Ozone Generator - DIY The Correct Way

Ozone generation can be done with a neon sign transformer (NST). You must protect your transformer with a safety gap or you will end up with a dead transformer.

AMAZING........... a DisInformer video? WOW!

(We know how to fix it, but it is so obvious we are not gonna tell U shit!)

[matts2007]

@Shan23Studios Thanks for announcing your snide and uneducated nature to the world. The solution was resolved years ago, but I never posted a final video.

[matts2007]

@Shan23Studios In all reality, I thank the countless individuals that gave my proper insight over the years! I'll be sure to make a video of our findings.

My company makes and sells ozone equipment. If you have questions, let me know. I enjoyed your design, but it scares me too. Good luck! Oh, and there is a lot of bs being posted here. Not many know what they're talking about. Amazing.

[matts2007]

@DuMaNhieu2 Thanks! I found one guy that really knew what he was talking about. This man stated that a cylindrical design of metal mesh, glass tubes, and a center rod is best to eliminate the capacitance issue. My plates are amplify the capacitance issue due to the excessive surface area.

please stop moving the camera around! put it on a tripod. That way I can listen to what you have to say.

[HomeDistiller]

mate you need to make a wire in tube type of generator (reduces capacitance).. and also set your gap without the generator hooked up move them out till they just stop arcing (maybe ad another mm or 2) and that should stop constant arcs,

[royalbraindamage]

An arc is a dead short, so there is no safety there. I used a similar transformer, and used glass as an insulator between two wire mesh squares. The glass is larger than the wire mesh squares. The full 15,000 volts is applied to the wire mesh plates. One electrode of the transformer to one wire mesh plate the other electrode from the transformer to the other wire mesh plate. The glass in between keeps it from arcing. AND WAY Too much ozone for my 2000 square foot home within 30 minutes created.

ever tried a car coil an a distubitor spinning gett a new idea

[gabigowriel]

I thought there is a curent limiter between the transformer and the "consumer" in the form of a high watt resistor right?!

Something like tesla coils

I made a negative ions generator but it is based on the cockcroft-walton design to step up the voltage and the "optical device" is made out of sharp needles of 25mm length passed tightly through a 4 mm pvc plate and a copper plate with the ground wire on it.

The holes in the copper plate are 25mm divided by 4=6,25mm diameter!

It works great!

That Neon sign transformer can kill you. 30 ma at that voltage is way more than you need. A better power supply can be made using a flyback transformer and a couple of common power transistors, ect. The high frequency corona discharge really produces ozone well.

[TheOzoneExperts]

We are also a manufacturer of commercial and residential ozone deodorizers. Our facility is based in upstate NY--you really want to be careful with these, as they can be extremely dangerous if you're not sure what you're doing! In terms of being impractical-we sell to top hotel chains, car retailers, and hunters because they "shock" treat odors and get them out within a few hours by destroying the odor molecule. Ozone in high concentrations is also not recommended to breath in.

[hetrodinepallasoxide]

when you add the safety gap you cause a resonate oscillation, what you need is a resistance aka resistor, basically add resistance between the capacitor and your transformer and gap until you cannot get blue sparks, the resistor will allow the excitation of the corona but will suppress the few tens of peak amps that you are seeing at you safety gap, also ozone generation works better if you use a higher freq source.

(never touch electric components. use a safety contactor switch, and dielectric tools, gloves, and shoes.) ozone oxidizes microbes and decomposes chemicals, flowing inside moldy hollow spaces. make a small safe inexpensive portable modular one and sell it. the industry people sell the same defects to the public on purpose (big plastic box with expensive nonwashable filters). since the 1950s they have been taking billions for air cleaners. they owe us trillions. - james mcashan for US Senate
