Joseph, My homemade generator uses a quart mason jar, with #12 vertically mounted silver wires spaced about 2 inches apart whose ends are about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom. I use a constant current of about 200 microamps and let it brew for 24 hours. The very low current produces very fine particles and doesn't require mechanical or thermal stirring (the Brownian motion provides sufficient "stirring"). I don't use polarity switching, but I do swap the wires every batch so they wear out evenly. Be sure to use only steam distilled water.
If you are handy with electronics, I can send you a schematic of the constant current supply I use. The parts cost around $15. Or, you can simply buy a constant current diode from Mouser Electronics and put it in series with a 24 volt DC wall transformer available from Radio Shack or Jameco or many other sources. --Steve Y. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Fritz" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 7:52 PM Subject: CS>Making CS Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've made CS and have lost/misplaced most of what I was using to make CS. I plan on building a new generator. And was wondering what the current consensus on making CS is. I am going to get new wire for making CS I will be making it in a mason jar Any recommendations on what length cathode/electrode for jar size? I will be using 12 gauge silver wire. What size batch? 16, 32, 64OZ Should I use polarity switching? Should I also have an on/off cycle? What voltage/current? I would look in the archives but they disappeared Any idea if/when they will return? Also if this info is on a web page somewhere could you please point me to it? Thank you!
