DIY Colloidal Silver Generator: Build Your Own Antibacterial Solution

Colloidal silver is a powerful antibacterial and immune-enhancing supplement. It can be used for everything from preventing infections in a cut to relieving cold symptoms. But purchasing pre-made colloidal silver can become very expensive over time, and can be difficult to find in stores. If you could create your own colloid, you would be able to have a fresh supply any time you needed it. Fortunately, a colloidal silver generator is easy to build.

Instructions

• 1

  Solder the battery connectors together in series, and attach the insulated wire. Connect the bulb to the series, to serve as an indication of battery power remaining.

• 2

  Solder the red alligator clip to the positive and the black clip to the negative wire. Use the heat gun to shrink insulation over the soldered connections.

• 3

  Cut the pure silver wire in half and attach the alligator clips to the end of each. Snap the batteries into their connectors to provide power.

• 4

  To use the generator, submerge one end of each silver wire in a glass of distilled water.
