Wayne,
I don't think it is quite right to call it the "Wattage" Factor.
We don't care what the VoltAmps (Watts) are; we care what the AmpSeconds
(Coulombs) are.
For a cell with fixed electrodes, the VoltAmps (Watts) will be proportional to the final ppm. But
what happens when you move the electrodes farther apart? You would have to increase the Voltage to
get the same Amp reading, therefore the VoltAmps (Watts) would increase but the amount of silver
released would remain the same as in the previous case. The AmpSeconds (Coulombs) is the important
thing. This is the first formula:
m = k*I*t
where:
m = mass in grams
k = electrochemical equivalent = 0.001118
I = current in amps
t = time in seconds
To find the ppm we use the second formula:
ppm = mg/lt
where:
ppm = concentration of silver in parts per million
mg = milligrams of liberated silver
lt = liter of water
So, for a flow-through system, the important factors are the current (amps), and the amount of water
flowing through it (which contains the liters and the time values)...

Thanks Dan,
For explaining this and for the longer post with all the details.
I do understand all this very well.
Long before I heard of the Faraday method, I made a post about
what I called a "Wattage Factor".
I stated briefly that this "Wattage Factor" used in the process
actually was a measure of the work being performed and nothing else
was as positive to tell what was happening or to compare processes.
At that time, I got not one comment from anyone.
Later someone did make a comment and agreed with me. It may have been
you or Ode.
There is a certain amount of logic in all this.
I think I have the stream velocity calculated but I want to double
check all my numbers before I post anything.
Or.... you could double check them for me. <grin>
Using the Faraday calculation and stream velocity, The amount of
water past a point in one second, appears to be the most, if not the
only true method of ppm calculation.
It appears that, within a short time, everyone will have the
continuous generator simplified so that many people may start doing
this for livestock and even for human use as well.
For a commercial system, it one was willing to spend 10 to 20 K, a
super reliable system could be built with full automation and monitoring.
