How come the Silvertron's have a 9v output power supply? (probably a dumb question but...)
Don't we have to keep the current between anode & cathode to above 10v when making Colloidal Silver? How can an adapter that only outputs 9v do this?
The SilverTron contains a voltage multiplier which boosts the 9 volts to about 28 volts.
The power supply with my SilverTron Elite v2 is a 9v 200 ma. Is that enough current? I have several other 9 volt wall warts laying around. What would be the upper limits of ma for the STEv2? Just wondering what's useable. Don't want to damage my new best friend. Thanks, Bobby
The supplied power adapter is 9 volts and 305 ma. There is no upper limit. Just because a power adapter says its is 500 mA or 1000 mA, or whatever, does not mean that thats what they actually supply. It means that thats the maximum they can supply without dropping voltage, or popping a fuse, or overheating, or burning out, etc.
The most important thing for the SilverTrons is that the power adapter outputs 9 volts and has the correct polarity, which is center pin positive at the barrel connector.
Getting the polarity backwards will destroy a Mini or an Elite V1. The current rating is 300 mA minimum. However I don't recommend using a different power supply than the one I supplied because often the wall adapters are not very accurate, especially with regards to their voltage. Some of the units on the market have a voltage rating that is only true when drawing the rated current from the unit. I have a radio shack adapter that is rated at 30 volts but actually outputs 36 volts for example.
