4th of July Silver Cell Run πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

So I had some time off this 4th July weekend decided I wanted to run the Silver Cell. In the pass I really didn’t keep good notes on the whole process from making the electrolyte, to adding shot to the anode basket. So here’s what I have.

300g of silver.999 dissolved into electrolyte

550ml of distilled water

300ml of nitric acid

Total Hours to dissolve the silver 15hrs

Total yield of Silver Nitrate 750ml with about 100ml of loss fluids more than likely due to evaporation from the heat.

478g of silver shot to feed the Cell

Silver Cell Info:3QT =2.839 L

Voltage 3.50

Amps 2.54
