Not a video - More late night prototyping

It took a bit of effort, but I squeezed larger capacitors than it was designed for onto the Minion PCB while still fitting in the case.

I now have an atmoshperic invigorator with integrated voltage multiplier for maximum reliability (no pulsing coils).  The output hisses with no significant mains ripple noise.

Now for a long term test.

Ok thanks. I'll try to find one of the potted modules. I would like to try the minions at some point though. =]

Hammond seem to have bases around the world.

The current is only 1mA. A possible option for 120V is to use two of the Minion ioniser PCBs and make one a positive ioniser and one a negative ioniser. (Diodes round the other way.) Then use the negative one to the needles and the positive to the plate. It would probably be a lot easier using one of the potted ioniser modules as shown in some recent videos.

I would like to build the Atmoshperic Invigorator but I live in the US with 120VAC. Can I use a step up transformer (such as the Antek AS-05T240) to get the 240VAC required? It probably doesn't draw all that much current, would I be correct in assuming the 100mA limit of the transformer be good enough?

Can't possibly be actually made in Kanuckistan! Must just be assembled and or packaged there "With Globally Sourced Pieces-Parts"! Just like the Peoples Republic of North America (that country formally known as The United States of America).

The dielectric ceramic plates are very high output. The power consumption isn't too dramatic.

I am wanting to build a wireless hand held ozone generator for dosing stinky items inside a container. I am undecided if I should go AC and use a dielectric barrier discharge or if I should go DC with a standard ionizer type arrangement. I think the dielectric discharge would have more output but my require higher power.

not tired of the ozone projects and tear downs , all information is use full.

It's a Canadian made Hammond case.

I lucked out and got a heaven fresh unit for $15 came with a big uvc lamp and tons of ionizer tips lol I was light headed within minutes, this is probably a much more appropriate size! 😅

I like the small low profile blue housing.

Building a 12v version at the moment, just waiting delivery of the Anion Generator DIY Ionizer (they have arrived in the UK). Looking to drive it from a 12v Solar panel that can easily put out 20v.

Looking Good when will it be on sale.

Perfect idea!

Maybe one in your local?

I think I'll put this central to the house. Maybe even in my bedroom if it's not too wild.

Big Clive

The step up transformer can have the secondary linked to the primary like an autotransformer.

Big Clive

Ionisers for public health are my primary hobby focus now (when I'm not distracted by making stupid fun things). Greatly looking forward to a full build! Do you have an installation location choice for this when it's done?

Nice!

It looks like a excellent design willing to give it a go. You’re lucky starting at 240V. For US i’m thinking of a small step up mains transformer to get it going. Any issues of concern on the breakdown voltage of the step up transformer in case the HV output finds its way to earth?

A thing of beauty is a wonder to behold!
