| Make Your Own Colloidal Silver - Multiple
Methods |

Basic and Powerful method by Steve Cox
I discovered a simple addition that makes everything else fall
neatly into place for the Alternative Medicine Research Foundation's
original colloidal silver generator design: Saran Wrap!
Placing Saran Wrap over the top of the container and poking it
down into the water in the middle prevents over-spray from reaching
the clips and has the additional benefit of limiting open air
contact during the electrolytic process. With the addition of this
final piece to the puzzle, I believe we have a completed colloidal
silver generator design that guarantees consistent results with no
undesired side-processes occurring.
A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say, so I have
prepared five images, labeled with explanations and instructions as
necessary. I think you'll find the overview pictures below
especially useful in making all this clear to the potential builder.

| I bought two 1 oz. solid
silver bars from a coin dealer. They are marked Nemo's and
stamped .999 FINE SILVER. These bars cost me about $13 for
both, including tax. |
Here's how I bent the
silver bars so they would fit on the side of the vase I use
to make our colloidal silver. |
Here's what the silver bar
looks like when it's properly bent and placed on my
colloidal silver generator. |
Using Saran Wrap to cover the top of the container prevents moisture
from reaching the clips and thus becoming part of the electrolytic
process. This simple addition assures you of pure colloidal silver.
Here's a complete overview of Steve Cox's variation of the Colloidal
Silver Generator first developed by The Alternative Medicine
Research Foundation.
Simple and Powerful Method by Dr. Jon Brooks
- Buy a 6 volt DC transformer for about 5 clams. Better yet,
pick up one at a flea market for fifty cents. The current
doesn't matter as this method uses less than one ma. Regarding
the size of the little wall transformer, Radio Shack has 300 ma.
and 800 ma. The maximum current our process uses is 1/2 ma. so
any will do just fine. We are beginning to receive many reports
of efficacy for all kinds of problems. There is no down side
risk in these concentrations. One can use four 1.5 volt
flashlight batteries in series. They will last a long time.
- Clip the connector off the end of the wire.
- Get two alligator clips from Radio Shack for a buck.
- Carefully separate the two wires. Strip the insulation off
for about 1 inch.
- Connect each lead to the clip.
- You need two electrodes. Don't waste $15.00 for 1/4 oz.
pieces of silver wire. Go to a any coin store and buy two
Canadian Maple Leafs for about $6.50 ea. Each has 1.2 oz. of
.9999 pure silver, enough to make more CS than you will ever
use.
- Buy a gallon of distilled water for about seventy cents.
- Buy a tiny fish tank bubbler machine for about eight bucks.
They will have the neoprene tubing as well. You will need about
two feet.
- Be sure the coin is squeaky clean. Clamp them to opposite
sides of an 8 oz. glass of distilled water.
- Place the tubing to the bottom of the glass.
- Fill the glass with distilled water ONLY up to the bottom of
the clips. One does not want the metal, from the clips, in
contact with the water, only the coins.
- Plug in the little transformer and oxygenation machine.
- Run for about five hours.
- Carefully remove the coins. There will be residue on them
and you don't want that in the solution. For even more purity,
use the neoprene tubing and siphon the solution into a clean
glass/or plastic container. (In these parts a siphon hose is
referred to as an "Arkansas credit card".)
- Keep the CS out of sunlight in an air tight bottle.
- Clean the coins thoroughly preparing for the next batch.
Low Voltage Colloidal Silver Generator with Mechanical
Stirring
These are some of the best instructions I have seen to build a
colloidal silver production vessel. I found them on a long forgotten
website and they have served in good stead in my quest to produce
high quality low voltage direct current (LVDC) colloidal silver. The
design incorporates "Ole Bob's" concept of constant stirring. Use
whatever your chosen power source is to generate the CS ie: 3 - 9
volt batteries, wall wart, etc.
Materials:
- 1 each Wide Mouth Quart Mason Jar
- 1 each Plastic Wide Mouth Lid (from a Miracle Whip jar or
from Ball or Kerr)
- 1 each 0-5 milliamp DC Gauge ( good one is the Shurite
#8302Z ) or multimeter if you have one
- 1 each RS ( Radio Shack ) 1.5-3.0 Volt DC Motor ( P/N
273-223 ).
