Asymmetric Charge

Here we have a graphic example of
Symmetric verses Asymmetric in terms of capacitor plates.
A simple visual expression of the premise for the reactor tubes. Surface area equals a potential charge and is directly related to how much current will pass between the electrodes for a given electrolyte (conductive solution) |

The difficulty with a standard electrolytic cell being enabled to make colloidal gold has much to do with the high energy required. We have only so much current that can pass through our electrolyte considering how conductive soda water can be or not as the case may be. We must supply an electrolyte as gold is not electrolytic such as silver and contributes nothing to the conductive capacity of the solution as the concentration increases. In fact our problem is that after a time the carbonic acid returns to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. When this happens your colloidal gold process effectively ends. If you let your system run too long (granted that you find a way to remove the excess heat such as using a large stainless container) the result is a blue colloidal gold!
What seems most obvious to remedy this issue is found in the study of plasma. Plasma ultimately can be described as either the 4th state of matter at the fringes of our maximum energy thresholds where the normal laws of physics get peculiar or very simply: A certain percentage of energy per unit of space over a given ratio. Plasma is often the result of an asymmetrical charge though not obvious at first the results can be seen quit often in most high voltage applications via the plasma glow/discharge that takes place on weak insulators and sharp turns in the conductor.
In the dark a normal lamp cord with a split end (to prevent arc over) connected to a High Voltage transformer gives away the ionization with a purple glow. The lamp cord is wrapped around a glass insulator several times to enhance the effect, the point of which is to observe a plasma that results from an increased charge on the surface of poor insulation. Ok... so what? This demo is designed to lead you to understand why an asymmetrical charge is used in the reactor tube design. Plasma = Increased electrical charge for a given area. Increased electrical charge = less time to act against the gold electrode for a given electrical potential in the electrolyte. So now I show you the same Symmetry verses Asymmetry graphic in the hope of illustrating the concept more clearly.

What if each green square is a
metal plate submerged in a solution of electrolyte? Well? We have electrolysis (aka, electrolytic cell, a liquid able to pass current). Gold is expensive right? And given that we have a single 22gage wire (.6 - .7mm wide) then we need to find a way to make that limited surface area count in an electrolytic process. The answer is asymmetry. |

What we end up with is an increased charge upon the surface of the gold wire without having to add more surface area or increase our electrolyte concentration.
Though it is possible to just use two wires in close proximity to make colloidal gold for this process the asymmetrical field application reduces the time dramatically and because of the fact that our soda water has a limited viability we want the most action for the quantity of current passed over a given period of time..
One could debate the fine points as to what is the optimal configuration for electrode placement however the research into this process pointed towards the design you see currently as the most optimal for a good colloidal gold result.
