Does anyone know how to make Ozone generator???
I recently became aware of existence of a physical phenomenon which is called "silent discharge" -Thanks to a dear friend ,Woelen! - It seems Ozone
can be generated this way!
I already made an attempt but it was not a good one

In an O3 generator, the electrodes are separated by a dielectric material (glass or other suitable insulator).
A straight wire through the tube centre with the other electrode being alu-foil or similar affixed to the tube's outer surface will suffice . .
Being oxidising, O3 readily degrades rubber!

Looks good, except for that rubber, Also have one electrode on the outside of the tube. A good read on ozone production:

And guys do u know ozone indicators??? for example I heard urea would be decomposed in exposure of ozone
Do u think it is possible to indicate ozone this way???

Ground glass is the ideal solution, but wrapping the rubber bungs with teflon tape can eliminate damage if done carefully enough . . .
And starch-iodide papers are good indicators for ozone!

What are starch-iodide papers u mean I just add iodine to starch??? then i think it would become purple but I don't know how it would indicate ozone
could u describe more???

Smell it, at very low PPM it will smell like a copy machine, (they produce small amounts of ozone.) At higher PPM the smell is hard to explain: It
smells kind of like bleach, (chlorine), HV source, ect.

What do you want to do with the ozone created? It is a fairly dangerous compound of not handled with care, potentially very deadly, and it doesn't
seem to me you are very knowledgeable. Not to offend you though, just wanting to help.
benzene triozonide, http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=1181, you wouldn't be the first to blow up a complete lab and some people with you... I
can't find the person doing it, but iirc the person in question blew up himself and people on the floors above and below him, with just a liter or
something.
Not only dangerous with benzene, but with about every organic compound and maybe inorganic compounds.
Edit: To help you on the way though; iodide, something else than iodine, is oxidized by ozone, therefor you can use starch as an indicator. If you
don't get it after this hint, you really shouldn't be playing around with ozone.

The few percent conversion of O2 in a homemade plasma-tube is more an irritant than a danger, but voltages used can be lethal!

" Ozone by Electrolysis. When 20% H2SO4 is electrolyzed it is possible, by employing a water-cooled platinum
anode and current density of ~80Acm-2, to obtain oxygen that contains as much as 28g O3 per m3 or ~7g O3
per KWH [1].
If an alternating current is superimposed upon the direct current employed the yield of O3 is increased [2]."

I don't know the mechanism by which ozone and benzene bind, but if it is anything more than dissolving, cumulatively it wouldn't matter what your
conversion rate is.

It forms benzene triozonide (the ozone adds to the pi bonds). According to
http://chem-guide.blogspot.com/2010/04/chemical-properties-o...
it might be an interesting way of preparing glyoxal  .

I made changes !!!
but I faced a new problem!!! It seems silent discharge produces a lot of heat on the electrode connected to the ground!!!
so,I fear if I run my device it will cause in the breaking of the glass tube (I choose a Pyrex glass) or burning of the electrode(I think oxygen or
Ozone might react with the electrode)!!!soon!!!
And does anyone know the exact mechanism of producing Ozone by silent discharge??? If u have noticed there is a blue light emitting from the
electrodes once I heard UV light can produce Ozone from Oxygen ,do u think the blue light might be UV??? and if so, why Ozone is produced by silent
discharge???
I mean why electric arc cannot produce it???

why Coppy machines produce Ozone and what is the mechanism???
by the way "I Love The Smell Of Ozone at low ppms!"
once I made a more powerful electeric arc generator and it smelled like "dead fish!" I don't know why ??? is it possible that Ammonia (NH3) is
formed??? but how???

Thanks for your comment
1.I know Ozone is dangerous!!! and I know it is not a stable compound it will be decomposed soon to Oxygen (30 minutes is its life time)
2.I know iodine is different from iodide(When I was a kid I used Iodine as an indicator of Starch! it turned potatoes in to purple colored as I can
barely remember but u know I wanted to know Ozone reacts with Starch??? with Iodine??? or with both??? and also I knew we can dissolve Iodine in
alcohol ,if I make a solution and then I bauble Ozone through it what would happen??? the Iodine will vanish??? due to formation of a new compound???
or alcohol will react with Ozone and form a new compound???
what will happen???

The ozone oxidizes iodide to triiodide, which complexes with the starch.
By the way, one question mark per question is sufficient.

what is the property of triiodide? I mean what is the difference between Iodide and Triiodide which helps to indicate Ozone?

Instead of stumbling around back and forth with these unending hints, I'll just tell you. You make a solution of starch and iodide
and soak this onto a piece of paper. Coming into contact with an oxidizer (like ozone) oxidizes some of the iodide to iodine, which
forms the triiodide ion. This complexes with starch to form the deep blue color. So, you start with a colorless solution absorbed
onto white paper, blow air with suspected ozone in it at the paper, and if it turns blue it indicates that oxidizers (in this case ozone) are present.
Be extremely careful with ozone and high voltages.

I'm not an expert, but it is made in a similar way that you are trying to make it. It ionizes air O2 + Hv → 2O. Then O +
O2 → O3.
Almost all appliance's that use Hv, tend to produce small quantity's of O3.

No, it would be nitrogen dioxide NO2. It doesn't really smell like "dead fish" though.

Methylamines released by the hot methanal-urea polymer (sockets and plugs) would explain the fish-smell . . .

By the way can u describe more?
the composition of the solution?
starch(? grams) + (?grams Iodied ) + how many mililiters of water?

This is a larger scale preparation. You should probably scale it down.
