Dear Spud:

Did a little more research and 400 mg is pretty good. *But only 18
watts doesn't make sense. *The machine I have makes ozone with
a blue spark between two metal plates. *Draws more power than
that.


A commercial 6 wt% ozone generator making 57 gm/hr pn pure oxygen
takes ~700 watts (inlcuding controls, etc.). So:
700 (watt) * 0.4 (gm) / 57 (gm) = ~5 watts,
... double that to make ozone in air, so 10 watts. Not out-of-line
for a cell with a good dielectric other than air to distribute the
"micro-discharges" more evenly.
