This thing actually does disrupt molecules. By applying a high voltage to needle tips in front of oppositely charged rings it generates small points of electrical plasma that split air molecules into separate atoms, allowing some to recombine into short lived, but very useful active molecules like ozone.

This project is designed to be used with the cheap ioniser style power supplies on eBay, and will convert them to a mini "ionic breeze" type unit that blows a gentle draught of air out the front with active components that have beneficial effects in some indoor environments.

I made a video about ozone that explains more:-

Here are links to the PCB zipped gerber files. You'll probably have to copy and paste the links into your browser. YouTube might block links to zip files for security reasons.

It's two separate designs because the corners are rounded and PCB makers may not like two different PCBs being submitted as a single panel.

The front plate with different text:-

I've since tested this module with mains voltage ioniser modules, and the differing module sizes give different levels of ozone output. If using the mains voltage modules I recommend using two 1 Megohm resistors in series with each wire for safety. Preferably 1/2W or 1W resistors for their higher voltage rating. It works very well with the 12V module I showed, which is effectively an ozone generator already with its two opposite polarity carbon fibre emitters. When used with this panel much more ozone is generated.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