- 1 each 2-3 inch piece of wire insulation stripped off of a
piece of 14 gauge electrical wire
- 2 each RS 75 ohm Chassis Mount TV Coax Connectors (P/N
278-212)
- 1 each RS "D" Cell Battery Holder ( P/N 270-403A ) to power
the stirring motor
- 1 each RS Mini-Volume Control Potentiometer ( P/N 271-215B )
to control the speed of the stirring motor
- 1 pkg RS 14" Jumper Leads Pkg of 10 (P/N 278-1156C) to
connect everything
- 3 each 9 volt alkaline batteries ( if that's what you want
to use to power it )
- 2 each .999 or .9999 12 or 14 gauge silver electrodes. Keep
them at least 3/4 inch away from the bottom of the jar (vessel)
- 2 each RS 9 Volt Battery snap connectors to connect to the
batteries.
Install the 2 Chassis Mount TV Coax Connectors in the lid so that
the electrodes are about 1 to 1 1/4 inch apart (sort of off to one
side of the top of the lid -- remember you also need room for the
stirring motor).
Install the Stirring Motor in the lid ( I used hot glue gun ) so
that a 2 inch or so piece of wire insulation, off of a piece of 14
gauge electrical wire, can stir freely without hitting the
electrodes. It will take trial and error to determine where to place
the Motor and how long to make the stirrer ( the stirrer slides
conveniently right onto the shaft of the RS motor ).
You now have your version of a CS Production Vessel.
Use the Jumper leads to attach the "D" Cell battery holder with
battery ( put the potentiometer in the circuit to control the speed
of the stirring ) to the two connections on the stirring motor. You
are now the proud owner of a working CS stirrer!!
Use more Jumper leads to attach the Power Source ( 3-9 volt
batteries ) to the two electrodes. Include the 0-5 DC milliamp gauge
or a multimeter into the circuit so you can read the Initial
Resistance and then the final resistance when the CS is done. When
you first put the Distilled Water into the vessel, the Initial
Resistance should be about ½ milliamp or lower, depending on how
pure your DW is. Run this setup with the stirring motor stirring the
DW until the voltage is between 2.6 and 2.8 milliamps or so. It
should take about 4 hours. I don't have any idea what the PPM of
silver this mixture has, but it has worked wonders on many different
conditions. The CS should be clear.
I am not an electrician or an engineer. I post this for
informational purposes only and do not remember where it was
originally posted. Use this information at your own risk!
[Four nine volt batteries can be used as well in this design. We
found that utilizing the stirring device to control the current was
a novel idea]
Colloidal Silver Generator II -
Batteries Not Required
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 30-60 minutes depending on the voltage and amperage of
the adapter.
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:
-
 Cut
wooden base to fit AC adapter, and Mason jar. Drill holes to
secure adapter to base
- Cut wooden cross bar that fits top of Mason jar (1" wider
than jar mouth)
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- Strip about 1/2 inches off of the cut wire ends.
- Attach alligator clips to the wire ends and crimp with
pliers to secure them.
- 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).
- Assemble generator as shown in the photo below:
- Fill mason jar with distilled water 1/4" to 1/2" from the
top.
- 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.
- Plug in the AC adapter to wall outlet. You are ready to
begin making colloidal silver solution.
- Throw switch while muttering "It's alive... it's alive" like
Doctor Frankenstein.
- 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.
- 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.

Colloidal Silver DC Generator III - LW's new
and improved Design
by Lightman
- revised 11.16.03
As each year goes by improvements in the process of making
colloidal silver abound. The Colloidal Silver Generator III reflects
these improvements over the Colloidal Silver Generator II.
The improvements Include:
- A 9v DC adapter / 300mA - 500mA (used to charge batteries)
instead of the 36volt/.5 Amp AC adapter. The DC unit produces a
greater quantity of silver ions and fewer silver particles than
the AC powered unit. Researchers dissagree as to which is
better: smaller but more abundant more silver particles, or more
silver ions. Both occur during electroysis, but vary as to AC or
DC current.
- A small aquarium pump to agitate the solution as it is being
electrolicized. This is easier than stirring continuously, and
radically improves the ppm.
Making the Colloidal Silver Generator III
Supplies You will need to make this new colloidal silver design:
-
 a
DV adapter (9V/ 300mA-500mA). Available at Radio Shack for about
$5. I got several for .25 cents each at a thrift shop.
