Ovo 101 Just the basics The Ovo Colloidal Gold Reactor is a Hand made product that not only doubles as a work of art but most likely has created it's own category as an electrical appliance. 4.2mm Thick Simax lab glass constitutes the main body of the power supply as well as the reactor tube (2.2mm thick) and the reactor tube holder portion of the system. The Ovo comes in 2 Primary varieties. 1. International 2. North/South American Each is identical in every respect however the 1. International model is designed for up to 260vac while the 2.North/South American is limited to 115/120vac being set for this specific and well known household outlet in these respective continents. The International units come with a simple plug adaptor for the country of destination and can be used in North/South America at a slightly less optimal rate. (they are designed for higher voltage inputs primarily) |

Basic Setup~ The unit comes with everything you need to make colloidal gold minus 2 things that you need to supply. 1. Soda water 2. H202 (3% Hydrogen Peroxide) - (for some international locations this is shipped along with the unit as some countries do not have the right variety of 3% H202 that is favorable to the process.
Included: 1. Ovo Main Power Unit. 2. Reactor tube (with gold electrode pre-loaded) 3. 20ml medicine dropper. 4. 250ml lab beaker (graduated to 200ml) 5. Copper wire (also can be used as an electrode to make colloidal copper) 6. Spare fuse 7. Insertion Tool (used to replace electrodes.
The Actual Process: For North/South American customers the first thing you need to know is Sams Choice No Sodium Seltzer water is likely the best of all soda waters for this process. Second is Albertsons, ACME soda water. For everyone else: The purpose of the 250ml beaker is primarily for calibration of your solution. 1. Soda water needs to be between 40-60ppm on a TDS meter. (soda water made with pure distilled or highly filtered water does not work well or at all.) If you do not have a Water Purity Meter (PPM meter, Total Dissolved Solids Meter-TDS) then you can adjust your soda water based on the following criteria. Calibration: Gold is not an electrolyte (this means it does not add to the conductance of the water, so our soda water needs electrolytes of around 40-60ppm) This is why the conductance (and hence the mineral content) is so important to the process. The optimal current flow is limited (in some cases) by a very pure water being used for soda water. It sounds counter intuitive but remember gold is 'the most noble' of the elements and is not effected by the odd byproducts that might be created in other electrolysis processes such as making electrically isolated silver (ionic silver solution also widely called colloidal silver). Any soda water that is too lean in minerals can be adjusted by adding a known mineral water in 20ml steps.
1. Fill the beaker with 200ml of soda water (or as much as required to cover the ports of the reactor tube. 2. Add 3.5 ml of 3%H202 to your solution. 3. (reactor tube is in the solution, with the top ports submerged) Turn on the power for 20 minutes. If you see color in 10 minutes (faint, pink, lavender) then your solution is in the ballpark. If you look closely you should see the faintest hue in approximately 5 minutes. 4. If after 20 minutes you see no color then add 20ml of any known Mineral Water. (Often mineral waters have mineral content between 300-800ppm so 20ml is a good unit to add, then repeat this step until you see some color. 5. Once you notice color (using the original solution you made but adding 20ml of a known mineral water every 20 minute cycle you run your calibration) then it is time to empty the beaker and try again with fresh soda water , 3.5ml of 3% H202 -AND- this time add the same quantity of mineral water to your batch. It a very weak color response after 20 minutes might take 80-100ml of a mineral water to get good results so it is ok to compensate by using less soda water. (How far can you go?) Up to 50% of the solution can be mineral water so long as 50% is soda water. (remember the Carbonic Acid in the soda water is a critical key in the process, so dissolved CO2 Content is important.) I like my results: Ok so now what? The 250ml beaker is 'primarily' for calibration however you can use it to make regular batches of colloidal gold around 20ppm in 20 minutes. The Ovo system is able to make higher concentrations of colloidal gold up to 45ppm. The problem is Heat (the reactive process also generates heat, often in direct proportion to the dissolved gold). Heat: You can not actively cool your batch of colloidal gold: (why not?) Because the water goes through a molecular change during rapid cooling and this causes the gold to stick to itself. (the water throws the gold out of hydration, exactly why cooling systems have trouble with buildup of minerals in the heat exchange of water cooled devices). The 20 minute run for a 250ml beaker is around (70C~158F) The rate of heat leaving the solution (because the room is the same temperature but your solution gets hotter) is high enough to be the same as if the water were being cooled too rapidly beyond 70C~158F). That is why this is called a 'calibration batch'. When you are ready and you are satisfied that you have a fair looking batch of colloidal gold in 20 minutes it is time to read Ovo 102 and graduate to a larger container (also higher concentrations in one 4-6 hour run making between 1-3 liters of colloidal gold) The larger volume dissipates heat without causing the hydration between gold and water to fail.
