DIY construction for ozone fan

[leogerritsen]

A few years ago I made a small contraption to add a small ozone generator to a household fan.

It is used to desinfect our rooms for rent on a regular basis.

It might help stop spreading all kind of flu related infections.

I will upload some pictures and a guideline for usage.

Guideline :

 

 

 

Ozone is highly effective to 'handle' viruses. It is no magic. And it has it's own precaution, restrictions, side effects.
Ozone is generated during the discharge of electric energy as in lightning. It can be created with an electric circuit that creates high voltage. The discharges of that voltage creates O3, ozone.
1. Precaution, use it moderately.
2. Restrict to private use. Vacate the area, run the procedure for one hour and resume activity.
Or keep a constant flow of O3 in a ventilated room.
3. Side effect. O3 is a powerful way of dealing with viruses. They get killed instantly. When staying / breathing in an area with a sufficient amount of O3 will bring the ozone in the bloodstream. It will start its work immediately, leaving  'dead virus material' in the bloodstream. That causes a light headache, it is an indication it is working.
Another side effect is that O3 will effect most  anaerobic life. So people with a normal flu will get similar results (and side effect).
Drink water, so the body gets enough fluid to transport the residues out of the system (by peeing).
Anyone with a little feeling for diy and electrics can build a simple system cheaply (under 200thb if you have some wood, electric cable, a plug).
Electric discharges create a spectrum of radiowaves, nothing serious but it may interfere with sensitive receivers like TV sets (causing disturbance on the screen). Just move the ozone unit a bit away.

Add guideline for usage

Disinfecting an empty room sounds great.  Breathing ozone in any concentration can be bad news for the body.

Problem with uploading pictures

[leogerritsen]

Please read the guideline

[ChipButty]

Your so called ozone machines is just ultra violet lights?

Sorry but that looks like a proper Micky mouse job and dangerous

@chipbudd really ?  Do you have solutions to contain spreading the Corona virus or only want to comment the obvious ?

This contraption is not conform any electric safety standard, but ... It sure as hell disinfects.

Please select your choice of fancy ozone spreaders, priced 2k+ thb. This one costs about 300thb for 2 simple ozone generators plus some wood, 2 switches and a plug plus electric wire.

Please add any protection you want plus some filtering.

Be my guest ????

Its UV light that could kill viruses,smells, but its not Ozone.

I agree Ozone will kill airborne bacteria I have 2 small ozone generators at home that I can use for air and water 250mlg per hour

The best method of producing ozone is via Corona Discharge which is a ozone gas then it smothers any bacteria will even get rid of the smell of smoke I sometimes turn it on in the bedroom turn the A/C on the air smells really fresh and it kills any bacteria in the A/C

You haven’t said exactly what is inside your device.

I use UV lights on my Koi pool,the water passes over

an enclosed UV light, When I had Marine Aquariums

I used an Ozone generator ,but you had to remove 

the Ozone gas with charcoal as it could burn the

gills and fins of the fish, an Ozone generator is a

device that produces Ozone by passing air over

an enclosed device with high electrical discharge

that changes 02 into O3, ozone,to put it simply.

Actually no. It is the hunger for oxygen that makes the virus rip off one atom oxygen, trading it in for a free chlorine. That chlorine is the cause of death for that virus. So O3 kills viruses very effectively. A similar action occurs in the much debated cure for cancer (MMS miracle mineral supplement)

[sometimewoodworker]

One of these 

setup on a timer with strict instructions not to enter the room while it’s on will do a better job than just an ozone generator as it adds the dangerous UV into the mix. There is no need for a special fan as the room fans do a good enough job.

 

but if you just want ozone then Big Clives Ozone Generator  here are instructions to build one

A small O3 generator can be purchased at Amorn.  I bought a few at that time for 99 thb / PC. Now they go for 150 thb (plus shipping if ordered on Lazada or Shopee).

That still doesn’t say what’s inside, if it’s one of the tubes I show then it is significantly dangerous to your eyes

This cheap solution is easily handled. It works with existing fans.

With an hour of diy you can provide some protection to be used in house for our Thai relatives.

Lick it with your tongue. I am sure it will surprise you.

My solution is not for fear mongers. It is meant as a suggestion to make a well informed decision about tackling the spread of infections in an affordable way.

That is a stupid reply and completely irrelevant.

 

the light I show produces Ozone as a side effect it also emits UVC narrow band ultraviolet, which can cause eye and skin damage to anyone in its vicinity. It is better than an ozone generator alone as a device for destroying airborne pathogens.

 

you should understand what you are using as if it is, as I suspect, a UVC light you MUST make anyone who might come across it aware that it is dangerous to look at or even be in a room with when lit.

 

while the hongkong incident UVC experience involved a more sustained exposure UVC is dangerous and will damage your skin and eyes, just ask any welder about arc eye. My nebour who is a very experienced welder was unable to work and had sore eyes for more than a month recently due to accidental exposure.

 

Respect the things you use and buy do not fear them.
 

Do not be stupid and ignorant about the safe way to use products.

Safety first I would say

[Lacessit]

Ozone is poisonous. It attacks the lungs, and is responsible for many diseases such as emphysema.

The OP's advice it is somehow good to breathe is completely irresponsible.

Not sure that is a valid description.  It is very reactive and the extra O atom will immediately bond to most organic compounds.  When that is your lungs, nasal passage, mouth, etc. it can be harmful and known to be carcinogenic.

Absolutely. It is extremely important to understand the effects of things you use. Making ridiculous untrue statement like 

Quote

It is the hunger for oxygen that makes the virus rip off one atom oxygen, trading it in for a free chlorine. That chlorine is the cause of death for that virus.

As if free chlorine ever exists

 

And the OP quoting lies and dangerously flawed rubbish  like this

Quote

breathing in an area with a sufficient amount of O3 will bring the ozone in the bloodstream. It will start its work immediately, leaving  'dead virus material' in the bloodstream.

Shows why all of the statements are classed as BS.

 

correctly used UVC and Ozone do more good than harm. 
 

ignorance allows both UVC and Ozone to be dangerous

An interesting article on UV ozone generation https://www.oxidationtech.com/ozone/ozone-production/uv-lamp.html

 

Personally, I'd rather use a corona discharge unit, more ozone production and no potentially risky UV exposure.

 

[leogerritsen]

A batch of 12 units was just delivered to me. I will make one unit for each family. I hope this will inspire people to have a proactive mind towards the corona virus. I do a burn-in for one hour. I have 14 units active around me right now. The room is ventilated, so don't worry ????

And, if it did, it would not freely bond with O₂.

To give you an idea. I test my eyes by welding without protection. I checked these so-called facts on myself. So looking at uv-light does not scare me so much.

Apparently you did not read my text with an open mind.

It is the same all over. The chlorine atom turns into CL2 inside the virus-cell and immediately reacts with its vital system, killing the virus immediately.

"The chlorine atom"  ???  You are not making much sense in these posts.  Being proactive in protection from virus is commendable but do be careful and have a good understanding of what you are doing.

Did you ever try it ? I did and still do. With the proper mind set the body can adapt to higher frequencies.

If you not agree then i suggest please

find a place in the bush bush because 5G is being rolled out.

Yes i agree Crossy, enclose the unit so uv light will not emerge.
