RE: Ozone and Safety

["Basura, Brian" <brian.basura-at-unistudios-dot-com> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

Gomez points out an interesting observation which I've also made while
operating the Mini-Twin  in an enclosed room. The ozone seems to build up a
lot faster at an intermediate power level (when the arcs aren't connecting
and there is a lot of corona). When running at full power with connected
streamers the buildup takes a lot longer.

Mini-Twin details at http://fp2.hughes-dot-net/brianb/newpage12.htm

I've noticed that, when I run a coil in a too-small room with inadequate
ventilation, it isn't running at high power with "power arcs" (discharges
connected at both ends to a conductor) hitting everything in sight, that the
ozone builds up fast.  It's when I operate it at low power levels with only
secondary corona or many weak, filamentary streamers coming off the toroid
that the ozone seems to fill the room instantly.
