Ozone Generators a large collection Available here
How does ozone work?
While ozone is very powerful, it has a very short life cycle. When it comes in contact with odors, bacteria, viruses, etc... the extra atom of oxygen destroys them completely by oxidation. In doing so, the extra atom of oxygen is destroyed and there is nothing left including odors, bacteria, etc... except for plain stable oxygen.
How is ozone produced?
There are two types of ozone production. The
first one would be corona discharge which essentially is creating lightning and the
second is ultra violet fluorescent tubes.
Both forms are effective and personal preference
and room size,
Are the only deciding factors how long does ozone last?
Ozone lasts at the very most thirty minutes.
When there are a lot of pollutants in the air ozone, it will degrade at a very rapid rate
and in some cases almost immediately.
OZONE
What is ozone?
Ozone is sometimes called the "activated oxygen".
It contains three atoms of oxygen rather than
the two atoms we normally breathe.Ozone is the second most powerful sterilant in
the world and its function is to destroy
bacteria, viruses, and odors. Ozone occurs quite
readily in nature, most often as a result of lightning strikes that occur during
thunderstorms. In fact that fresh smell after
a thunderstorm is actually the smell of ozone.
Ozone is also created by waterfalls. However, we are probably most familiar with ozone
from reading about the "ozone
layer" that circles the planet above the
earths atmosphere. Here the ozone is created by ultra-violet rays from the sun and
subsequently helps to protect from the damaging
ultra-violet radiation.
Ozone generators are the most effective odor control devices available. Odor is caused by airborne pathogens which float freely and come in contact with our nasal passages. When generated ozone, or 0³ comes in contact with these pathogens one of the oxygen atoms detaches from the ozone molecule, attaching itself to the odor-causing pollutant. This process, in essence, inactivates the odor causing particles in the air, leaving clean, fresh smelling air. Growers report that a good ozone generator will completely eliminate airborne odors from the most pungent crops, but will not affect the dried bouquet of the flowers. There has been some debate over the safety of ozone and humans, however The EPA, USDA and OSHA have approved the use of ozone at concentrations of 0.1 Parts Per Million, for an exposure period of eight hours, without any side effects. Most home ozone generators produce less than .05 PPM, and exposure time is minimal. With this in mind, ozone generation is a safe and effective method of odor control.
How to use Ozone
While some growers place ozone generators outside the growing area in fear that
ozone may damage plants, most choose to destroy the odor at the source. In
contrast to popular belief, ozone actually benefits the overall health of the
plant, and the human, by removing pollutants such as bacteria, fugus and mold
from the air. Another benefit to marijuana is the creation of CO² (along with
water and oxygen), when ozone comes into contact with formaldahyde (HCHO)
Because ozone generation is a very potent method of odor removal, constant
treatment is not necessary; Ozone generators are run off a timer, with a typical
generation of 10 minutes on, every two hours.
This is a very simple set up that
anyone can put together in five minutes after getting the parts. It works as
well as the expensive units costing $600 or more but it costs only about $20 or
so. The ones I made cost nothing it just depends on how good you are at
scrounging. A good source for the transformer is a shop that repairs or installs
neon signs. You can usually pick up a used one for next to zip.
Here are the plans:
First you need a neon sign or similar
transformer at about 6000v. You need a small glass jar and a larger jar that
