Power factor is a consideration but not because of phase shift
When the process is interrupted either by removing the electrodes or by switching polarity, some sort of [ionization???] field collapses in the water.
It takes several seconds for current to start flowing again. Ode
Polarity switching, as we do it for CS making, is much too slow to cause any sort of phase shift requiring consideration of Power Factors. Bottom line, Power Factor - just forget about it... Watts or Total Power - may stand looking into... Dan >>> Ode Coyote <[email protected]> 4/17/2006 6:02:34 AM >>> I follow your logic too. More apt perhaps...especially when using automatic polarity switching, the term "power factor" comes to mind. Power factor? ...well... I've heard of it, seen it on charts and "grasp" [at] the concept up to where it turns the calculus corner. [ The meter tells me it's there but not its name ] Power factor is expressed in terms of watts? [ Like, watt the heck!!?? :-) -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
