Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 We try not to touch the electrode for the purpose of removing the gel; rather we bring water to a boil, pour it into a cup and holding the electrode by its plastic sheath so that no water is higher the sheath swish it around in the cup until the gel falls off. Then hang the electrode plates down until they dry. We think this procedure prolongs the electrode life span by minimizing (a) abrasive activity that may affect the plate surface and ( reducing the corrosive effects of water getting in behind the plastic electrode sheath. wrote: That's what I do.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hello, After reading quite a bit about electrification experiments by Doctors and research professionals it seems that it is very important to use silver electrodes whenever possible. Especially where the electrodes may come in contact with the skin, even accidentally. Other types of metal release toxic ions. Silver also releases ions but they are not toxic to human cells. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
