Stirrer.
The green bar represents the stirring system of a Silver Well Generator. We use a simple, silent thermal system that gently warms the water and creates convection currents. Without stirring, silver ions and particles will aggregate into excessively large particles, or be lost in the formation of oxide or metallic silver on the electrodes or the jar.

Anions.
To complete the electric circuit, electricity (represented by the red dots) must flow through the water. Electric current flows through water via 'charge carrying' silver and hydroxyl ions. Ions that drift from the cathode to the anode are called anions. Distilled water has very few available ions so, initially, the current flow is very low. But as more silver and hydroxyl ions are released into the water the conductivity and electrical current increases, and the process accelerates.
