Colloidal Gold Systems 102

[Disclaimer - Warning!]

You are about to read information that pertains to High Voltage and potentially dangerous electrical components and systems that if miss-used or improperly assembled could result in death.  By reading this you agree to taking your time, reading everything I have to share with you and also doing a little safety research on the side before you get ahead of yourself and get hurt!  You also agree that I have no control over your actions or the actions of others who may not hold me liable for the miss-use of information provided here that results in death or damage or anything else that I could be blamed for.  Use this information wisely and at your own risk!

Something is missing in the vast sea of claims that I read about where someone is selling colloidal gold that imply a 'secret' that no one else knows and can't possibly know because it is secret and like the ancients knew but we can't tell you or um.. (well why can't you know?)

I can only hope that the 101 introduction to Colloidal Gold Systems gives you a clear picture of exactly how simple the process can be and how ultimately simple it truly is.

A.  Our first point was the electric arc being the source of focused heat for the purpose of liberating vapor from a set of gold wires.

B.  This electric arc then requires a power supply.

This is what we shall get into here and now.

Many of  you are already know that a Neon Sign Transformer is the source of an electric arc that makes most all of the colloidal gold sold for the purpose of 'dietary supplementation'.

When I first began making colloidal gold I used a 10amp, 35volt alternating current transformer.

I made 2 small batches in 1 dram bottles by using muscle massager to vibrate my one hand while holding the one gold electrode.  This tapped the gold wires together repeatedly and gave off a small arc every time the wires made contact.

I burned out that transformer making the second batch as this sort of short circuit tends to generate more heat than a copper transformer winding can tolerate without melting down. It was on February the Second 2002 that my transformer went to the bookshelf to serve another calling.

My next approach was invariably to realize that if I was to use an arc for an extended period of time maybe I should find a power source that was designed for creating an arc without overheating.

This led me to the first conclusion about making colloidal gold that many others have also realized and must be a place to begin with power supply selection.

Neon Sign Transformers (NSTs) are designed to generate an extended electrical arc (a type of short circuit condition) in a glass tube filled with an ionizing gas.

The next choice tends to be directed at questions of:

I. What voltage (9kv,12kv,15kv)?

II. What current rating? (.23ma-.60ma typical NST ratings)

III.  Where can I get my hands on the biggest one?

And the mother of all questions....

[Can I chain 2 or more together to get a larger output value?]

The link above should explain enough to hopefully get you safely on your way with that journey into electrical mayhem.. but first, before you get going with the idea that more power is a good thing let me continue with the dissertation.

These questions 1-4 as mentioned above generally tend to be foremost on the minds of those questing for the elusive colloidal gold process and hardware for the very reason that drawing and maintaining an underwater arc for any sustained period of time tends to be more daunting than it first appears.

This is what leads to the questions about power and how exactly to get more of it...

More power is not what this dissertation on Colloidal Gold Systems is about.

What I began to do once I had secured myself a small 9kv .23ma NST was the long long process of developing a way to keep that arc going.

For the purpose of education I spent what probably equals a few thousand hours just holding the one wire with my hand (insulated from high voltage of course!) and having the other wire mounted on a solid point while I made adjustments on the scale of a few thousandths of an inch.

Though time consuming it was enlightening as I came to develop quite a lot of experience trying to keep this arc going underwater.

Even under the best of conditions I began to see that this process was very slow and vaporized very little gold.

What I needed was a new outlook on making colloidal gold if I was ever to free myself from the drudgery of babysitting this wire and this little glowing buzzing thing I had come to know so well.

Enter the MOT!

MOT is short for Microwave Oven Transformer.

Of course it is easy to adapt things if you have lots of money and can order endlessly from electronic catalogs just guessing at what might happen when you plug in your new toy.

But let's get real for just a second.

We can return to the original 4 questions and get more specific about what we need to get the job done.

If we want to increase the vapor rate then maybe what we need is more current.

The NST generates voltages in the thousands range and anyone who has used one in the process of making colloidal gold will come to realize eventually that it makes one heck of a water heater.

I doubt that the water needs a heater as much as the gold wires need more focused heat and this is why we need to take that power (typical 350w !) and alter the output values we are using.

NSTs are rated in milliamps, very small fractions of an amp.

So after much calculating and messing about I recognized that a MOT may be what I was looking for all along.

Thing is, I realize the potential for my own suffering and pain should I simply take a standard 1,100W MOT and plug it into a 115vac line.

This is dangerous as hell and you should never do something like that unless you know the purpose of that output current and voltage!

So...

If this warning sinks in for a minute you begin to realize that regulation of that power supply is important for our safety, it is also vital to having an impact on the process of making colloidal gold.

The regulation device that works best and is least trouble just happens to be easy to get and for not much money.

Enter the Variac!

The first question.... Where to get myself a variac right?

http://allelectronics.com

Another reminder while you are there.. the 3amp variac is all that you want or need. (don't buy a 5,10, or 20 amp variac for this project, it can only lead to trouble and poor results!)

Besides the price is right and this link has the best price without endless fishing on the internet.

(Just in case you are of the impatient variety remember this note carefully... Do Not Set The Variac Over 45-50Volts!!!!)

Remember the warning about NOT connecting a MOT directly to 115vac or any other mains voltages!

This is the informational part of the Colloidal Gold Machine publication series, the 100s..

Later in this series we get more specific and include much more information on exactly how to do what, the 200s...

I advise you strongly to read each part and only when you understand the material completely and have taken the steps I suggest do you then proceed with setting up a colloidal gold system for yourself!

In the while... look around for a nice old microwave oven to dig into later...

buy a variac if you intend to proceed and eventually make a Cg system for yourself,

and read the introduction 100s series of dissertations before you decide how easy this really is.

This entire process of learning can be fun and rewarding if you take the time to learn all that you can about what you are endeavoring to do.

Any questions feel free to email me using the link at the top of each research page.
