@@PlasmaChannel Hi Sir (sorry, this is my first time on this channel and I don't know your name yet). I have a question: how do you know that the bactericidal effect that was showed in your test wasn't caused by the corona discharge itself? Most studies show results of airborne ozone, but I haven't read any papers on the effect of high voltage on bacterias and virus.
@@PlasmaChannel Hi Plasma Channel. i only mentioned in the context of sterilization and in medical applications. This guy jumps on to me about breathing. I am well aware it bad to breathe it in at high concentrations and for long periods of time. we have 3 ozone generators fora dozen years and we use them to make ozonated water to drink to keep us healthy or to knock out to bugs from food poisoning. Also recently to kill corona virus in the air from suspected carrier. none of us have had any issues with lungs. You can google medical uses of ozone yourself. you can use it to sterilize PPE and face masks by enclosing these items in a box or small cupboard or a small room. AND THEN LEAVING THE ROOM.
There's another drawback of ozone when used to sterilise rooms, though: ozone is a powerful oxidiser so it's corrosive, and the objects in your room might not appreciate it... (particularly iron/steel and rubber).
Correct, however ozone still takes quite some time to corrode plastic and rubber. Acrylic for example has a very high resistance to ozone correction. Many rubbers exhibit mild corrosion resistance as well. So, if using ozone in an open room once every while, the overall damage to items would take years to become noticeable, if even measurable. It’s not an immediate reaction like pouring acid on a table. And, as mentioned in the video, you do need to leave the room/ building if using ozone sterilization. A fan is used to circulate it around the room. You’d come back in, open windows immediately, turn off the device, and leave again until room has aired out.
@@PlasmaChannel I have this little Ozone generator from an old washing machine that pumps out ozone gas(Model TCB-66100A2C) with an external pump. Can I use it to sterilize my phone or dirty objects? Should oI combine it with a UV lamp, or would that be too overkill?

This guy deserves more than millions of subscribers. I don't understand why the people are not aware about true knowledge this guy is distributing for free!
Even for people with no skin problems, rubbing alcohol is starting to get scarce in some places because of the pandemic and this tecnologia avoids the problem all together. Just imagine if the system is hooked to a copper door knoob so it steralizes itself! 😍
Copper door knobs already sterilize themselves. That's the entire point of copper. There's a very important reason why this is never done. Ozone is toxic af. You can not use it willy nilly, like being demonstrated in the video, this is potentially very dangerous. At the very least, that machine needs a timer, to make sure nobody accidently leaves it on.
Eugene S not true. The concentrations that are dangerous, dangerous only to lung tissue, you can’t even inhale because your throat will close. Of course if you are stupid enough you can always find a way to harm yourself with lower concentrations over longer exposures.
For perspective, I have multiple machines that produce FAR greater ozone levels then this, that I use on the regular. And I do mean regular. I have worked around high levels of ozone for 16 years straight. Last doctor noted zero problems with my lungs, and I’m very healthy. As stated in the video, this device does not produce enough ozone in one use to cause harm. Otherwise, I’d have died 30 times over by now.
Tell me about it. I use rubbing alcohol to clean my glasses and wipe the oil off of my face and I can't find it anywhere. I also made up some concentrated hydrogen peroxide and realized I haven't got any fuel to mix it with cuz I was gonna just use 99% rubbing alcohol. The funny thing is, 70% works better for sterilization, but people still buy out all of the 99%. The only reason I buy 99% is because I can dilute it with sterile distilled water and make it 70% or 50% if need be.
@@outdoorflowsports HUH? I've done a good amount of research on ozone, I have yet to hear the idea that your throat will close before you breathe in toxic levels... Do you have a link to anything that proves this?? Because that just sounds silly.
Gotta say, this guy is way ahead of the curve! Like light speed ahead. Taking complex difficult concepts and packaging them down to understandable ideas and facts. Great personality for these presentations too. Gotta love it
Interesting concept and build! I would definitely go for this type of device - I hate washing my hands too often as it really dries them out and they start to crack.
