This tutorial provides a detailed explaination of all of the parts needed to construct the most basic colloidal silver generator possible. The material provided in this entire tutorial provides the means of creating a basic colloidal silver generator that anyone can safely build, with no technical or electronics experience required. Please keep in mind that the basic generator creates a product that is inferior to more advanced production methods. We have found, however, that the basic generator, when the instructions are followed, produces an effective colloidal silver.

Supplies Need to Build the Generator
Four nine volt alkaline batteries are needed to achieve the desired 30 volts of electricity. Although four batteries in series total 36 volts, the drain on the batteries quickly starts to bring the total voltage down. See the advanced basic generator pages for modifications to control the current/voltage output. Also note that three batteries can be used, but for our tutorial, we suggest four.
Two nine-volt battery-to-clamp adapters
and two metal clamps.
One glass production vessel ( 6 - 12 ounces )
Two fine silver rods ( 9 cm rods shown, minimum 14 gauge ) or two strips of 18 gauge fine silver wire. Any silver used must be at least 99.9 percent pure. See our products page for sources.
• One gallon of distilled water ( Walgreens and Arrowhead are two recommended brands )
• A roll of pure white paper towels
• One pure nylon scrub pad ( the green Scotch Brite pads )
• A glass or FDA grade plastic container to store the colloidal silver in ( UV protected glass is recommended )

besides using a .999 silver wire would there be any advantage to using silver ingots or coins that are .9999? Or would the size/shape of a coin interfere with the process?

Subject: Distilled water?
If I may ask you, why do I need distilled water. What happens if I use regular water? Is there a chance how to DIY a distilled water?
Thanx for the advise

You want distilled water because you want no other minerals or potential chemicals in the water. Distilled water is pure H2O and nothing else. Also, the other minerals could affect the conductivity between the two silver rods. Pure water, plus a pinch of sea salt to mildly increase the conductivity (salt-water is much more condusive to the flow of electricity than plain water), ensures that your colloidal silver is pure.

Subject: Silver Hardness
Regarding the hardness of the electrodes, do you recommend soft, medium, or hard?
Thanks.

I learned to be a Silversmith. The only use I know of the terms hard medium and soft in Silver is in Silver solders. These are blended metals and are not Sterling Silver 925. The Silver you need for Colloidal Silver is Fine or pure silver 999. Oops. There is another hard silver. It is another mixture used to make Pin Wires. Also annealing the Silver only realigns the molecules. It doesn't change the composition of the silver. Annealed Fine Silver will still be 999 and suitable for use in Colloidal Silver.

Has colloidal sliver shown any benefits for receding gums, in your experience, please? This is a general question, not a request for diagnosis. THANKS.

Subject: colloidal start
Is there a "start" that I need when I first make my colloidal silver? I have read one place that you use sea salt water in the distilled water to make the colloidal silver. I read another place that you need a start and then you would use 2 to 4 oz of colloidal silver in all the other batches that you make. I have not been able to find the answer to my question. Could you please help me.

If you at salt to the water to increase conductivity, you will also end up with silver chloride. Reading elsewhere on this site, it is mildly poisonous and increases the argyria risk.
Adding a little colloidal silver from a previous batch could work, but make sure it is good and clean otherwise you will contaminate your new batch.
Distilled water is mildly conductive. If you don't use a "starter" it will just take longer to finish the batch. There is nothing wrong with that unless you are under time restraints. Personally, I prefer purity over any rush.

If you must speed up the start process you can ad some from a previous batch or you might move the electrodes very close together for a short period.
