CS Generator And its Voltage

[CLMonkey]

High AFN I thought i would put this in this section in hopes that i can find some of you that are experienced in making CS.
I have found MANY opinions on the correct voltage and the correct amps to use to create the best CS..
This is my CS rig, and my DC power supply is adjustable from 0-30 volts DC and 0-5 amps. so i have heard that higher voltage and lower amps will produce smaller more usable silver particles.. so can yah help a monkey out? lol
This is my rig

i isolated the silver and put small holes in the top

i pinched the end and melted it shut, then added very small pin holes
So the air comes out slowly as not to splash around, but still circulate the water
I tested it with an airstone, but i felt that the airstone would hold, or absorb silver
making the ppm hard to control..this way i just have the air




ok, so i found that jm has a post on this at > https://www.autoflower.org/f117/definitive-colloidal-silver-tutorial-9878.html

I am still confused on if using higher voltage with lower amps will sreat smaller particles, making for better absorption?

Looks like a pukka rig - proper job - but well beyond me!!! Wishing you the very best of luck though:kusht:

I had the same problem. I ended up just using what ever wall wart I had and it worked fine. Bob will probably hop in here with some good info. I like the set up with the built in bubbler very nice! I'll need to get a bubble on my next batch

Salutations CLMonkey,

...in hopes that i can find some of you that are experienced in making CS.

Well, i wish i were an experienced CS user but i'm not... Good luck with that venture!

Howdy Monkey, it's been a while dude, how's things??

Nice set-up dude, once you've got the numbers dialled in that should work perfectly

I agree though, wait for Bob to show up before seeking advice elsewhere, he'll have all the answers you need but I do know that the first thing he'll tell you to do is check out his thread. Every last piece of info you could ever want about C.S is in here.

Amps... I'm not sure but I've noticed the particles become much too large using anything higher than 9v, but as I say, it'll all be in that thread if your up for a little reading

first off let me say, thats a damn fine looking diy c.s generator

ok , so yeah low amps but also low voltage are what we want

higher makes for higher ppm but also makes for larger particles

6-9 volt is ideal and 500mA , with those ratings it is very very hard to get over 40 ppm , but the particles will be as small as possible and really you dont need over 40 ppm of properly made c.s for any reason , at 40 ppm if you shine a lazer pointer through the water it looks like a SOLID beam of silver , and when made properly the water remains clear and the silver is invisible to the naked eye

i would always use 6 volts given the choice because i drink this stuff too and want the particles as small as possible , but 9 will work for drinking and be a bit faster at making it

hope that helps

peace

I agree with Bob great looking c.s generator

Cool thank you bob, i was told you was the man to see, and im glad you like my handy work.. i have all kinds of mod projects i would love to try.
especially a few shroom cabinets
I play around with random electronic projects and having a descent power supply comes in handy for test firing stuff.

and thank you to all that responded. So my plan and im sticking to it is:
6v @.500ma EZ Nuff

TY TY
Peace Monkey

High!

Great job bro...starting auto's and already thinking reverse? :smokebuds:

Peace!

Peace!

yeah bro, i have a couple of my own photo crosses that i want to go fem with, and with my limited area i just want to pop fems straight to there pots.
since i am a bit of an electronics geek i already had the power supply for when i run experiments, i figured why not lol
I have a really nice c99 crossed with Skunk #1 & NL that i call slutty cindy and i have some pure landrace paki that i am going to bread with THC bomb
and also NL & C99. i have a 2x2 tent that i will use for breading.
Peace