Hey Nigel! If high enough electrical frequencies are used( like mine) it is also safe. I’m going look into the possibility of manufacturing a test run of these things, but more compact.
@@PlasmaChannel Go for it, this is something that Commercial and Consumer markets would eat up, especially right now. Have you looked into doing this in such a way that it still sterilized, but [any] other object makes the corona & therefor Ozone, instead of your hands? I believe many everyday people out there may not be comfortable with touching high voltage even if it is safe.
It could do 2 things: 1. It could sterilize all your visitors hands before they enter your home. - And - 2. It could collect a bunch of people with pacemaker-implants in a large pile outside your door.
It's awesome, I've been planning to build this kind of device for a project and I found this amazing video. Anyway, can you make a video on how to create the portable high voltage high frequency supply that you use? It's gonna be very helpful 😊
I used ozone in my work for years, and you really thought out of the box in this project! That is a very different approach to the use of ozone in sterilization!
Finally somebody presenting And discussing ozone that's not trying to sell me something. I haven't looked recently but I've looked in the past way before this virus fiasco about ozone and all I see are videos on "how our ozone product is the best on the market!".
UV-C radiation actually creates a ton of ozone. I have a 200W low pressure discharge mercury lamp system and after 30 minutes of running in a normal sized room it is practically impossible to breathe in the given room because of the high concentration of ozone.
Last year I picked up an ozone generator from Amazon for $60. Its got the replaceable ceramic-style aquare plates. This thing puts out an insane amount of ozone immediately. This is geared more for industrial scale ozone remediation though. Would be good to do a re-test with hands only exposed to ozone for 10-15 secs maybe?
Jason, I really want to thank you for a great Public Service Announcement (PSA). You covered the issues, presented the topic, included the cautionary warnings, and provided links to more information. A tip to improve future monetization, identify and present (without personal endorsement) systems that provide the service according to reliable sources. Of course get their permission first, so they are willing to be advertised without remuneration for your support. I know, that is the high wire acrobat routine for a RUclips channel. But some of us would actually go there and check it out. Sincerely, John P.S. Great decor in the condo.
This is some amazeballs stuff! I always watch your videos because of the sparkly electrical stuff you always show off. It's nice to see the stuff I study at university in action! Thanks Jay, keep well!
I work in a hospital, in the ICU. When everybody was freaking out about reusing supplies because of cross contamination, I suggested to my boss talking to directors above her about purchasing UVC lights, or anyting ozone generating to maybe sterilize masks for reuse. The answer I got was, nope. Can't do it. No reason given, I guess in the corporate setting, the only thing that makes sense is whatever costs the most and doesn't benefit the employees.
FEMA Region 9 it’s a ridiculous pain suggesting ideas that cost money regardless of the benefit. I’ve suggested sound dampening for my classroom, absolutely no action on it.
Big Pharma would never stand for it. Remember Dr Beggs 20 years suggested using ionizers to lower hospital infection rates. Remember what happened to him and his ideas?
ive been waiting for someone to do a video on this for a while. thank you very much for the informative dissemination of relevant fact and the undeniable study results. quick note, not only is uv line of sight, it also causes cancer. this corona method is much safer. the suppression of which for the lsst 100+ years is nothing short of genocide markedly highlighted by the current covid pandemic and the fact that you were able to build this so cheaply. if this technology were in invested in with the same ferocity as other more destructive technologies, the results could be utopian
Suppression??? For what reason? Cheap sterilization is a much-sought-after technology in many fields. Also, Ozone's a pollutant and also toxic in high concentrations- which is why you wouldn't put it in a box to sterilize, say, goggles, because it'd end up building up and be a potential hazard to anyone opening said box.
