Colloidal Silver Generators For Homemade Silver
Colloidal silver generators for use in making homemade colloidal silver are a very interesting, yet tricky technology. In order to make a proper colloidal silver solution where the majority of the silver in the liquid, at least 85%, is ionized and suspended in water, one has to monitor the process pretty carefully. This article will cover the pros and cons of using your own home colloidal silver generator, possible cautions to look for, and general knowledge about how the process works. After reading this information, you'll be more equipped to decide whether or not you want to use your own generator, or whether you'd just like to buy premade colloidal silver from a bigger distributor.
Either way, it's still going to be a bit expensive. Buying a generator and the silver rods or thread you'll need isn't terribly cheap. And while making your own silver in bulk is cheaper than buying individual bottles, there's something nice about the high quality standards that the bigger companies employ. I don't want to discourage anyone from purchasing and using a colloidal silver generator, but I definitely want to inform people of just what they'll be getting themselves into.
Listed below are two of the biggest pitfalls of using your own colloidal silver generator, and also a few tips on how to overcome each pitfall.
1. It's Difficult to Really Know the Strength and Concentration. The largest con of using a colloidal silver generator is that without special machinery, a person never really knows the state of the liquid. Without costly equipment, a person cannot really gauge the concentration of the liquid, the ppm, or parts per million of the silver ionized in the solution. Even if you always use the recommended amount of silver in the correct amount of pure water, slight variations can cause differences in the amount of actual ionized silver, verses regular, unionized silver particles in the liquid. In order to overcome this problem, many people use what's called the Tyndall Effect to figure out how much unionized silver remains in the solution. Using a laser and shining a beam through the liquid, the undiluted silver particles will reflect the light, whereas the ionized, diluted particles will not. In a solution that's perfectly ionized, the water should look normal and clear, as if no other chemical were present. As you continue to make your own colloidal silver, the tyndall effect will become more and more handy. Look it up if for more information.
2. Particle Size. One of the things many top distributors boast of their colloidal silver is a very small particle size. Their methods of ionization create very small particles of ionized silver in the water solution, which is beneficial because the smaller the particle size, the more easily absorbed and utilized by the body. In order to overcome this, many people making their own colloidal silver have begun adding very small amounts of hydrogen peroxide to their silver solutions. The hydrogen peroxide has been shown to greatly increase the efficacy of the colloidal silver solution. The hydrogen peroxide breaks apart and reduces the size of the ionized silver particles. But don't use too much hydrogen peroxide. The ratio is only 1:1000 of hydrogen peroxide to colloidal silver.
How do I build a homemade wind generator?
Wondered if anyone knew how to build a simple homemade wind generator to power our home? A homemade wind generator that is not too complicated would be good. Do you know how to build a wind generator? Please help us.Thanks
How to make a homemade generator?
How could i make a small electric generator out of stuff you would find around the house, or stuff i could buy at home depot. Detailed instructions, and possibly even a video would be great! I’m looking at spending less than a hundred dollars. It would also be cool if I could make a wind turbine like thing out of it. Thanks!
How would you change AC into DC in a homemade generator?
I made a homemade simple generator but it makes AC and i need it to be DC.. i have a rectifying diode
The first thing you need to do is figure out how big of a wind generator you need. Most wind generators that are over 1000 watts in generating power are quite a bit more difficult to build. You will need to have your wind generator 15 feet above any obstruction within 300 feet. That is a must.
Some great resources exist but probably reading an article or two about building wind generators would help a lot. Try the resource I listed for a very informative article, there is mention of a website in the article where you can find some great wind generator plans too. Hope this helps, we have built 3 wind generators so far with these plans.
How to make homemade generator?
Im bord have spare materals laying round house ive googled this i cant find a thing that doesent involve a lawn mower. Im talking about little homemade generators that run a led or something by spinning a stick fast or something ha yea this question doesent sound to smart but i can follow instructions.
So does anyone have any links to instructions for this type of thing? thanks
With one diode, you can deliver a pulsed (a.k.a., “half-wave”) current waveform to the load. With four diodes, you can build a so-called “full wave rectifier” which is better. Better still is to use a capacitor and a resistor to filter the output. If you want to go all-out, you could build a regulated power supply.
What do I mean by “better?” It’s a question of “noise.” In any electronic design, “noise” is the difference between the signal you want and the signal you’ve got. In your case, you want steady state direct current (DC). A half-wave power supply is pretty noisy in that respect. An un-filtered full-wave supply is less noisy (i.e., closer to steady DC), a filtered supply is closer still, and so on. Ultimately, it depends on how much noise your load can tolerate. If your load is a lightbulb, noise is only important to the extent that the bulb may visibly flicker. If your load is a sensitive radio receiver on the other hand, any noise on the power rails may come through to the speaker. If your load is a digital computer, too much power-line noise might cause it to fail altogether.

lots of interesting people with access to lots of interesting raw materials doing lots of interesting things. Given that you’re “bored”, definitely worth a look.
Homemade generator??
Is there any way to build a homemade generator out of things lying around the house and garage??
Haha well to the first answer I was not looking to build one myself. I’m writing a story and I wanted to know if it was possible and maybe some of the parts I would need.
Yeah I just wanted to know for information for a story. I know I could never build something like that myself it would definitely take a genius in my opinion lol. Let’s say someone wanted to make a generator to just power a computer and maybe a game system too. They can’t buy anything they have to improvise and work with what they have.
Actually, many kinds of motors also work as generators, when they’re powered by something else. I’ve used 3-phase motors as generators, for example, for an off-grid power system (powered by a waterwheel, in my case). Some people have made small generators using tape drive motors as generators, as another low-voltage example. I think this really depends on what you mean by a generator – are you trying to just prove the concept, or are you trying to power a house with this? The above poster is right, commercial generators aren’t all that expensive, although I’ve paid a lot more than his stated $150 a kilowatt for a high quality diesel generator, and even a Honda engine powered one costs more than this. Some people have converted car alternators to generate at 110 volts, too, and some have made these into automobile powered welders, too. If it was the end of the world, we’re surrounded by things that could be converted into generators. It’s too much easier and more efficient to just buy one instead, though, if that’s what you’re after.
