Re: If you own a constant current ionic silver generator ..

I just switched out my roughly 68 ohm resisitor for a 22 ohm resistor placed in series with two 10 ohm resistors that are in parrallel with each other. This should be yielding ~27 ohms of resistance (+/- about 5%).

My unit is now measuring at a steady 2,530 uA (2.53 mA) of current, proving that the formula is correct as I have stated it above for the LM334Z.

I should now have just about exactly 1,000 uA (1 mA) per every square inch of surface area of my submersed silver electrodes.

The LM334Z formula that I stated above can be further simplified to read as follows for 70 degrees farenheit:

RSet = 0.06676/ISet
(where ISet = Amps of current, and where RSet = Ohms of Resistance)

In my case:

Rest = 0.06676/0.0025A
RSet = 26.7 Ohms
