Build Your Own Beck Blood Electrification and Ionic Colloidal Silver Device
IMPROVED SCHEMATIC by Bob Beck This November 24, 1996 page describes a Plant Growth Stimulator improved since my 1991 design. User-tested for over two years, it is solid state (no relays), uses three (not seven) batteries, makes colloids, is much smaller, lighter, silent, with battery saving features.
The first section (U1B) of the LM358 dual op-amp is a 54 (2 x 27 Volts peak per cycle) volt peak-to-peak square wave oscillator. The second section (U1A) reverses polarity and provides 27 Volts DC output of low impedance.

delivers a Bi-Phasic, sharp rise-time output of ~4 Hz (not critical) for the biological cotton-covered stainless-steel (or gold-plated) electrodes saturated with salt water before applying. Sharp rise-time is considered necessary to provide higher odd harmonics to the stimulus, although rounded waveforms will feel different. The third section is a current-limited 27 Volts DC output from a separate RCA (or 2.5mm) jack for rapid generation of excellent ionic colloidal silver in water. A three minute cycle in 8 Oz. of room-temperature water makes a ~3-5 PPM concentration. Op-amp section U1Bs 4 Hz oscillator frequency is set by C1 (0.1 uF) and R1 (2.4 meg Ohm). It is configured as a comparator with hysteresis determined by R2 (150 k Ohm). Charging and discharging of C1 is done by the 180 out-of-phase signal through R1. R3 and R4 provide a set-point 1/2 the V+ to the comparator. This insures a 50% duty cycle square wave with an amplitude of slightly less than the ~27 Volt supply. U1A, the second comparator, is used to invert the output of oscillator U1B. A ~54 Volt peak-to-peak signal will be generated between the op-amps due to their outputs being 180 out-of-phase. U1As current is limited by potentiometer R5 (100 k Ohm) and R7 (820 Ohm) and is set to individual users comfort. The power indicator circuit consists of a bicolor (Red-Green) LED (CR1) and the series combination of two 18 Volt Zener diodes, D1 & D2, with power limited by C2 (22 uF, 35 Volt). This section of the device is automatically disabled when the 3.5 mm plug is inserted into its jack. Therefore the LEDs flash only when batteries sum is over ~21 Volts. If LEDs are dim or extinguished, replace with three fresh 9 Volt Alkaline batteries. C2 used as a limiter allows the LED to flicker on at 1/8 second intervals only as the square wave output reverses polarity. Users find this newer design highly satisfactory, trouble free and most efficient.