@@thepetrarcticwar2778 the same reason cannabis as medicine was suppressed for the last 100 years. the ability to kill cancer is also much sought after by many people but cannabis is still federally considered to have no medical use as far as "ozone in the box", fcking vent it. thats a silly reason not to use this tech
I have watched this video and the linked videos several times over, but there just is not enough information to recreate what you have going on without more expertise. Could you please consider posting a detailed tutorial? Amazon links aren't necessarily needed, but each specific part used, how each thing is assembled and why, how to check the quality of your work as you go, etc would be immensely helpful. This is a beautiful concept and has so many applications, but is also just so educational. Thank you!
Retitle this video adding the word Corona and you got the next viral video. The world is searching the net right now about Corona. The governments are wanting solutions. You hit the nail hard on the head here bro. Just call it a nail. Much love and thank you as always Jay.
Hi Garett, thank you so much. I thought about adding corona to the title, but wanted the video to be timeless and not tied to one specific event. I wanted it about the general concept of cleaning hands. It would be great if it went viral - but I’m leaving that to the people to decide! If it’s shareworthy, I hope people share it!
@@PlasmaChannel so you purposefully called this corona killing corona machine. An instant sanitizer. My brother you did the ultimate, you stayed classy. No profiteering from pain to remain. I applaud you Jay. A cut above the rest.
HI Everybody. I was wondering if a plasma ball could be used to disable the corona virus inside the lungs simply by holding a plasma ball/tesla coil near the lung/chest area front and back as the field seems to exist quite a distance. Viruses are quite fragile and a strong em field could disable it's reproductive ability and the body could clear it like any other infection....
Not at all.. ozone is kinda toxic (even though its basically oxygen) also holding this kind of charge near palm is painless and not damaging but around the chest area? Don’t expect miracles.
Great video. From someone with a degree in both physics & chemistry, your science is spot on. I might add though, sterilisation with a UVC Ozone producing bulb of at least 20 watts will thoroughly clean a room. Set it on a timer to come on for 90 minutes during the night and the room is clean and ozone free by the morning. Never look at a UVC bulb when it’s switched on, leave the room and explain to your family exactly what it is.
Awesome!! Since it is the ozone and not the corona itself, I'm assuming that it would still sanitize the parts of your hands the Sparks didn't actually touch?
Hi Will, I appreciate that sentiment. I do love this type of science. It's what i'm passionate about and I really want to spread this passion through RUclips. You can help with the sub count by sharing any videos of mine that you think are shareworthy. Cheers!
Amazing video as usual, and very relevant. I sent this video to all of my friends because I cant believe it only has 8,000 views. Can't wait for the next upload, stay classy!
In the past I have stayed in hotels that use ozone machines, to freshen rooms that may have been smoked in and to clean rooms that dont have windows that open. Factual science can't be denied. Great job!
I have an antique "violet wand" which produces HV coronal arcs. This has been a quack medical device for all those 100 years you're referencing. It's been used for "hysterical" women, phrenology, wart removal and other tasks.
Wow! I had heard about the lung damage from ozone too. So do you have an on/off switch for your "Corona" plate ozonizer? The fact that it is powered by batteries is more comforting since the power would be lower than a unit plugged into the wall I think? That is a great idea for sterilizing hands because I know a lot of people in my family that have sensitive hands and this would be less damaging to their hands! That was a great idea to come up with at this particular time. Thanks Jay! Do you have the "plans" for building that available? Thanks for releasing this video for us!
Hey Kathryn! Yeah, ozone is incredible, same for the capabilities of high voltage corona. It irritates me that no products exist like this. May need to sell my own version one day! Thanks so much for your continued support, and stay safe
Jay, you need to patent this! To wash your hands in 10 seconds without soap, water, or probable skin irritation is revolutionary! Think of how much money businesses could save, and how much money you can gain! Businesses no longer having to spend their money buying materials for washing and drying hands. There is real practical application in this, this needs to be a widely used method for sterilization.
