~COLLOIDAL SILVER~


This is how I make it.

You need:

- A power source- AC/DC adapter or 9 volt battery.

- Silver (coins, scrap, jewelry (it won't wreck the jewelry but you may still want to be careful and not get caught doing this if the jewelry happens to not belong to you.) In this case I'm using some odd shaped scraps leftover from making cutout jewelry.

- Distilled water. (I'm not sure it needs to be distilled but it seems a good idea. I use rainwater)

Find a AC/DC adapter. Common power supply for most small electrical devices, and I'm guessing most people have lots of extras around the place that they can afford to butcher.
If not then you only need to hit up any second hand store or similar type rubbish heap and you'll find bins full. The planet is clogged with these things. Grab a couple in case one burns out.

You can use a nine volt battery instead of an adapter. But why waste new batteries when you could waste an old adapter.

Cut the thingy off the end and strip the wires back a couple inches.

Then I like to test that the adapter is working by putting the wires in a dark place and touching them together briefly. If it's active there will be a tiny spark. But it's very small so you do need a dark corner to see it.

Twist each wire around a piece of silver. You may need to drill a hole in it if it's a coin. But probably you'll be able to improvise your way around that if you don't want to drill a hole in the silver. Just tie it tightly so there's good contact.

Hang them in the water together.

Within a few minutes you'll see bubbles starting to form on at least one of the silver pieces.

I've left mine 24 hours and used the result successfully. The second batch, which I'm using now, I left for 48 hours, and the water was a disgusting looking sludge by then. I strained it to lose the black foam that had formed.


Adapters tend to burn out doing this. If it's not bubbling anymore it's probably burnt out.

Someone told me that pure water is a crappy electrical conductor and I should find something to add to it to increase conductivity, but I never looked into it.
I'm sure the process is exponential as the more silver there is in the water, the better it conducts. So it probably struggles in the beginning and is more prone to burn out then.

I'm just giving you the basic concept, which works. I'll trust you to be smart enough to go ahead and fill in any blanks and extra frills. (Consider cleaning contact points on the silver, use disposable container, vary voltages and time for strength of CS solution, look into ways to improve upon my method, etc etc)

I got this from a tutorial online a few years ago. I remember that it came with all sorts of dire warnings about the exact way as you had to do everything for it to work properly. I just pretty much ignored them all. The concept is very simple, and we aren't making something here that we plan on drinking.

Don't drink it, and don't use your girl's silver without asking, and you won't die.
