<p>An apparatus and method for producing colloidal silver. A large-volume container (12) includes a hinged lid (18) on which a rotational impeller (40) is mounted along with several sets of electrodes (22) that are electrically connected to a power transformer (30). The container is partially filled with water, and when the lid is closed, the sets of electrodes are disposed in communication with the water in a predetermined arrangement, and the impeller resides submerged in the water. Certain of the electrodes constitute silver wire (24). The power transformers (32) convey current to the electrodes, preferably alternating current, at voltages sufficient to cause silver particles to separate from the silver wire and enter the solution in a stable, suspended state. The impeller is rotated, preferably continuously, to prevent the suspended silver from remaining in upper levels of the water, thereby dispersing the silver particles more uniformly throughout the volume of water.</p> |