This is a good idea, I think, and more people should be aware of it, as well as more proper studies should be made into it! I'm sometimes using UV-light sterilize stuff (I work with it), and there's another drawback with using UV-sterilization you didn't mention: UV-light that can be used for sterilization is also really bad for your skin and your eyes.
I can't help but wonder if killing EVERYTHING on the surface of one's hands turns out to be like antibiotics, where extensive use turns out to have negative effects. and are you sure that smell isn't petrichor?
@@PlasmaChannel Nothing beats the idea and portability of your device. At home I'm using a professional sterilizer UV+O3 for masks, keys & mobile phone. Portable O3 generator for the car when unoccupied & ventilate before use. What do you think about a simple small perspect/plastic box that opens like a briefcase with wrist space cut into the side with silicon lining attached to a small CPAP portable, rechargeable O3 generator? Do you think if the gas is good enough to disinfect oxygen device tubes or nebuliser tubes, it's sufficient to clean the hands with no contact, other that the wrist area?
Go Cougars! Awesome video and reminiscent of a headline I saw the other day of a portable, vacuum cleaner sized, ozone sterilizer. Pullman may not be the most exciting city in WA but you can't argue with the results.
Haha, Pullman was the most boring city I ever lived in. I liked Eugene much better (I am also a duck ha!). Thanks for the compliments on my viddy! And and Go Cougs!.....Ducks!.......Douks??
I agree, Eugene is a much livelier town and yes, we'll stick with Doucks. I'm a Sun Husky myself, but never got much into 'my school is superior to yours' because there are some pretty bright scientist at WSU and that is what matters most to me.
I have used ozone generators for two decades safely. It is an amazing way to clean out a very toxic house especially one infiltrated by black mold by closing all the windows turning the thing all the way up and leaving the house for two days stay with a friend or a hotel or something on the second day go in and turn that sucker off and open all the windows and set fans running. And then stay gone for another 24 hours while the fans are completely dissipating the residual ozone. This works incredibly. I've also used it inside the ears have consumed the water and have used ozonated olive oil and coconut oil to treat athlete's foot nail fungus and other skin conditions including psoriasis. When I was first experimenting I did get one time a very bad burning sensation in the back of my throat because I was uneducated at that point I had the thing running on high in a small bathroom and then I went into the bathroom to clean the walls and the toilet while the thing was running and even know that door was open such a small space I got too much concentration in my lungs. I've also had units that have a timer cycle that you can set it to run any number of seconds per minute for example, I used to have it running in the house at 20 seconds per each minute so it would turn on, run 20 seconds, and then turn off for 40 seconds. That worked well also but even then I would turn it off completely for weeks at a time just to keep the percentages correct for inhalation
Hi great video. I was wondering what's the best way to build an ozone generator for a small room. One that wouldn't involve any physical touching. Just something that would kill germs and remove strong odours by being left alone in a shut room. Also having it battery powered would be great. But more importantly something that is silent with no loud spark burst or risks of fire. Something that works quick and efficient. Thanks for all your work.
Very good. I agree with *what you said about the hand washing, my hands were getting so rough from all the washing. I have a water ozonator device that use coronal discharge, haven't used it in awhile. Might be time to bring it out.
I have an ozone sterilizer in my room and use it frequently. But it does harm any rubber that you have lying around. I left it on once for a few hours and when I came back, the runner strap of one of my watches was basically ruined. It was all slimy and sticky for some reason and it didn’t go away even after a few months. It would be interesting to see the science behind this!
In the brewing industry, some of us use ozonated water for sanitizing different process points - fermenters and filling machines are the most common. There are some challenges with using it post fermentation as it is a very powerful oxidizer (which can ruin the final product). We are very careful about not using the words "sanitize" and "sterilize" interchangeably as they do not mean the same thing.
Chris that’s really interesting to learn. Yeah I image too much would kill off your cultures, right? Ozone all kills molds, yeasts and fungus. Good point as well. They mean different things.
