I made this completely custom ioniser (negative ion generator) for my mum and dad decades ago. It has a fairly beefy multiplier and an outlet terminal that allows different emitters to be plugged in. I can recall that I made a multi point emitter for air cleaning and a probe that emitted ions from the end for medical purposes.
It's been in use continuously since, mainly to keep a musty larder (food store) fresh by precipitating any dust out of the air and generating a tiny quantity of ozone to freshen it too.
My brother told me he didn't think it was working any more because the lights on it weren't lighting up. It was working, but was really in need of a good clean and refurbishment, so here it is.

He’s no Electoboom, “ooow!”.
I make this safety violation all the time and even have an extension cord in the garage that got cut that I reattached by crossing the wires and left it all exposed because I'm a very naughty otter because I can't gain enough weight to be a naughty bear like you.
I have a lot of microwave transformers, diodes, and capacitors laying around and I want to make an ozone generator out of those after finding out how good they are for cleaning shoes.
hi. does neon mounting not affect the performance of negative ions? I guess it ends with the emission of ions?! …
Corona discharge?
Clive, do you have PCB boards for this project for sale, or do you have the Gerber file's?
We used to have an air purifier that had the needles sticking out in a sort of plastic cage. It worked fairly well but came with a damn fan and carbon filter to clean the air as well. Back then (before the Doctors got a hold on my old body) I had a difficult time getting to sleep, and uncommonly, white noise just bothered the hell out of me, so I told my good wife of 50 years to throw that damn thing out! She did. Now that I am doped up, I have a hard time staying awake at night, even before going to bed, with the noises of the house, and my good wife watching the television at a sound level that the neighbors call to complain about the gun fire when detective programs are on I sort of wish I had it back. I was thinking of trying to build one of these for our home but after seeing how many cells I would have to make for our 125 volt system I sort of put it on hold for awhile. Perhaps I will try to duplicate the one you built and see if that will work. I wonder if 400 volt rated 0.022 micro fared caps would work? I have at least a hundred of those little buggers that came in a combo pack from Electronic Goldmine.
Does anyone know how to make a three-phase version? I happen to have a hobby sized three-phase generator and I want to make a handheld ionizer. (its a delta generator…)
if you say I have to thumbs it down, than I guess i have no choice 🙁
… "click" …
shit I clicked thumbs up by mistake!
Fulllllll bridge rectifier . Ah wrong guy 😂
