The problem with arc/vapor deposition into water is the very delicate regulation of the gold wires that establish the arc gap.

While it sounds easy, the problem is dynamic. One has to know how much gold is vaporized per unit of time and then feed the wires toward each other at that rate.

Any changes in the rate of feed or the rate of vaporization can change the gap during a process. This changing of the gap can result in changes in the arc temperature and thus change the delicate transfer of vapor to the water.

It was found that a high water temperature helps with vapor transition as the sharp difference in temperature between the arc, the vapor and the water during transition can have many undesirable results. Hot water essentially helps to maintain a more consistent temperature for all components that have contact with the water.

Many various means are available to advance a wire toward another wire target, though most of these solutions do not have the precision required even though they may appear useful at first. Throughout the process a few thousandths of an inch can easily create wild variations in the plasma that forms between the electrodes.

(The precision is therefore critical for plasma regulation.)

Industry standard components such as micro actuator solutions are expensive and often not of the desired range or price for a colloidal gold system adjustment.

Step motors and electronic drivers are a good solution, so long as cost isn't an option. (savvy electrical engineers out there take note, this is an excellent solution if you have mastery over step servo electronics. I obviously do not. :)

From the beginning I had opted to make these machines affordable and thus a simple solution would be required using parts that could be found nearly anywhere for very little money.

(The magnets on the right of the photo are to maintain tension during travel of the system.)

This was the solution that provided itself.

Actuation is performed by means of a thread or wire wrapped around the shaft of a simple $3.00 food timer. This thread or wire then has a reduction by means of a pulley system that advances a glass rod (could be other materials such as hard plastic or brass, though glass was non-conductive and available at the time) just about 3.4mm in one hour.

The rest of the electrode setup consists of glass insulators, wire terminals converted to hold the glass insulation tubes and the wires at the same time.

The one actuator assembly is all that was required to achieve the advance while the other electrode is held magnetically to the side of a triangular glass.

There was lots of grace to this setup as adjustments could be made by simply moving the glass or adjusting the position of the right electrode holder magnetized to the glass.

For these same reasons many things were to change if a fully contained system were to be made available to the general public so that no one would have to worry about something simple like touching the two gold wires sticking up, or crossing a wire and having to spend a moment with (insert god of your choice) or a skilled EMT.

The power supply itself is much the same as our Machines. 2-3amp at 25 volts is fed to a primary coil of a low power microwave transformer.

Given that this information is provided to you here, let me also say that you should never wire up the primary coil of a microwave transformer to anything substantial like house current unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.

For our purposes the Microwave transformer is used for the step up advantage of higher voltage without ordering a special transformer to do the same job. Special transformers are seriously expensive!

The fact that microwaves are standard appliances allows us to build a system that is affordable instead of astronomical.

Here is a little movie of the early testing on this Proof of concept.

This system was the foundation that began the development toward the Colloidal Gold Machine solution we have today.
