RE: Does the heating need to be done during processing? I do it after processing because I don't have a hot plate. I just boil the solution after processing. Is that not alright?

A. In this particular case, the answer is yes, as the changes and benefits that come with the admission of heat are specific to the chemical interactions that takes place during processing.

That said, here's a short list of some of the observed changes that take place with a solution processed at 100c;

  1. Improved conductivity - (reduction of ramp-up processing times)
  2. Increase in saturation(ppm) - (effective ppm)
  3. Reduction of oxide formation at the anode - (moving free oxygen out of solution)
  4. Increasing oxide solubility - (promoting dissolution of silver oxides)
  5. Reduction(conversion) of silver ions into elemental silver at cathode - (pure silver instead of silver oxides)

Therefore and with this in mind, I'd add that the inherent changes that take place with the admission of heat are significant in terms of the characteristics(quality) of the solution. ie, a heat processed colloidal silver solution will most often exhibit unsurpassed clarity and cleanliness(containing no deposits).

Likewise, it has been my observation that these types of solutions are far more effective(potent) than with their room temp counterparts in cases where systemic treatments are concerned. Which I conclude to be the result of the higher ionic content that come with them, and what advantages this would have on the diffusion of the CS into the blood stream - transdermal(under tongue, inhalation etc).

 

RE: A nice and useful calculator! Just what we DIYers need. Thank you!

A. I just realized that this calculator is limited to wire gauge calculations, and so I'm thinking this warrants the need for an upgrade to accommodate other anode types(coins, bullion etc)

 

RE: I could make the cathode into a "U" shape and position it such that it's kind of surrounding (but not touching) the silver coin, right?

A. I'm thinking this could work, so long as the final assembly is fine-tuned for the setup(distance between electrodes, total volume etc). Though I'd add that this would likely limit you to a fixed setup.

 

RE: Have you ever produced a solution that did not form any dark particles that you had to filter?

A. Absolutely. I stopped making dirty CS the day I incorporating heat in my process :)

 

RE: ...It may be because I've always left it running too long.

A. I'd say this is a very good guess. As over processing room temp CS will cause the particles to agglomerate and drop out of suspension. That said, it's been my observation that the only way to avert this is to clean your cathode excessively during processing and hold short of the theoretical saturation limit(ppm). - ie, many DYI systems will target between 10 and 15ppm

 

RE: I start it in the morning before I leave for work and stop it about 10 hours later when I return home from work. I wonder if the CS I'm making in this manner is still good?

A. If you can provide all the specifications for your setup, I think we can estimate what your total run-times should be with maximum saturation(ppm) in mind.  - incl. voltage and current

Following this, you could(for example) add a timer to your circuit. Though I'd add that this alone won't likely be sufficient in producing a clean solution in cases where maximum saturations are the goal(ppm). - and so one common method in circumventing this, is to hold short in processing(ppm) and placing the solution on a slow heat so as to evaporate and raise the concentration. - an old but useful trick

 

RE: I'm already using a current limiting diode in my setup. But seeing your diagram, it seems that I placed the diode on the wrong side - the anode. Your diagram has the diode on the cathode.

A. The current limiter can be placed on either side of the circuit(pos/neg). That said, the thing of importance with these is that the polarity of the diode must be observed, otherwise it will not limit the current. - you can test this with a simple multimeter by measuring the current flow during processing. - ie, if the current tops out(limited), then you know you're in good hands. If not, then the diode is likely wired-in backwards

 

RE: The stripe on the diode must point toward the power supply side, not toward the silver electrode or the alligator clip leading to the electrode.' Is this instruction wrong? I hope not, and I hope it doesn't matter which electrode you place the diode on. ;)

A. Some current limiting diodes have indicator strips on them, whereas others(such as J-series) do not. That said, it's always best to test your circuit beforehand, if not only for piece of mind.

- hope this helps