@@PlasmaChannel It certainly does have the potential to kill yeast cultures. Typically sanitizing with ozonated water is done at least an hour before yeast comes into contact with the sanitized surface. This gives enough time for the ozone to decay into ordinary oxygen, which then theoretically acts as a yeast nutrient.
Welcome to the Plasma fam bromigo! Thanks for the compliments. What in particular are you curious about? I have a link in the video description for a video on making the majority of the device
Very interesting J. I had no idea how ozone actually effected viruses and bacterium. Great video. I have to wonder if taking antioxidants while dealing with an infection would potentially be a bad idea.
Plasma Channel I really do appreciate this channel and what my son and I learn from it. When we are in a position to, we would like to donate to your patrion
I also suffer from a mild form of exema. I only wash my hands when necessary, and try to take no more than 2-3 showers a week, and when I do so, minimal use of soaps and shampoos is a must, or I get very dry and itchy skin. Something like this would be pretty amazing for folks like us who can't just go around washing themselves willy nilly with no concerns of repercussions. Since it eliminates bacteria, I'm curious as to how well it would work to reduce body odors.
I built a high output o3 generator a few years ago, and placed it in my bro's apartment, in an attempt to kill w/e kept making my neices and nephew really sick. With the kiddies out, of course. It worked. Hands down. So then I experimented on myself March of 2018 - small bedroom, window cracked, oscillating fan on high - just to see how irritating this stuff could be, I can bear 10 min at most with the amount mine puts out, and im an asthmatic. I completely get where you're coming from with the lung damage... however, I wasnt aware at the time that actual damage could occur. I fell asleep with it on, Thanksgiving eve, because I caught a bad cold or somethin, runny stuffy nose and shortness of breath.. mannn. When I woke up the next morning I was so miserable... my chest ached with deep breaths, my head ached, because I forgot to turn the generator off... but the sickness was gone and I could breathe, albeit with discomfort, but fighting viral intruders overnight was new for me! The following day, I felt great!! So then I researched more.. ah, temporary lung damage.. apparently the damage is to cells that are immediately replaced... Could be a longshot, but what if repeating that discomforting process could help someone recover, after taking a turn for the worse, amidst this pandemic?
UV around the 180nm wavelength produces large quantities of ozone whilst drawing as little as 8 watts of power. I'd be interested to see which is more effective per watt. I use a UV 183nm tube, within a few seconds the smell of ozone becomes very apparent. I bought it on the belief that it was a 254nm tube for direct line of sight disinfection. I do not have any way to test the wavelengths other than the large amount of ozone produced, which is very noticeable by smell alone, and suggests a wavelength below 200nm. It may produce wavelengths at both 254 and around 180. Which would disinfect in line of sight via UV damage to cells and also oxidative damage from ozone not reliant on line of sight. So far it's done a great job of sterilising my families n95 face masks to ensure multiple uses. To highlight, n95 masks must not be washed or rinsed in water or dry cleaned with alcohol due to its particle filtration being reliant on static charges within the fibres. Hence ozone or UV being a suitable way to keep them sterile after use. I would be very interested to see a comparison using a sub 200nm uv tube for sterilisation Vs the plasma generator. The fallback of the UV tube is that it is not safe to use on skin, even for short periods. So items to be sterilised need to either be in a closed room with no one in and then aerated or in a box or other suitably shielded container.
also , its not even light of sight either . because you can see through glass but most glass objects block uv. the uv lamps require a special kind of glass in order to even produce uv.
*** Please note, Ozone is toxic, though, only above a certain threshold. Majority of studies indicate that prolonged inhalation of Ozone is the vector of toxicity, not skin contact. This is not prolonged exposure ***

Copper door knobs already sterilize themselves. That's the entire point of copper.
There's a very important reason why this is never done. Ozone is toxic af. You can not use it willy nilly, like being demonstrated in the video, this is potentially very dangerous. At the very least, that machine needs a timer, to make sure nobody accidently leaves it on.
