16-17% oxygen in your air? Wow. Guess there is not quite as much O2 in the air when you are upside down!

From the moment I saw the latex input tube lying woefully unattached to anything in particular, I surmised; This man intends to blow through this ungrounded, fabri-cobbled buzzing electrical nightmare. Truthfully I probably would have done the very same thing.

“eBay ozone generator” sounds very dangerous and somewhat illegal. I’m interested.

- Make sure that your holding-tongs don't touch the metal parts. They may look isolated because of the red rubber, but you don't know how much voltage the coating can withstand or if it is broken. If they get contact they electrify your whole setup and maybe even your table if it is metal. - Also don't expect your rubber gloves to safe you from kilovolts. - Wear shoes with thick rubber soles. - Better google high-voltage safety and don't read what anyone writes in the comments. xD

DO NOT touch the tube right after turning it off, most of all not the way you did at 7:04. It could have some capacitance at the output and it will give you a nasty shock even through gloves

Awesome I love electrochemistry, even better with high voltages. Just remember that you may get small amounts of NO/NO2 alongside the O3 I think they can also convert iodide to iodine and might screw with your titration.

Glad I could help you buy your death trap hell machine

I had a cord just like that in my useless cords drawer which I chopped up for some project. Turned out it was the cord for my PS3 which wound up in the drawer after I moved. Luckily those types of cords are a dime a dozen and used on just about everything. So it wasn't hard to replace. Figures I had to pick the only cord that was actually useful.

Any chance you have a link to this ozone generator? I've got a couple projects I need one for

Hellmachine Experiments aka Tdep singlehandedly replaces the ozone layer part 1

Really you want A: an isolating transformer and B: to have those cables terminated into some kind of block with a fuse.

My first response was: "Holy Shit! It Works!" My next thought was "That thing is a death trap in a nice silver tube."

Best name ever, “Deathtrap-Hellmachine”. Yeah, it’d have to originate in China. Chemists historically don’t have a long life expectancy. This kind of goes to that.

2:40 You could add an earth wire yourself if some of the outside of the generator is made of metal. Just take a plug with an earth wire and connect it to every metal part you can, probably one connection to the main body of the apparatus and one connection to the tube would be required. Then use a voltmeter to check that you get close to zero resistance between any of the metal parts you've grounded and the earth prong of your plug.

2:51 : if I remember well, regular glass (whether borosillicate or soda-lime) is completely opaque at 184 nm (the mercury emission line that breaks down oxygen into ozone). So it almost certainly is quartz! Fairly high optical grade too to be transparent at that wavelength. I'm surprised you could get that for $30!

Yeah dude I don't mess with High Voltage any more, I got electricuted by an industrial grade coffee grinder when I was young, kinda ruined it for me... Hey, I'm being serious, it reached out at me!

"I get to turn it on for the first time (nervous giggle)" From a distance. Wearing thick gloves. Smart man 👍🏻

Thank you so much mate I had a really bad day and you always make me smile!

man who makes and tests explosive compounds: "electronics scare me"

The hell machine lol, "Gunna buy an air pump from China, you know something cheap and nasty." You are a gold mine of laughs!

Don't say blow into the tube... don't say blow into the tube... don't say blow into the OH GODDAMN IT.

Explosive plants update?

dangers _before_ you get to the explosions .. dude you is awesome!

You could use a vacuum on the other side and pull air through like a bong instead of buying a pump

Air pumps are available at every aquarium supplier.

I expected his breath to cause it to go yellow... 😂❤

Using a cable with a ground wire could make this device safer. The ground wire should be connected to the metal cylinder. The secondary winding (the high voltage output) of the transformer *should* be electrically isolated from both the live and neutral (brown and blue). If the insulation in the transformer fails then there is the possibility of the metal enclosure becoming 240v with respect to the ground you are standing on. The ground wire is designed to shunt any stray voltage/current on the enclosure of the device to ground under a fault condition. Its also probably worth checking if your house has a RCD breaker that can cut off the power to the circurt very fast in the event of a ground fault. You will still need to be very careful with the non grounded high voltage wire. Love your channel by the way. Good luck and be safe!

Only Temu could hold-my-beer to this.

by the way the polarity doesn't mattsr not because of this, but because the mains provides alternating current anyway

Spray starch, what's next, liquid potato?

I wonder how it would work out if you hooked up multiple of those transformer ozone tube things up together? Obviously if they were parallel then it would just make more ozone, but if you linked them up in series, so the output of one feeds into the input of the other, do you think the result would be any different?

I'm pretty sure Australians burn through a fair amount of oxygen just cursing. That may explain the unusually low oxygen content

So cool,Just remember blow don’t suck. Bill from Texas

The ozone machine will certainly generate NOx when using the air. The iodide solution is also sensitive to NOx?

What about chaning 4 of them with a diapram pump and ptfe tubing and a case to make a small compact zone generator hmmm

You show your true hell scared feelings.. you behind the barricade

how do you optimize between O3 vs NO production? i'm trying to go the other way to produce nitrogen oxides

That's really cool. You could use sudan red to detect that absorption by carbon double bond in substrate has ceased - now that you know it works. Known molar concentration of substrate and visible endpoint will give molar production rate.

There is no point writing this now given this (like every video) is in the past, but aside from the percentage of Oxygen in air, I think the hell machine could do with an inline fuse. You can get them from Jaycar (or China) and it will stop you blowing your house cct breaker if the machine has a short circuit. Also I am glad nothing went yellow.

That cord is incredibly common, you will not miss it.

