If you use a saline solution purchase a small two-ounce eye-dropper bottle from your local drug store. You may have to request it from the prescription counter. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of sea-salt (purchase at health-food store) in the eye-drop bottle and fill with distilled water. Shake well until all of the salt has disolved.

	This is the wiring diagram to follow. You can print off this page to make it easier. Also, polarity at the 1/8" jack doesn't matter (positive or negative can be at either connector).
	In this case I used some old microphone wire between the 1/8" phone plug and the alligator clips because it is so flexible. You can run two separate wires if you don't have anything else available.
	You need some method of suspending the silver rods into the water. Here, I used an old CD, glued a plastic paint brush handle to it, and drilled two holes. The rods should be about 1/2-inch apart. Bend them slightly so that they bow away from each other.
	Everything is ready to go! If you boil your solution, place the rods into the pitcher as quickly as possible. Or, you can simply dilute the solution with one or two drops of a saline solution and avoid the boiling process. I generally have the alligator clips already connected to the tops of the rods and plugged into the generator as I place them into the distilled water.

BUILDING YOUR GENERATOR

Before getting started, if you couldn't find a 24-volt light at Radio Shack you can purchase a package of two 12-volt lights and connect them together in series (daisy-chain). You will want to drill a hole for each bulb to show in the plastic chassis box.

Also, most phone jacks actually come with three connectors. The third connector is not used in the generator. To determine which connectors to use do this:

• Use the connector that is part of the outside ring of the jack.
• Use the connector that is part of the metal piece that extends the farthest out the other side of the jack.

Follow the diagram and run a wire directly from one of the connectors on the jack to a free wire on your light. Solder both ends.

Connect another wire from the other connector on the jack to the RED wire on the first battery connector.

Connect the other wire (black) from the first battery connector to the RED wire on the second battery connector.

Connect the other wire (black) from the second battery connector to the RED wire on the third battery connector.

Connect the other wire (black) from the third battery connector to the remaining free wire on the 24-volt light.

Carefully solder all connections. Use electrical tape (or masking take will work) to insulate any bare soldering joints or bare wires.

When the wiring has been completed, snap the batteries into their connectors and place them into the plastic box (chassis). If they seem to rattle around you may use wadded paper or plastic peanuts to fill the empty space.

Next you will need to connect the alligator clips to one end of your wiring cable and the phone plug to the other. If you wish you can simply use two single wires instead of purchasing fancy cable. Basically you need one wire that connects to the center conductor of the phone plug and has an alligator clip on the other end and, another wire that connects to the outer conductor of the phone plug and has an alligator clip on its other end.

After finishing your wiring you can quickly test your circuit by plugging the phone plug into the phone jack and tapping the two alligator clips together. When you do the lights on your box (chassis) should light up bright. Do not leave the clips connected as this will burn down your battery voltage, reducing the efficiency of your generator.

If the lights do not shine when you tap the two clips together you will need to trace your wiring to check for bad or incorrect connections.

You will need to suspend the silver rods into the liquid somehow. There are various way to do this. As you can see by the photo, I simply cut the handle off an old paint brush, glued it to an old CD and drilled a couple of holes. Warning, if you use wood instead of plastic here it will work, but after several batches the wood will soak up enough of your solution to begin conducting current, reducing the efficiency of your generator.

USING YOUR GENERATOR

If you boil your solution: Keep in mind that it is very important to work in a pure environment. This refers to the materials used to generate colloidal silver. Clean paper towels work well to wipe dust which may have collected in the measuring cup since last used. DO NOT use steel wool or abrasive materials to polish the silver rods between batches as this puts very small scratches in the surface which collect impurities and degrades your finished solution. A paper towel will work fine for polishing your silver rods.

Begin by pouring 16 oz of distilled water into the measuring cup and place it into the microwave for about five minutes (or until it is boiling). While it is heating up take time to have your materials prepared. You will want to place the silver electrodes into the boiling water within just a few seconds after removing it from the microwave. The longer you wait the more time it will take to generate a strong solution.

Try to avoid generating your colloidal silver in a room filled with sunlight as direct sunlight will cause the silver particles to oxidize, destroying their ability to be effective.

If everything is clean and your batteries are fresh you may notice that the solution begins to take on a golden color within 10-15 minutes. If you wait too long to place the rods into the boiling water, this time may be extended to around 45 minutes. Whatever time it takes, when you detect that the solution has taken on a definite golden color, it is finished and ready to be bottled.

If you use the saline solution: Place one or two drops of a saline solution into the measuring cup of distilled water at room temperature. It is best to use as little of the saline solution as possible. Its only purpose is to initiate the electrical current at the start. Place the electrodes into the solution and expect to wait about 45 minutes.

Try to avoid generating your colloidal silver in a room filled with sunlight as direct sunlight will cause the silver particles to oxidize, destroying their ability to be effective.

Using the saline solution, you will notice that the solution begins to look milky. You will also notice, as time passes, that the indicator lights on your generator continue to glow brighter. When your solution has turned a milky-gray color and the indicator lights glow brightly the generation process is complete. Un-plug the leads from the generator and lift the electrodes from the solution.

You will notice that the silver rod connected to the positive voltage of your generator has turned black and the other rod has taken on a gray texture. Polish the dark rod with a paper towel before starting your next batch.
