These modules are being widely sold on eBay, both inside cases with fans, or in their bare form.
It's worth mentioning that these units shouldn't really be used outside a grounded metal case for a few reasons:-
They operate at very high voltage. Around 4kV and probably in the region of 30mA.
They will get quite hot in use. Possibly too hot without fan cooling.
The failure mode is sometimes a sustained hot electrical arc.
They will almost certainly emit huge quantities of electrical noise.
The level of ozone generated, especially with a fan, is huge. They are not suitable for use in small rooms other than for shock ozone treatment. I'd categorise these as industrial modules.
The circuitry was surprising. Very reminiscent of an electronic halogen driver. I'm wondering if this is the same circuitry used in electronic neon power supplies.

These things are great. I just recently got one off eBay.
I've had it one day.
They really kill odors great so far.
Your almost at a million subs clive!
Even the regulars here can benefit from your knowledge….repetition makes perfection.
Brilliant deduction. Excellent videos!

Sir, you are PRO-ZONE.

That sounds like a good name for an aging heavy metal band…🤭

Hello Clive Sir! I know this vid is 2yrs old but I'm going to ask you for simplicity sake if you could post a link or reference me and others to a breadboard schematic/diagram/layout where I can put it together initially and replace components very simply when they expire/burn out. my soldering skills are less that stellar. I would appreciate this simple circuit with needed components list (I just bought this exact unit in the 110V flavor for US voltage) and there ratings to clone this for personal use only. I've been using corona discharge ozone generators for most of my adult life but there getting expensive buying the 200 dollar units that don't last, so, Maybe you have something I could use to whip up a couple of these on breadboards. Thank you in advance. p.s. love your videos.
I picked up one of these and i dont like the smell of ozone but it did make my room smell much better
Superb explanation of this simple ( not to me😊) circuit.
