I guess I was wondering why the CS made with high voltage at such a high
current and current density was reported to be clear and mostly ionic
rather than producing massive particles or just plating out on the
cathode. I was thinking that perhaps it had something to do with the
speed of the ions due to the high voltage and the short length of time
that the cell operated. (Duncan Crow's microwave CS maker)
I doubt that I'll be able to spend the time it would take me to make
that calculation...

It depends on the conductivity, and the current density. First take the
conductivity in uMho and convert that to ppm. of ions. Then figure the number
of ions between the plates using alvagrado's number and the volume of liquid
between the plates. Then take the current and convert to electrons per second
(that is simply the current divided by the charge on an electron). Divide this
by the number of ions between the plates and multiply by the distance between
the plates. That will give you the velocity of the ions in inches per second,
or cm per second, depending on if the distance between the plates was measured
in inches or cm.

Does anyone know how fast silver ions travel in water from one electrode
to the other?
And
Do they travel faster if the voltage is higher?
Thanks,
