Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. - Why is this different than the typical arc/vapor process?

A1. - If we put a fine point on it, this is the same as arc/vapor processes that have been used in the past.

I. We use an electric arc, under water between 2 gold electrodes (or source metal) to vaporize the source substrate.

1. The electricity is used to first break down the water into a gas pocket.

2. The gas pocket is more conductive than the water and an arc is formed.

3. The arc developed in the limited gas pocket boils the surface of the source substrate.

4. From this boiling of the surface of the electrodes we obtain our source metal vapor.

The deviation from the older arc/vapor method begins here.

The older method uses a set of points to limit the surface area of the arc.

I. To condense the electrical charge and focus the heat.

II. To maintain an optimal balance between vapor potential and the limit of thermal tolerance. (to avoid the electrode points from melting thus drawing in large globs of source material which would short out the gap and deform the electrode points creating hot spots and dead spots that alter the gas pocket and burn consistency.)

These are 1mm diameter (18gage) gold electrode ends.

You can see the difficulty in making the ends burn perfectly in fact in hind sight, it is almost amazing to think that so much effort has been put into development of the basic arc/vapor process.

These protrusions are usually greater than the optimal working distance required between the electrodes and so all the problems with the original arc/vapor process are solved in the new gold plasma process.

Take a look at a 4 circuit arc/vapor array demo that could barely keep up with a single gold plasma set we are using today.

This is an opportunity to suggest you notice the black covering of gold splatter on the gold electrodes in the video.  The gold plasma system has almost no gold buildup on the electrodes because nearly the entire surface is under regular plasma contact.  What this means is you have reduced black gold fallout that comes from the array hardware so most all of what you vaporize ends up in your colloid.

The Gold Plasma Process begins where the older arc/vapor process has its upwards limits.

I. We expose a larger surface area.

II. We use more power.

III. We use the thermal convection in the water to assist in gas pocket stability.

This Early prototype for the current gold plasma system clearly demonstrates the basic foundation of the process.

A Jacobs Ladder could be a good analogy for what we are working to achieve with our electrode arrangement.

The rest gets more specific and is under development to push the upwards limits that tests showed were astronomical compared to the older arc/vapor method.

1-2mg a minute are typical for the gold plasma method currently and could go to values of up to 5-10mg per minute.

If you look at how much gold vapor that is per hour it becomes very substantial especially in light of the fact that a standard arc/vapor point set had an average 20-25mg gold vapor per hour.
