You can get a quick down and dirty approximation of 5ppm by making cs to 15,000ohms or 10ppm by making it to 10,000ohms. Buy an inexpensive digital volt/ohm meter, then measure your actual battery voltage. Use ohms law to calculate the amperage (calculators available on the web) for either 10K or 15K ohms. Put your ohm meter in your circuit in series, and set to Ma (milliamps) and run your batch until the number you are reading is the same as the one the calculator gave you. No more guessing. Also a fish tank bubbler or other stirring method would be a good idea. Use only distilled water of course. Good luck. Oh, I shut of the power and gently remove either of the wires. Not sure if it makes a difference but there is a slight potential there...

In the meantime, I've rigged up a home made generator using four 9v batteries. I also need to buy a ppm reader, as I have no idea what I am producing. Anyway, here's the question. I followed the instructions from the silvermedicine website: http://www.silvermedicine.org/construction.html which said to remove the "negative" rod from the water first and then wait about two minutes before Gently removing the positive rod from the colloidal silver. Somewhere else I read that the 'positive' rod should be removed first and then the negative a few minutes after. Does anyone know which is the correct way of doing it? I've got loads of other questions too. Hope you lot are patient, LOL. On the Silvermedicine website, it said that to produce a quality 5ppm, you should time the process for 5 minutes FROM WHEN YOU SEE THE WHISPY BITS - which could take 15 or 20 minutes of nothing visible happening (I know that the process starts the minute the electrodes are connected, but this is not visible to the eye) However, when I shine a light on the water, I can see whispy bits after a few minutes, but without the light I can't see anything happening. So.... do I time the 5 minutes from when I see the whispy bits WITHOUT the light? Or do I time the 5 minutes from when I see the whispy bits using the light? Questions, questions. Sorry. I think this 5 minute timing depends upon NOT STIRRING. Am I right in thinking that if I stir, then it will take longer than 5 minutes? I know all of this is trial and error, and certain equipment is needed, but right now I feel that I am making this stuff blind and need loads of info.