Eugene S not true. The concentrations that are dangerous, dangerous only to lung tissue, you can’t even inhale because your throat will close. Of course if you are stupid enough you can always find a way to harm yourself with lower concentrations over longer exposures.
For perspective, I have multiple machines that produce FAR greater ozone levels then this, that I use on the regular. And I do mean regular. I have worked around high levels of ozone for 16 years straight. Last doctor noted zero problems with my lungs, and I’m very healthy. As stated in the video, this device does not produce enough ozone in one use to cause harm. Otherwise, I’d have died 30 times over by now.
Tell me about it. I use rubbing alcohol to clean my glasses and wipe the oil off of my face and I can't find it anywhere. I also made up some concentrated hydrogen peroxide and realized I haven't got any fuel to mix it with cuz I was gonna just use 99% rubbing alcohol. The funny thing is, 70% works better for sterilization, but people still buy out all of the 99%. The only reason I buy 99% is because I can dilute it with sterile distilled water and make it 70% or 50% if need be.
@@outdoorflowsports HUH? I've done a good amount of research on ozone, I have yet to hear the idea that your throat will close before you breathe in toxic levels... Do you have a link to anything that proves this?? Because that just sounds silly.
How cool you are that you can even turn something boring like hand cleaning into some HV awsome thing
Gotta say, this guy is way ahead of the curve! Like light speed ahead. Taking complex difficult concepts and packaging them down to understandable ideas and facts. Great personality for these presentations too. Gotta love it
1:59 Hope you replaced that bloated capacitor.
Yeah, that sucker blew over a year ago - it's just a smoothing capacitor that isnt needed with my DC powersource.
Interesting concept and build! I would definitely go for this type of device - I hate washing my hands too often as it really dries them out and they start to crack.
Hey Nigel! If high enough electrical frequencies are used( like mine) it is also safe. I’m going look into the possibility of manufacturing a test run of these things, but more compact.
How does it feel? Is it tingly?
Hardly! It may not be as comfortable for someone with very thin skin though, such as a toddler, but I’d hope toddlers aren’t using these devices haha
it rubs the lotion on its skin
@@PlasmaChannel Go for it, this is something that Commercial and Consumer markets would eat up, especially right now. Have you looked into doing this in such a way that it still sterilized, but [any] other object makes the corona & therefor Ozone, instead of your hands? I believe many everyday people out there may not be comfortable with touching high voltage even if it is safe.
I've never considered this, this is extremely clever!
While I have already seen the previous build, this new concept of Ozone you presented is mind blowing. Awesome!
Wow, thanks!
If we could build these into door handles imagine what it could do
It could do 2 things:
1. It could sterilize all your visitors hands before they enter your home.
- And -
2. It could collect a bunch of people with pacemaker-implants in a large pile outside your door.
Aerox love the idea
This channel is so underrated hopefully RUclips reccomends this video to people
Thank you, I really appreciate that you know.
It's awesome, I've been planning to build this kind of device for a project and I found this amazing video. Anyway, can you make a video on how to create the portable high voltage high frequency supply that you use? It's gonna be very helpful 😊
Good correction with the catalase enzyme! H2O2 is naturally produced in cells so catalase is used to get rid of it before it can do damage.
Yeah I thought of this molecule is like the bullets in our immune cells' little guns.
Wait!! You went to WSU? I'm graduating from their in Electrical Engineering in 3 weeks!
Oh, so there are TWO jays now. There can only be room for one............... yes. GO COUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@PlasmaChannel Thank you that is awesome! What was your background with WSU and your education? I'm looking into graduate school here shortly.
Fellow Coug
This comment section was so gay
@@jhonx5323 🤣🤣🤣
I used ozone in my work for years, and you really thought out of the box in this project! That is a very different approach to the use of ozone in sterilization!
Wow, this is very interesting. A different look at Ozone for sure.