Polarity won't matter from your AC plug. There's no exposed metal parts on your transformer so it's considered Double Insulated and an earth isn't necessary. I got onto this channel through your 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘱 channel and really like it, in spite of my lack of chemistry knowledge - Happy to help with electrical stuff though.

It’s probably producing nitrogen oxides when you using air as oxygen source.

I just got an ozone tube off ebay and planned to make one similar to yours (I get to learn from your mistakes, thanks!) At 2:42 you were talking about polarity, but that's a cable that gets plugged into the wall, hence it uses AC current, right? Im pretty sure AC current has no polarity

Doh. If you run air through high voltage you will get Nitrogen Oxides as well as ozone. Running silent discharge through air was an old way of fixing nitrogen a century ago.

Ozonolysis!

You know what this looks like? It looks like a pond or aquarium sterilizer. Water is pumped around a tube emitting UV light, which destroys the DNA of algae. A quartz tube has to be used because regular glass blocks UV-B and UV-C. UV light would be given off by high voltage sparking that creates O³. So I wonder if this is some Chinese Frankenstein pond sterilizer doohickey. I'd like to see what the guts look like. Oh, please don't pump conductive liquids through it, maybe a noble gas though? Plasma pump? 🤔

You could also get yourself an oxygen concetrator. That would ve pretty efficient in the long term and would also get rid of the nitrogen and wouldnt allow the production of NO and NO2.

Im thinking the air from your lungs has even less o2. More co2. So it looks like it works pretty well.

You could repair the hole in the ozone layer

Very interesting. Thanks!

That looked like the charging cord to an electric shaver

It's a water ozonator for food. Sterilize your food from pesticides, bugs, mold and anything else.

Oh..and..polarity doesn’t matter, it’s alternating current, not direct current. There is no polarity. And grounding something is like holding a sausage on a stick into something before putting your own hand in it.

I want this hell machine on a t-shirt but the shit has to be on fire/exploding

“Earthing”. I’m using it.

Oizoine is awesome

Couldn't you just ground it to the enclosure?

I remember the time I almost killed myself welding when I nodded off and grabed the rod (I was arc welding) and right as I grabbed it I was still awake enough to slap that Thing down so that my body was not the path of least resistance to the ground

ooooooooh you're back, let's hope the generator works

Maybe cover the outside of the tube with electrical tape, just to be slightly more safe.

Do you correct a lot of your chemistry keeping mindful of the fact that you are upside down? Bill from Texas

Not sure if you've tried, but the hell machine's power supply makes some pretty nice arcs if you disconnect it from the housing. Looks like it's around 100KV to me

Do you not have a cheap aquarium air pump? When I say cheap, I mean really cheap.

Blowing in the O3 generator: I wonder how CO2 goes in the hell machine?

Europe may be different but how do you get 240v from two wires (single phase) is that what the electrical utility provides at the meter and standard in the home? We have 120v per phase one secondary service lead on each bus red and black supply and a white neutral as the alternate return then a ground wire to keep a guy from getting dead!

air is 20.9 % oxygen

Finally!

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED THIS

Who would win: super dangerous chemicals or *two wire-y Bois*

Polarity on AC😂

Can you do a 24 hour livestream of ozone creation?

Is this in a uv

You probably could ground that "Hell machine"

Australian man makes Coca-Cola using ozone machine

At my home I have a "oh-zone" it's my bedroom. And when I get a visitor to my bedroom, I become a "oh-zone generator"

Are you using the ozone as a reagent? And how are we sure you didn't use an iodine clock rxn? ;)

NO NO NO CUT THE _BLUE_ WIRE NOT THE _RED_ ONE!!! The _BLUE_ WIRE!!!

..and all the NOx ??

I once heard that Persulfates or permanganates can decompose to ozone under some conditions, but I am not sure. Does anybody know anything about the synthesis of ozone without high voltage?

You are thé best guy

Polarity does not matter at all at the point you messed with at least, as that was AC. AC is alternating current and the polarity actually switches many times per second.

You should have a partner in crime that does the electronics… I could have earthed and wired that… correctly. OTOH that wouldn’t really be in keeping with the nature of this channel. 😎😉🤣

I am so confused,you blow out CO2 not O2.. I guess it still turns into a radical and reacts

You don’t need to buy an ozone generator in Australia.

get a fish tank air bubbler at the local pet supply

Polarity dosent matter 8n any ac curcit

dat hell machine tho

There is nothing like a useless cable! If you ask my better half, every cable is useless.

Make chlorates by running wall socket mains power through salt water (just kidding)

You had no air pump whatsoever? Not even a bicycle pump, or a bellows fashioned from a plastic bottle and a plastic bag? I would not have put my mouth anywhere near that hell machine thing.

You do know how toxic ozone is? not a good idea to suck. I wonder if you would be so keen to blow into the apparatus if it was generating hydrogen cyanide, strange really as ozone has an LD50 7 to 10 times lower than HCN. Don't think it's a good idea to use wet air, such as in breath, depending on the method of ozone generation. If it's silent discharge it is not a good idea to have water in the discharge tube. I use a cheap fish tank air pump with a one way valve fitted to stop the ozone attacking the pump diaphragm and a dreschel flask to stop reactant leaking back into the generator. Ozone is used to sterilise pond water, it is possible to buy blue coloured ozone resistant plastic pipe for such applications. I assume you are going to investigate the unstable ozonides. Some are reported to be highly unstable powerful explosives. (FYI, new anti terrorist legislation currently going through the UK parliament may make simply viewing youtube sites such as yours illegal in the UK.)

Melbourne Bitter? lel

Mmk idea

fuck 2 years to spend 30 dollars?? and jeez Just use the thing

Blug lol

Did you just solder 240 ac wires? Thats a big nono
