Despite being designed for use in a sauna or steam room, I can't help wondering if the steam is going to cause an issue with an open ceramic plate with about 3kV across it. Especially in creating carbon tracking paths. But here it is. Something that looks a bit like a wall or ceiling mounted speaker, but actually uses a soft electrical discharge to shred air apart into its component atoms, allowing them to recombine in unstable manners that have a strong oxidising effect. One day I'll make a video just about ozone production and uses so I can link to it and avoid having to cover the same stuff in multiple videos. For those comments inevitably announcing that ozone is deadly poison in any quantity, I feel the need to mention that while it is an irritant and hazard at high levels, it is present at trace levels in nature. There's a very high probability that it has an essential role in regulating mould, viruses and bacteria when at natural levels. Stating that it is a hazard at any level is like stating that water is a hazard at any level. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