- distilled water
- 1/2 quart mason jar
- two 99.99% pure silver wires , coins, or bars
- aquarium air pump (often found at thrift shops)
- two insulated alligator clips, from Radio Shack
- small wooden base (4" x 8" or so)
- saw or Swiss army knife for cutting wood strips
- wood glue for jar top
- electric drill and bit
- plastic lid (as a base for Mason jar)
- large rubber band or elastic cord (to secure DC adapter to
base
- wood scraps to make jar cap/wire holder
Additional supplies
- Surge protector strip with on/off switch. So you can turn on
DC .adapter and air pump at the same time.
- Funnel to transfer the silver elixir into storage bottles
- scotchbrite pad for cleaning silver wires after each use
Making the Generator
- Cut wooden base to fit DC adapter, and Mason jar.
- Cut wooden cross bar that fits top of Mason jar (1" wider
than jar mouth)
- 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.
-
 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). Note: To use silver bars or coins instead of silver wire
electrodes, this design must be modified. I suggest permanantly
attaching the alligator clips to the side of the wooden
crossbar, with the clips pointed down (1/2" below bottom of the
crossbar). In this way you can attach any silver coin or bar to
the alligator clips.
- With the adapter unplugged :-) cut the DC adapter plug (cut
the low voltage wire end, not the wall plug end) and leave most
of the wire attached.
- Strip about 1/2 inch off of each of the cut wire ends.
- Attach alligator clips to the wire ends and crimp with
pliers, or solder to secure them.
- 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).
- Assemble generator as shown in the photo below. Make sure
that the air pump is rubber banded to the base, or it will
vibrate off. :
- Fill mason jar with distilled water 1/4" to 1/2" from the
top.
- 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.
- Plug in the AC adapter to wall outlet. You are ready to
begin making colloidal silver solution.
- Throw switch on the surge protector while muttering "It's
alive... it's alive" like Doctor Frankenstein.
- Set a timer for three to four hours minutes.
- Make sure that both the pump and the DC adapter are working.
You can hear the pump, but might have to test the DC output with
a voltage tester.
- The bubbler enhances the quality of the silver solution 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 is reported to keep for several months, but it
is best to make small quantities as needed. Fresh is best.
- Wash mason jar, and air pump tube after every use, then
rinse with distilled water. Clean silver wires with scotchbrite
pad to remove scale and silver crystals, then rinse. Dry then
store all components of the generator together in a dust-proof
tupper or container.
The Generator III hooked up to surge protector.
Dosage
The usual dosage is 1-2 tablespoons twice per day. Some people
with touchy stomachs 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

Additional Suggestions From Readers:
Firstly, I prefer a 1 quart glass mayonnaise jar with a plastic
top, I'd be a little concerned about the metal top of the mason jar
leaching into the silver water, just my opinion.
My preference for the alligator clips are the plated or stainless
steel type to prevent copper from leaching into the water if
splashed.
Mentioned in the article but not shown in the picture: you should
add a fish tank 'bubbler' with tubing, to the system to keep mixing
the solution while the added oxygen from the bubbler helps to keep
the particles small. Some brewers actually ad oxygen drops to the
solution to break up the silver particles, so the added oxygen
brought in by the bubbler is an added bonus, not to mention the
mixing action that it provides. Larger particles can not be absorbed
into the blood from the lining of the stomach so it is important to
keep the silver particles as small as possible. Only the smallest
particles are effective against viruses and many bacteria as well.
As far as the electrodes go, I prefer using 2 Canadian Maple leaf
silver $5 pieces placed about 1.25" apart. They are graded at .9999%
silver and will last for ever. I buy them un-circulated and sealed
in plastic by the mint, from a coin dealer in my area for about $7
or $8 ea. They have much more surface area than the silver wires so
more is available to conduct electricity and drop silver particles
into the solution. You can either drill holes through the top of the
plastic jar-cover and clip into place from the outside (so clips
don't come into contact with water). Or as I recently did - drill
small holes through the tops of the coins and run .9999 silver wires
through and stick through the jar cover to clip leads to. The coins
will hang from the wires into the water. Using silver wire to hang
off of allows the coins to be almost completely submerged (more
surface area). Be sure coins are secured so they do not touch
together and short your circuit causing the power supply to blow
out.
