls Anode 2" x 6" Cathode 1/4" rod Spacing = 3" The initial current is very dependent on the conductivity of the DW. With a cond. of 1.0 uS/cm the cell voltge was 250 volts and the current was 141 mA. With a cond. of 0.6 uS/cm the cell voltage was 250 volts and the current was 52 mA. I will try and put together a spread sheet of this data. "Ole Bob"

He said that he could regularly get 35 to 42 ppm CS using his converted microwave CS maker. One quart in 1.5 minutes. 3,600 volts, pulsed DC, with electrodes at 2.25 inches apart, and anode surface area of 15.25". I estimate that would be at about 100ma with current density of 15ma per square inch. (All approximations.) This seems to violate a lot of rules that we go by for low voltage DC CS making.
