So wich method is going to produce Mostly silver ions using HVAC??? I tried the open arc method, and it produced a very nice tyndall effect, but after seeing how high the ppm was I learned that an open arc also creates other molecules from the air, resulting in a water that I dont know what is in it! I used a completely underwater arc, but that produced ONLY silver colloid without any ions.... so which method would you recommend???
@TheLinkCourtet2 - Hi there. My meager findings and conclusions are all in the description. Creating the arc in an Argon environment may have made some difference as the (ppm) reading in that experiment was a bit more plausible. However, it’s ultimately impossible for me to know what the actual ionic silver content is without proper lab testing. I have, incidentally, still to decide for myself whether ionic or colloidal is the way to go; both have their share of good and bad press.
@planecrazyish - Hi there. My results are unfortunately more or less what I wrote in the description. Any method where both the electrodes were in contact with the water, resulted in a rapid build-up of non-ionic particles. The Argon-arc method produced a clear solution measuring ~12ppm in 1L of water after 30min. I would like to have it tested to determine the exact content though. HVAC is fast, but not all that easy to work with compared to LVDC. How are you getting on with your silver?
@ssikira - 1L of 12ppm in 30mins is a great result. I've been pretty slack SS, I made 2L about a week ago, because a couple of friends had been asking me for ages to make them some. I have completed my 130v generator, but haven't used it yet. Would like to get a glass vessel that can accommodate the electrode assembly, I'm not really keen on producing in a plastic container.
@planecrazyish - Yep, the PPM was higher than expected. The downside is the need for a protective gas (Ar), which adds cost. Another HVAC method is to have isolated silver leads create a submerged arc, but that would probably sputter off particles rather than ions. Just a guess. I agree about plastic containers. I personally like the laboratory beakers, especially the borosilicate type which one can heat. Good work completing the 130v generator, now you have it when/if you need it.

Hi there SS, great to see another of your videos. What are your results so far with the different ac methods?