When colloidal silver starts brewing in the distilled water, the
water has very little conductivity and the particles break off in
very small sizes (most useful to the body). As silver starts getting
into the water, the water becomes much more conductive and the
particles start getting larger and larger as the water becomes more
conductive, until you can actually see the particles and they can
become huge which are totally useless to the body, they call this
silver mud (something you don't want).
You need a way to monitor this and control the current. Using the
plan shown on the link, it is good to ad an amp meter or digital
multi-meter that can be purchased at Wal-Mart for about $17. Just
connect it in series with the positive lead of your CS generator.
this can also act as a circuit breaker in case you accidentally hit
the 2 leads together. When you start the brewing process your
distilled water will probably read about 100u-amps (1/10 of a
milliamp). You will see the numbers on the amp meter rise as micro
particles of silver drops into the solution and the water becomes
more conductive to electricity.
As the conductivity rises and the numbers go up on the meter,
your particles will also get larger. You need to ad a current
limiting device to the circuit. A potentiometer or variable resister
works okay, but has to be monitored and manually adjusted to keep
the current down.
You can automatically control the current by adding a 'current
limiting diode'. Insert the diode in series with the positive lead
of the CS generator (anode), be sure that the little stripe on the
diode is pointing toward the power supply side of the circuit and
not toward the electrode or alligator clip leading to the electrode.
Using the current limiting diode will allow the current to
maintain at a set amount. Many people that brew their own CS, limit
there current to stay under 1 ma. I've done a lot of experimenting
and actually prefer keeping the current much lower, around max .28
milliamps, using a 30VDC power supply. This keeps the solution
crystal clear, which tells me that the end product has extremely
small particles. There is a slight metallic taste. You know the CS
is there because when the solution is done, if you temporarily
bypass the diode you will see the water conductivity is now about
1.2 milliamps, 10Xs greater than at the start. Results confirmed
with a PWT meter (more about this later).
You can purchase various 'current limiting diodes' to keep it at
1 milliamps, .5 milliamps, or less, and experiment for yourself.
When I run at a 1 milliamp limit, I find some larger particles that
I end up having to filter out with an unbleached coffee filter. If
not filtered these particles will probably just drop out of solution
after being refrigerated for a couple of days, as they are actually
not colloidal. The lower current prevents the need to filter and
lessens the chance of adding contaminants or paper dust to the
solution.
I had trouble finding these diodes at Radio Shack. I got the best
price from Mouser.com and the service was great. I plan to build my
Auto-Godzilla getting most of the parts from Mouser as well. Here is
a catalog link for the current limiting diodes from mouser. Tip: odd
numbers same money - a 1ma limit diode is $4.29 whereas a .91ma
diode is only $1.78.
http://www.mouser.com/catalog/622/287.pdf
A home built CS generator works best with everything plugged into
a power strip with its own built-in circuit breaker, plugged into a
grounded electric timer. Most exterior type timers are grounded. The
timer allows you to set it and forget it once you experiment and
find out how long your brewing times should be to get the desired
results.
To estimate your silver content in solution, you can find a TDS
(total dissolved solvents) meter on eBay for about $10-$15, these
test silver ions, not particles. Also Hanna has a good meter called
a PWT meter (pure water tester), that can be purchased online for as
low as $55. The PWT tests conductivity of water and may be better to
test actual particle content rather than the TDS meter.
Colloidal Silver Solar Generator - LW's new
sun-powered design
by Lightman
- designed on 11.27.03 - Happy Thanksgiving!
Well here is another CS generator using six small recycled solar
cells (I just can't stop myself :o)
The cells were salvaged from a set of old solar path lights that
I got free at a garage sale. Each cell puts out about 4.2 Volts DC.
So I soldered the wires together (+ to -) in series, and the little
guys puts out a respectable 28-32 Volts at .4mA. 30v is the
recommended voltage for making colloidal silver, as it generates
minimal scale and silver crystals, and keeps the silver wires clean
during the process.
The Colloidal Silver Generator IV requires several hours of
direct sunlight (3-4) to produce a good batch of CS. Make sure that
your cables are long enough to locate the mason jar in a dark place
(inside, or in a box) while the solution is being made. Sunlight
degrades colloidal silver solution. An opaque glass jar would work
too.
