Colloidal Silver Production / Re: Three electrodes (two parallel anodes) - obsolete!
« Last post by aquataur on April 03, 2024, 07:49:05 PM »
I have now obtained a 1 troy ounce worth of silver bullion from the local dealer.
I went with it to a goldsmith, asking if he could somehow fasten the flat silver wires (I used earlier) to it. He could not. The PUK welding machine did not do it and a 999 solder was not to be had.

I finally used a Dremel drill with a stand (used for drilling PCB´s) and a 0.8 mm HSS drill and made a slot right under the rim.
This is a pretty tight fit for the wire as is, and a few gentle blows with a hammer onto the rim fastens the wire shock-proof.

I went and made a batch. I had the impression that with the big anode I have more of a cell voltage headroom, all other things equal.
I saw a litte "smoke"  coming from the anode, so I went back from 6 to 5 mA.

I know a guy who has lab utensils, maybe I get a stirrer for peanuts. This would certainly be an improvement.

I have used them modules to build a Doug coil, pulsed IR/NIR led panels etc. For what they cost, they are very good.
I have taken to using ESP32 chips for my builds now. Truly awesome power in a $1 chip.

Thanks

For fun  you can try one of these PWM Modules 👍🏼

Structured water does not exist in bulk.  Frozen water is structured depending on the conditions it was cooled in (pressure and temperature).  Water adhering to some surfaces (like glass) is structured, but bulk water is not and cannot be simply because of brownian motion knocking the molecules out of alignment.  When water freezes, brownian movement reduces allowing the molecules to line up creating a crystalline effect which makes them pack together and take up more space which is why ice has a different density than liquid water.  Its also why ice is slightly piezoelectric as all the positive and negative ends are in the same orientation.  If you put the bulk water inside a strong enough electric field, the molecules will align until you remove the field since a water molecule since water is a polar molecule. When the field is removed, the lifespan of the structure is 10-15 seconds which has been proven by actual scientific measurement.

As far as silver nanoparticles goes, pulsing the particles at audio frequencies will nave no effect since their resonant frequency is at light frequencies and they are non-polar.  They are not affected by such low frequencies.

Colloidal Silver Production / Structured Colloidal Silver Water

I am curious about this. I have a good handle on the Colloidal Silver maker process. On the Rife side of me, I am now fascinated by the concept of structured water.
So what if you pulsed the Colloidal Silver solution say at 432 or 528 Hz on a magnetic stirrer to get a vortex effect, would this be a more healing product?
Where could I get more information on this?

Thank you

It’s been a while since I made colloidal gold , I remember the energy i felt when consuming it , but what I enjoyed most was the lucid dreaming 👍🏼

Those units tend to create the impression that you throw them at any voltage and they do their thing. Wrong.
As mentioned earlier, any CC circuit has to digest the power it dumps. You easily cook them.

And there is nothing "constant". The datasheet even tells you the current spread.
This "constant" refers to driving LEDs and such, where the term is relatively correct.

Nothing comes without penalty.

The problem with regulator diodes is that they drift as they warm up. They're NOT diodes. They're a JFET with a resistor connected appropriately. There is no high accuracy, temperature stable reference element in them.

If you want that with using a 2 transistor limiter, replace the feedback transistor with a TL431 shunt voltage regulator. Its a 3 pin, TO92 package.  It will require setting the sense resistor to a value where you develop 2.5V across it at the desired current.

The TL431 acts sort of like a voltage comparator comparing the sense input to an internal 2.5V bandgap reference (rock solid stable, temperature compensated).

Resistor between power and the "cathode" side of the thing. The cathode goes to the base of the main transistor. The anode side goes to ground.  The emitter side of the sense resistor goes to the 3rd terminal (shown as a terminal that comes off the body of the diode in the symbol that represents it).

In this configuration it acts like a voltage comparator. IF the voltage on the sense resistor exceeds 2.5V, current flows from the TL431 anode to ground dropping the voltage being presented to the base of the pass transistor, thereby reducing current to compensate. Conversely, too low a voltage causes less current to flow through it which raises the voltage on the base of the pass transistor and increases current flow.

Yeah, for all of a couple pennies a piece from Aliexpress.

If you download a datasheet for the TL431A (Ti.com, others), there should be an application circuit for a precision constant current sink later in the datasheet. Thats what you want.

Just be warned that the pinout of this thing is NOT the same as the transistor you'd be replacing it with!!!  Believe the TL431A datasheet (wink).

A simple solution is a "current regulator". You can get 10 or 15 mA ones for a dollar from Mouser.com plus shipping. Its a simple solution.  Search for S-103T. I used the low current ones to makes DC brain learning devices. At 1-2 mA, they were great. They are directional so do check them with a meter.

Do not trust a cheap power supply to put out 0.015 Amps accurately. I have several of them. Also its serious overkill when a $2 12volt power supply from a thrift store and a current limiter will do the same.
