[Gasification] [OZONE generator

The details of this device is fully described in a patent description I found some years ago on the 
USPO.
Air passed through and over this bundle of tubes gets ionized.? Its best to design it in such a way as to avoid O3 coming in contact wth any metal parts unless they are??Ag.
You can generate your high voltage in the way you describe, with an electric bell in series with the primary of the coil.
This could cause RFI. and the frequency adjuster contact on the bell will burn away in a day or two. better to use a solid state oscilating circuit. There is a WEB vhv circuit site, I believe which have some ideas.
Commercial shop bought units often use neat oxygen as feed stock.
A Japanese spark plug company has some neat active patents on ceramic devices which may have been Pirated and are being sold in the US. They were primarily designed for automotive ?installation in the climate control system.
Its best to install your unit in such a wa as to suck the product from this unit instead of pressurizing it.
This? is usually achieved using a venturi in conjunction with a circulating pump.i

GF -- I sure would like to know a lot more about your ozone device.

I have heard of this -- and even played around with it many years back --
when still a kid -- using burned out tubes and an old model A Ford sparker
coil.

Maybe you could take some digital pictures -- write up some description and
data -- and Tom can mount it at the WWW site.

It might be a little off topic -- but it sure is important to know how to
make a simple ozone generator to purify water!!

A Ford sparker was a small wooden box with a high tension coil inside and a
set of virabting points on one end -- that were adjustable -- that once
powered up would creat a powerful spark -- the frquency of which could be
tuned by adjusting a screw tensioner on the point assembly.

It was a major item for young mad sciwentists to have.

I saved my money from my paper route when I was 11 years or so -- to buy one.

And one of the happiest days of my life once I got that spark up and running!!

Now -- some urls of interest for you:

http://www.bodycareozone.com/ProductClass.asp?ClassID=2&NClassID=10

and you need one of these to:

http://www.bodycareozone.com/ProductClass.asp?ClassID=18&NClassID=21

and at this url -- this device resembles what you describe???