Thanks Linda. I hope you enjoyed
Ozone is a pretty useful chemical
Until you get greedy
Finally somebody presenting And discussing ozone that's not trying to sell me something. I haven't looked recently but I've looked in the past way before this virus fiasco about ozone and all I see are videos on "how our ozone product is the best on the market!".
Stig, I hear you. Thanks for seeing the value in my work.
Show a kid one of thees they will be playing with it for hours and there hands will be clean
I'm working in a daycare and I assure you nobody would fuss about having to wash their hands *again* (after picking their nose or something)
Dude I’ve been binge watching a lot of your videos I find them absolutely fascinating
UV-C radiation actually creates a ton of ozone. I have a 200W low pressure discharge mercury lamp system and after 30 minutes of running in a normal sized room it is practically impossible to breathe in the given room because of the high concentration of ozone.
Nooks and crannies! Line of sight something something
Last year I picked up an ozone generator from Amazon for $60. Its got the replaceable ceramic-style aquare plates. This thing puts out an insane amount of ozone immediately. This is geared more for industrial scale ozone remediation though. Would be good to do a re-test with hands only exposed to ozone for 10-15 secs maybe?
Jason,
I really want to thank you for a great Public Service Announcement (PSA).
You covered the issues, presented the topic, included the cautionary warnings, and provided links to more information.
A tip to improve future monetization, identify and present (without personal endorsement) systems that provide the service according to reliable sources.
Of course get their permission first, so they are willing to be advertised without remuneration for your support.
I know, that is the high wire acrobat routine for a RUclips channel. But some of us would actually go there and check it out.
Sincerely,
John
P.S. Great decor in the condo.
will you be doing a build video on this? Cool idea!
This is some amazeballs stuff! I always watch your videos because of the sparkly electrical stuff you always show off. It's nice to see the stuff I study at university in action! Thanks Jay, keep well!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanos in 2019: Iused the stones to destroy the stones
Thanos in 2020: I used corona to destroy corona
I work in a hospital, in the ICU. When everybody was freaking out about reusing supplies because of cross contamination, I suggested to my boss talking to directors above her about purchasing UVC lights, or anyting ozone generating to maybe sterilize masks for reuse.
The answer I got was, nope. Can't do it. No reason given, I guess in the corporate setting, the only thing that makes sense is whatever costs the most and doesn't benefit the employees.
FEMA Region 9 it’s a ridiculous pain suggesting ideas that cost money regardless of the benefit.
I’ve suggested sound dampening for my classroom, absolutely no action on it.
Big Pharma would never stand for it. Remember Dr Beggs 20 years suggested using ionizers to lower hospital infection rates. Remember what happened to him and his ideas?
ive been waiting for someone to do a video on this for a while. thank you very much for the informative dissemination of relevant fact and the undeniable study results.
quick note, not only is uv line of sight, it also causes cancer. this corona method is much safer. the suppression of which for the lsst 100+ years is nothing short of genocide markedly highlighted by the current covid pandemic and the fact that you were able to build this so cheaply.
if this technology were in invested in with the same ferocity as other more destructive technologies, the results could be utopian
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this video.
Suppression??? For what reason? Cheap sterilization is a much-sought-after technology in many fields. Also, Ozone's a pollutant and also toxic in high concentrations- which is why you wouldn't put it in a box to sterilize, say, goggles, because it'd end up building up and be a potential hazard to anyone opening said box.
@@thepetrarcticwar2778 the same reason cannabis as medicine was suppressed for the last 100 years. the ability to kill cancer is also much sought after by many people but cannabis is still federally considered to have no medical use
as far as "ozone in the box", fcking vent it. thats a silly reason not to use this tech
I have watched this video and the linked videos several times over, but there just is not enough information to recreate what you have going on without more expertise. Could you please consider posting a detailed tutorial? Amazon links aren't necessarily needed, but each specific part used, how each thing is assembled and why, how to check the quality of your work as you go, etc would be immensely helpful. This is a beautiful concept and has so many applications, but is also just so educational. Thank you!
