This AC powered colloidal silver generator II makes the ionic silver solution. AC powered generators produce colloidal silver solution with more silver particles than silver ions. So, based upon the foremost research studies, AC produced colloidal silver is supposed to be of higher quality. This unit produces a quart of the solution in 30 minutes (vs. 3-4 hours for the colloidal silver generator III).
This design is easily constructed at home for under $20, as it uses a recycled AC adapter for power. This design is simpler and more efficient than the original generator design, but not as refined as the new Colloidal Silver Generator III. The AC adapter (110V-32V/.5amp) can be easily found at garage sales, thrift shops or even in your own junk drawer. This is very economical as costly 9V batteries are not needed. This design makes a higher grade of the solution, faster, more consistently, and in larger quantities.
Historically speaking, silver has been used to treat a variety of conditions including: fungus, viral and bacterial infections and burns. It "reportedly" works by interfering with the respiration of pathogenic organisms. It is used both topically and internally; by drinking, applying to the skin, or swishing under the tongue (sublingually). Even small amounts of colloidal silver solution can kill 100% of bacteria and viruses quickly when added to samples of heavily polluted water.
Colloidal silver solution "reportedly"
bolsters our immune system while dispatching single celled organisms.
Because this solution is 100% lethal to pathogens, it does not
create more resistant varieties like antibiotics. Applied to
burns it accelerates healing and new cell growth. It can be sprayed
from an atomizer on skin, or into the mouth and throat. It can
also be used on infants, children and pets.
Supplies You will need to make this colloidal silver design:
- AC adapter (mine was from an old HP 540C printer 30V/.5amps).
This one seems ideal, but any 110AC adapter within an output
range of 24V-36V/ at .5 amp to 1 amp will work.
- distilled water
- 1 quart mason jar
- two wires, coins or bars of 99.99% pure silver (sources below)
- wood or plastic stir stick
- wood glue
- two small alligator clips, from Radio Shack
- small button toggle safety switch, from Radio Shack(not shown)
- small wooden base (4" x 8" or so)
- multi tool or Swiss army knife (to cut and saw with)
- thin wooden strips (for top cross piece to hold the silver
wires)
- plastic lid (as a base for Mason jar)
- large rubber band or elastic cord (to secure AC adapter to
base
- Funnel to transfer the silver elixir into storage bottles
- scotchbrite pad for cleaning silver wires after each use
- an optional aquarium air pump, to agitate the solution during
electrolysis.
Making the Generator
1. Cut wooden base to fit AC adapter, and Mason jar. Drill holes
to secure adapter to base
2. Cut wooden cross bar that fits top of Mason jar (1" wider
than jar mouth)
3. Drill two holes one inch apart in the center of cross bar
(to hold silver wires). These should be just slightly larger
than diameter of silver wires.
4. Glue two small wooden pieces to opposite ends of wooden cross
bar, so bar fits snugly onto top of Mason jar. (you can turn
jar upside down on top of the cross bar to glue the ends so the
fit will be exact).
5. With the adapter unplugged :-) cut the AC adapter cord's plug
(cut the low voltage wire end, not the wall plug end) and leave
about one and one half feet of wire intact.
6. Strip about 1/2 inches off of the cut wire ends.
7. Attach alligator clips to the wire ends and crimp with pliers
to secure them.
8. Install safety switch and/or a small light bulb* to wire between
alligator clips and the AC adapter (not shown in photos, as I
use a surge protector with a built in switch and light).
9. Assemble generator as shown in the photo below:
10. Fill mason jar with distilled
water 1/4" to 1/2" from the top.
11. Attach the 2 alligator clips to silver wires ends sticking
up from the cross bar, and slip them through the drilled holes
in the jar's wooden cross bar.
12. Plug in the AC adapter to wall outlet. You are ready to begin
making colloidal silver solution.
13. Throw switch while muttering "It's alive... it's alive"
like Doctor Frankenstein.
14. Set a timer for 30 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or
so with a chopstick or other non-conductive swizzle stick. This
increases the production of the beneficial silver ions and reduces
white scale and black silver crystals (which you don't want in
the final product). Tiny fizzy bubbles will start to form after
a few minutes on one pole. A flashlight beam helps to see this.
After process is completed, strain mixture through a non-bleached
coffee filter or cotton cloth to remove any crystals or scale.
Store the elixir in a dark glass bottle in a cool place. This
will keep for several months, but it is best to make small quantities
and uss when fresh.
15. Wash mason jar after every use, then rinse with distilled
water. Clean silver wires with scotchbrite pad to remove scale
and silver crystals.
To increase the quality of
your colloidal solution, you can use an aquarium air pump with
a short hose to agitate the solution. Experts agree that this
helps make the best quality solution.
The usual dosage is 1-2 tablespoons twice per day. Some people
claim that their intestinal flora can be disrupted by colloidal
silver. I haven't had a problem with this myself. But if this
happens to you, it is best to swish it around the mouth and/or
gargle the solution and not swallow. This allows absorption of
beneficial silver ions through the mucus membranes (sublingual
absorption). Eating yogurt several hours later will replace any
friendly bacteria lost.
Many alternative health sources "claim" that colloidal
silver offers some protection from air or water-born viruses
and pathogens (such as the common cold, flu, smallpox, anthrax,
S.A.R.S., etc.) and recommend increasing dosage to one to two
ounces, twice per day when symptoms appear. These sources state
that one must take the solution for 5-7 days before full protection
to take effect.
*An online reader suggested that a small light bulb be added in line as a safely feature, to show when contact is being accidentally made.
