Terry,
Once you set up your general flow-through cell you will have the basic geometry fixed. Then, by
some experimenting you will determine a general ballpark voltage setting that will provide 6 amps of
current during the whole time that your water is flowing. You will have to set the water flow the
same each time, ie: the 10 gallons per minute that you mentioned. Even if the water flow is
different, you can still calculate the amount of liberated silver in the batch based on the amp-seconds.
The rancher can set the voltage to the nominal level and start the system. He can then tweek the
voltage level up or down to get the 6 amps. The amperage shouldn't increase as it does in a normal
brewing cell because it is a flow-through cell.
Make sure the water drains out of the flow-through cell to stop the process automatically when the
water is turned off or you will have problems. However, also make sure that the cell fills
completely with water and doesn't retain air in it. Either that or get some sort of in-line flow
switch control that activates some relay contacts. The contacts can be in series with your voltage
(+) output if they can handle 6 amps or more, otherwise they will have to control a secondary relay.
Unfortunately, these flow switches that I can find are $100 and over.
The only realistic way you can tell what the silver concentration would be is to make calculations
using Faraday's equation as we have just done... If you maintain these general conditions as we
have indicated, or new ones that you calculate, you can determine how much silver you put into the
water and how much is used each time, etc. You will definitely be in the ballpark. I really think
it will be a lot easier to just use Faraday's equation based on the current level than to try to
weigh electrodes.
This will allow you to have control over the system without fancy control circuitry. (Other than the
power supply.)
I will try to send a copy of a old post that I sent to the Silver List with equations to determine
the silver concentrations, etc.

> I started doing some calculations and then realized
you were not going to use the flow thru system so I
stopped. It would be nice if you could tell us a
little more about the water system. I have been
theorizing a lot, much of which is likely wrong. It
appears you need some large silver electrodes. I have
a friend from Africa that used to be a bookkeeper for
a silver mine. Maybe he still has contacts there. <
Actually, it is a flow-thru I want, but not into the
water supply. I want to be able to attach it into a
garden hose water line. Then, whenever the client is
filling his 160-gallon tank, he will be adding
160-gallons of CS (this water will be gradually mixed
into the animal feed over two days time, so he only
needs 80 gallons per day).
I am using 16-guage silver wire right now because that
is all I have, but I imagine using silver rods much
thicker, maybe 1/8" or 3/16" think. I plan on using
one silver rod and one stainless steel (or copper)
because the client cannot be concerned with changing
polarity. I want a unit that he can attach and forget
until the silver rod becomes too thin.
I have a device that gives me 0-600 VDC, with separate
dials and meters for voltage and current. I may
experiment with that to try to find an ideal
voltage/current ratio. But the reality is that other
producers of various 1-stomach animals (horses, pigs,
minks, etc.) that are located in different locations
will have differing water/mineral densities. So a
standard voltage unit would produce widely differing
results. Even this same mink rancher will have
different water densities during different times of
the year, due to changing water tables, etc. What
would work fine with one water source might totally
dissolve the silver rods very quickly with another
water source.
The other approach is to simply design a setup that
brews 20, 30 or more gallons per day to be simply
poured into the animal feed. I pretty much already
know how to do that, but it needs some fine tuning.
