Howdy Richard, what makes you think the classical glass tube dielectric barrier 
discharge ozone production process (which you are using IIRC) can be improved 
upon, and what's troubling about it?

 Thanks Esa,

Obviously Tesla never built one like the patent drawing or he would have wound 
up with  clean breath and a nitric acid bath.

Howdy Vorts,
As some are aware, one of our companies build water treating and wastewater 
disinfection chem feed inductors. We have depended on our industry to produce 
the remainder of the systems including the chemicals for this purpose. We are 
not chemists or physicists. We need systems that can produce quantities of in 
situozone gas at a lower cost and safer methods.
There are new exotics entering the nation's water supply that we believe can 
be destroyed via ozone treatment but the existing processes for making ozone 
are both expensive and troubling.

There are  Vorts here that have an idea on the subject that may help our 
industry.

Several things Michel.
The demand is increasing, ozone gas is expensive, ozone doesn't store like 
chlorine so it's made on the job, it's not a universal like liquid bleach. 
The process is tricky  so locating a ozone generator in a wastewater plant 
using unskilled labor can take years off your life.

Richard's solution ??  ask the Vorts, of course.
The collection of wisdom in VortexL exceeds even the accumulated brainpower 
of the Dime Box saloon's scientific advisory panel which includes several ex 
politicians and busted bankers.
The suggestion for using a parabolic reflector for directing the UV lamp 
output was an example of how this group operates.. good idea. This has led 
to thinking of why not consider a UV lamp does not have to be shaped like 
a tube. hmm
Our task in this grand scheme is to build a mixer that will mix ozone. We 
decided the solution was to take a bubble of ozone, place it on a sledge 
hammer and hit it with another sledge hammer.. shazzaam! instant dissolved 
ozone. Translated... slice water under presssure at above 125 f/s velocity 
and the collapse behind will sledgehammer the bubble.. velocity shear.
Howdy to you too! Michal. darn if we don't have you talking like a Texan.. 
what will Germany and France think of you ?

Producing ozone using UV, why not, that's indeed what the sun does in the upper 
atmosphere and what makes the sky blue, how does it compare with the DBD method 
in terms of efficiency and cost?

Is ozone a requirement, if not maybe you could produce bleach on the spot.

Michel

P.S. If I talked like a Texan I wouldn't understand a word of what I say ;-) 
Germany wouldn't think much of me, haven't been there a lot, nice green place 
and lots of beer though.

For pure kill power, ozone has the right stuff, no residual and good 
reduction properties. Bleach must be destructed after doing it's job.The 
task is getting ozone in the right place immediately on generation. Like 
Chlorine gas.. the first 3 seconds holds the kill power. We are looking at 
shapes of the UV lamp for a method of surrounding the target area in 
creating the initial gas phase.
Everybody in Germany moved to Texas in the 1820's and are still here and 
speak German like a native. I live in Walhalla.. that's betrween Nechanitz 
and Rutersville. nearby is Waldeck and Weimar.. across to road from New Ulm 
and Dubina , which is down the road from Praha ( oops a Czech slipped in)
Not to worry, Shiner Texas has the beer plant...The first German settlement

Jones answered, with ample supporting arguments and evidence, my question about 
efficiency of UV tube based methods: not efficient at all, as I had suspected.

Going back to gas discharge (DBD, the classical process), it occurred to me 
that the best way to do it in situ was to use the water itself as a discharge 
surface, a quick Googling showed this has indeed been done with what seems to 
be good results, see http://www.center.bg.ac.yu/plasma/plasmapic/DBD.pdf , 
how's that Richard?

Merci, or mercy-me. OK- now we are getting somewhere with this international

IOW - in looking for synergy in a hybrid design - and given that a simple 
cylindrical barrel or reactor, which is partly filled with salt water, and 
continually evacuated, so that there is a partial vacuum above the water --

... and a cathode above the water is pulsed to provide an HV arc through the 
water vapor, with the water surface being the anode.

...and with an RF antenna underwater - providing some H2 (the Kanzius approach) 
...

...which H2 and nascent hydrogen, as it is formed and when it gets to the 
surface, immediately interacts with the pulsed arc discharge, forming hydrinos 
with the emission of EUV ... 

...and the EUV then interacts with the O2 in the water and in the vapor near 
the surface (as any HOOH has been forced to decay) ...

... but the whole thing is kept relatively cool (the arc is HV and low current) 
so that the O3 is stable with a lifetime of 10-15 minutes ... 

...$64 question - will the gas being drawn off by the vacuum pump contain 
significant amounts of ozone?

Forgot to add - we also require some extra O2 to be bubbled through the barrel, 
otherwise the end product is all steam. Not sure the pressure-swing device 
enrichment device is efficient enough for very cheap O2. 

Maybe Robin knows?

Unfortunately I don't, however I'm guessing that the energies involved are small
compared to electrolysis, so I would expect it to be cheaper than that, and I
suspect that electrolysis would be cheaper than buying bottled oxygen (based on
anecdotal reports of Wiseman technology Brown's gas generators).
