Well, the CS generator seems to be working, but I was a little concerned at first because it is not a very clean process. There's a lot of oxidation and scaling taking place, with silver tarnish occurring, so the fluid is actually getting very dark and seems almost burnt. There's no heat, or smoke, and I have read this is pretty normal with pure silver. Glad I wasn't planning on drinking this stuff.
It's pretty slow going though, and I'm not sure what the transfer rate of 1 gram of silver into colloidal silver will be given that some of it appears to be oxidizing off. Or how long it will take to actually dissolve the entire gram... However, over night I have been able to generate a CS solution of 65 ppm. Though this is only in about 5 teaspoons of water, so that's not saying very much.
My biggest concern is that the silver electrodes are so small that the alligator clips are getting exposed to the water as well, so I think some of this is probably tainted with steel, or whatever the alligator clips are made out of. This morning when I looked there was literally scales of silver floating on the top of the water. From what I've read it's best to try to stir the solution up with a chopstick ( not metal or plastic ) or something to keep the oxidation from accumulating too much, and to promote smaller silver particles.
Anyway, there's quite a bit of silver left, and so far the ppm is up to 65, but I don't know how long or high how it will end up going.
