To show how complicated the chemistry actually is:
Heres something
Many many thanks for info like this! So much really really GOOD info is behind Elsevier's science high dollar paper paywall....
I could hit up all the PHD kids, or walk 1000 yards to the state university library (Prolly all on-line too but I am too old for that crap
.....) I actually had a 'free" science paper site once but it did not catch on very well. But these days, I rather like to make make own science and let them all chase me.
And too that note, check this stuff out for a color sample!
That is distilled water at 23C "cooked" with two a bit warn but clean 12ga wire electrodes. Nothing was added to the water. No Na2CO3 or reducer and basically following the basic protocol for "Making 20 ppm Ionic Silver Without Electrolyte" in the Elite 2 manual. No pulsing, but pure DC....
Before adding the electrolyte and glucose after it was finished, is was very clear...
Just two 12ga silver wires about 60mm in 200ml of distilled water. 2.00mA for 30 min. After that 0.2cc of 1 Mol Na2CO3 was addend and then 0.1cc of 1Mol glucose.
Everything was done with a magnetic stirrer pushing things around moderately.
Of course, how does one get 2.000 mA across the electrodes in DI water?
I have a Very BIG toy chest!!
I dusted this baby off... 10,000 volts at 2.5 mA.....
I still haze MUCH bigger too!
But this one still is 120V.
Never play with high voltage power supplies like this unless you are an internationally known high voltage guru like I am!
No, really though... Don't do high voltages unless you really are super careful!!! You will burn your s**** off super quick!
But with my toy I could run 2.00mA across my 200ml distilled water for 30 min to get to the grail of 20 ppm and that's how it turned out......
kephra: I think you have shown once again why we do not use pulse width modulation.
I really doubt that any of your ppms are correct.
But maybe "color" does not mean jack s*** either....
If processes are made the same and are reproducible that IS a giant step!!
But process range scans in this game seem to indicate massive verifiability....
We actually need to pin down the color game much more!!!!
Using the same numbers, we can make almost any color now...................
