[Gasification] [OZONE generator

Robert.

Quite right, contact opens spark produced.
Lets say we produce 60 make and brakes a second. 
some engines often require a similar frequency, when fitted with one ignition coil.
This happens to be the North American power grid frequency.
Which is very useful.
You could buy a 12-0-12 transformer from radio shack and and simply connect your coil
to the terminals of the secondary of the transformer with one leg in series with a suitable ?5 mfd AC capacitor inserted 
So that the coil is in series with the with the capacitor.and connected to the 12-0-12 secondary.
For regulation of the final out put, ?from the high voltage terminal. WHICH CAN BE QUITE LEATHAL.
A ceiling fan controller could be used to regulate the input voltage. to the 115v?primary of the transformer.
There are statistics on electrocution deaths some have referred to automotive high voltage
If you do not want to mess with the mains. you can get lots of information from 
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/5322/hv2.html?or other recourse.
Once you have assembled your TESLA contraption. you can proceed to excite the gasses
within your tubes.
Do not connect both polarities to the same tube. a connection at one end only is sufficient.
Place a bundle of tubes together and enclose them in a non conductive container. with each tube being positioned in
such a way as to provide the greatest surface area of glass with opposite polarity one from another.
Arrange the air flow to be treated to flow past and through the bundle of tubes for maximum exposure.
Make the enclosure air tight, install?an input air filter. suck the air through it with a water venturi immersed
in the fluid you want to sanitize.use a non return valve to prevent water getting back into the 
ozone generator, do not let the ozone come in contact with any metal parts.

I was interested in your OZ generator.  I happen to have a large number of 
odd ball size tube lights (30") which have been in my store room since 1970 
something.... anyway, I was wondering about using the IC ignition coil... I 
thought they only produce a voltage when current is cut and the field 
collapses... and watza a 555???. (pls excuse my limited knowledge to 
electronics).

Best regards,  R-
