What?!?!? 'All I need is a stainless steel bucket to make 2.5 liters of Cg with a stock Ovo Unit?' Yes! |
|
|
Ignore the fact that I have my VOM meter taped to a spare reactor tube and my Ovo power supply is in this aluminum clad cheap-o box. Recognize the fact that a stock Ovo system can make a 2.5 liter bucket of 20-45ppm Cg in a few hours! (Larger volume maintained at or below 65C has a reduced surface area exposed and somehow retains CO2 longer than a small container.)
What do you need?

1. You need a big stainless steel bucket! I purchased mine at Walmart for something like $5.00 to be found in the kitchen tools area. It is a kitchen tool holder, what you see is what you get.
Don't get too excited yet there are just a few things you need to know first.

What you need to know. A. Your electrolyte is fading fast. Carbonic Acid is turning into carbon dioxide gas every second your soda water is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure. Heating speeds up the out-gassing process as well. With a large stainless container we avoid two issues that limit the process. 1. The thermal problem. - The larger surface area and the thermal transparency of stainless steel allow heat removal without the dreaded 'rapid cooling' that destroys the colloidal balance. 2. The loss of electrolyte. - Larger surface area bleeds heat keeping a cooler batch temperature. B. You can only run the batch as long as the carbonic acid is doing its job. This is why you can get a blue, or dark purple colloid. Both your carbonic acid (soda water) and your H202 (hydrogen Peroxide) are breaking down into nothing as the process continues. When they are gone the process of adding gold particles to your batch is reduced to nearly zero and... The fine colloidal gold already in your batch begins to get throttled by the EHD (electro hydro dynamic) forces the high energy of the reactor tube creates with it's asymmetrical charge. Not so much just a thermal fallout condition but a condition where electro kinetic energy is forcing the particles of gold to stick to each other at an ever increasing rate. You are spared the normal massive fallout drama only because this agglomeration is taking place between just a few individual particle clusters at a time.
The result is dark purple or blue colloidal gold.

The Solution to the Problem! Based on your elevation (atmospheric pressure) and how hot it is on the day your batch is run you can estimate the length of time it takes before your process is finished. Ok... You are going to have to watch your process the first few times. Baby sit, take little notes if you have to and/or keep a keen eye on the clock. You should get a few hours before you see poor results. Between 4-8 hours! The big key in long batches is temperature! You may run a small fan against the stainless container granted it is about 2 feet away. A gentle breeze adds dramatically to the heat reduction. Luke warm is where the process likes to work best so, if you can find a balance between cooling and heating after it gets a chance to warm up a little this goes a long way towards running that perfect batch of colloidal gold. I didn't say it would be too easy but it can be done for very little effort and such a great reward!
Your Second Alternative Solution. With the basic 250ml (200ml graduated) you can run repeat cycles. A. Run for 15-20 minutes. The critical stop is when you notice the water is so hot you can't hold the glass. (or when the water reaches near the boiling point) If you have a thermometer this is the time to use it! When the water gets near boiling, the water is boiling in the reactor tube. What this does is reduce contact with the solution and just generates more heat for nothing in a run away condition that can only damage your colloidal balance. B. After your 20-40 minute run, (only with the right soda water does this work) let the batch sit and allow evaporation to reduce your batch. Top off your batch 'after it cools down to near room temp' with more soda water and 1-2ml of 3% H202. Restart your process! This extra bit of soda water and H202 can maintain a useful process for several runs on the same batch while maintaining a high quality colloidal gold.
Here is a side by side of my 100ppm Arc/vapor product against a 45ppm Ovo Process batch done exactly the way I have explained above. |
