Thanks Steve, I have received an email privately warning me that shorting out the electrodes will burn out the LED. There is a current limiting resistor in the circuit just visible on the board. It is a 150 Ohm 1/8th watt unit so it is physically quite small. I have run these units with the electrodes shorted out for over a week without any damage to the LED whatsoever. The recommended continuous operating current of the LED is two milliamps for a MTBF of 100,000 HRS. The stirring, such as it is, is accomplished by the user periodically shifting the position of the electrodes in the water so as to observe the dimming of the LED, indicating a drop in current. This generator far exceeds my current limiting recommendation that I have been preaching for such a long time. This is for those who wish to produce "Perfect" CS. At a current density of 100 Microamps per square inch and a sufficient separation between electrodes of 4 inches, I no longer have the problems inherent in any method of stirring. Please have a look at my posting here:

Judging by the number of people who purchase two silver maple leaf coins and some alligator clips, it seems obvious to me that there is a price point of under $30.00 that would encourage people to start making their own colloidal silver. I think this is of great benefit to people, as there are so many questionable products available off the shelf. Please note that I use the expression "pretty darn good" not "perfect". As a matter of fact I can go up to about 17 PPM ionic with this method in around five hours. If I leave the solution open for 24 hours it will reduce to about 12 PPM but not turn yellow and still give a pretty good laser beam.

I like the simple method you developed to determine when the CS is ready. Although I would decant vs using filter paper. Well done. - Steve N ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Arnold Beland <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Fri Aug 14 14:04:37 2009 Subject: CS>What do you really need to make "pretty darn good" colloidal silver?
