Looking back over the posts regarding the smell of ozone. I used to make 
ozone for chemistry experiments when I was teaching, we used pure oxygen as 
the feed, and it defintely had a smell, not anywhere near as sharp as the 
nitrogen oxides. To my mind it is infinitely more pleasant to smell, 
although I don't advise it. Well that is an aside, I did some websearcing 
an came up with this snippet "In September 1896, the electrical genius 
Nikola Tesla patented his first ozone generator, and in 1900, he formed the 
Tesla Ozone Company. Tesla sold ozone machines to doctors for medical use, 
the same thing we are doing 100 years later, with a design based on one of 
his from the 1920s. We have seen one of these 75 year old generators, and 
it still works perfectly. Tesla produced ozonated olive oil and sold it to 
naturopaths, and we do, too." This came from