Use a high grade of distilled water: no ionized or mineralized
drinking water. Stir frequently, or use an aquarium bubbler to
agitate the solution. Follow the same procedures and precautions as
are detailed in the other three generator designs.
Making the Colloidal Silver Generator IV - Sun Powered
Supplies You will need to make this new colloidal silver design:
- a small commercial solar panel, or salvaged solar cells.
- extra insulated wire and alligator clips for hooking up solar
cells/panel
- a soldering iron and some solder (silver solder is
best)
-
 a plywood base for silicone gluing the cells into place
- some scotch tape (to temporarily hold cells in place while
assembling)
- high quality distilled water
- 1/2 quart mason jar
- two 99.99% pure silver wires or silver coins
- wooden chopstick, or
an aquarium air pump (often found at thrift shops) for agitating the
solution
- two insulated alligator clips, from Radio Shack
- saw or
Swiss army knife for cutting wood for cap and base
- wood glue for
jar top
- clear silicone adhesive
- electric drill and bit
- plastic
lid (as a base for Mason jar)
- wood scraps to make jar cap/wire
holder
Additional supplies
- Funnel to transfer the silver elixir into storage bottles
- scotchbrite pad for cleaning silver wires after each use
Making the Generator from individual cells
(#1 to 11 are
optional if you are using a store-bought panel)
- Cut wooden base to fit solar cells (add an extra inch or so if
you are going to frame the base to protect the cells.
- Cut wooden
cross bar that fits top of Mason jar (1" wider than jar mouth), and
two small end pieces.
- 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 used.
- Glue the two
small wooden pieces to opposite ends of wooden cross bar, so bar
fits snugly onto the 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).
A slight twist tightens the cap on the jar if you glue them on the
narrowest thread area.
- Cut some thin wooden strips to make frame
to protect cell array.
- Tape the cells face down on the plywood
base temporarily for positioning
- Wire all of the cells together
and solder the twisted ends together.
- Turn the assembly over
gently (another piece of plywood helps - make a plywood and solar
cell sandwich. Then gently pry the cells away from the board they
are taped to. They will be right-side-up now.
-
 Test the solar
panel to make sure all of your soldered connections are good.
- Glue the protective frame onto the wooden base. You can also glue an
optional piece of Plexiglas on top of the frames to completely seal
in, and protect the panel.
- Use the tube of silicone to glue the
cell array to the base. Take care to keep everything together.
- Strip about 1/2 inch off of each of the long cable cut wire ends.
- Attach alligator clips to the wire ends and crimp with pliers,
or solder to secure them.
- 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).
- Assemble generator as shown in the photo below. -
You are done!
Making the colloidal silver solution
- Fill mason jar with distilled water 1/2" from the top.
- 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.
- Place the solar generator into the sunlight.
You are ready to begin making colloidal silver solution.
- Set a
timer for three to four hours. Turn on the bubbler or start stirring
with the chopstick.
- To make sure that panel is working, you could
test the DC output with a voltage tester.
- You can test the
concentration of the solution with a laser pointer, the silver
particles will reflect the coherent light in a cone shape after the
first hour, this will increase until target concentration is
reached.
- The solution should be clear, or a very light yellow
color when done.
- After process is completed store the elixir in a
dark glass bottle in a cool place. This should keep for a couple of
months, It is best to make small quantities as needed. Fresh is
best.

Warnings - AMA Disclaimer
This device is meant to produce colloidal silver solution, which
is a "mineral supplement". We make no claims about it as an
antibiotic or as a curative agent.
- Some individuals report disruption of friendly flora and
fauna after ingesting colloidal silver. For those who are
gastrically sensitive to colloidal silver; handbooks recommend
gargling colloidal the solution without swallowing, to protect
friendly intestinal bacteria (many silver ions are absorbed
through mucus membranes of the mouth during gargling). The
eating of organic yogurt is sometimes recommended to replace
friendly intestinal bacteria.
- High dosages of colloidal silver over an extended period of
time are not recommended, as these can cause the buildup of
silver residue in the joints, gums and eye whites. But when we
consider the dreadful toxicity and side effects of
pharmaceutical antibiotics, colloiadial silver's side effects
are minor by comparison.
Live long and prosper!