You showed a normal uv light for the uv sterilization, it’s the clear tubes that clean stuff
It's just B-roll. Not very easy to buy a UVC light right now.
Retitle this video adding the word Corona and you got the next viral video.
The world is searching the net right now about Corona. The governments are wanting solutions.
You hit the nail hard on the head here bro.
Just call it a nail.
Much love and thank you as always Jay.
Hi Garett, thank you so much. I thought about adding corona to the title, but wanted the video to be timeless and not tied to one specific event. I wanted it about the general concept of cleaning hands. It would be great if it went viral - but I’m leaving that to the people to decide! If it’s shareworthy, I hope people share it!
@@PlasmaChannel so you purposefully called this corona killing corona machine. An instant sanitizer.
My brother you did the ultimate, you stayed classy.
No profiteering from pain to remain. I applaud you Jay.
A cut above the rest.
Who would’ve thought that the best counter to corona would be corona
Lots of really cool science here Jay!! Fantastic video! Thank you👍
Thanks TDG for watching!
High voltage... high voltage what now? Corona?
Nate
I used the corona to destroy the corona
i used to watch most of your videos plasma channel.i love your vids.
Oh, I had the same idea lately. Sad part is the shop that provided me with electronics is closed now :/. BTW, killing corona with corona.. LOL
HI Everybody. I was wondering if a plasma ball could be used to disable the corona virus inside the lungs simply by holding a plasma ball/tesla coil near the lung/chest area front and back as the field seems to exist quite a distance. Viruses are quite fragile and a strong em field could disable it's reproductive ability and the body could clear it like any other infection....
Not at all.. ozone is kinda toxic (even though its basically oxygen) also holding this kind of charge near palm is painless and not damaging but around the chest area? Don’t expect miracles.
It is one of best projects i have seen on youtube - thanks for making this video- I am fan of your technical skill - Three thumbs-up for you👍👍👍
Would this device induce a static charge on the body? I.e: increase static,
Hi Andrew, no it wouldnt. You need a DC powersource to do that. This is AC
@@PlasmaChannel another question wouldn't that device also produce high amounts of NO2 and therefore Nitric Acid?
Be sure to note that if you sterilize a key with a RF unlock/remote start you'll fry the transmitter
Doubt it, but it's possible
Actually, I took my RF / remote start off my chain prior to be safe. I didn't want to risk it.
Corona Arc: 1Corona Virus:0
Great video. From someone with a degree in both physics & chemistry, your science is spot on. I might add though, sterilisation with a UVC Ozone producing bulb of at least 20 watts will thoroughly clean a room. Set it on a timer to come on for 90 minutes during the night and the room is clean and ozone free by the morning. Never look at a UVC bulb when it’s switched on, leave the room and explain to your family exactly what it is.
Roger, I really appreciate that. Thanks for the comment. Funny thing, my degree is also in science, though it’s in Biology with a minor in physics.
Plasma Channel Epic one. 👍 from Wales 🏴.
Awesome!!
Since it is the ozone and not the corona itself, I'm assuming that it would still sanitize the parts of your hands the Sparks didn't actually touch?
Justin, great question. Yes, the ozone should sterilize between the fingers too, though I bet, not completely.
You deserve more subscribers because you clearly love the content you produce.
Hi Will, I appreciate that sentiment. I do love this type of science. It's what i'm passionate about and I really want to spread this passion through RUclips. You can help with the sub count by sharing any videos of mine that you think are shareworthy. Cheers!
I am using Hydrogen Peroxide and a 48g/per hour ozone generator that I made 4 months ago. Glad you confirmed the same.
Amazing video as usual, and very relevant. I sent this video to all of my friends because I cant believe it only has 8,000 views. Can't wait for the next upload, stay classy!
Venom, thanks so much for both your compliments, and for the share. Glad you enjoyed!
This is really important. One of your best
In the past I have stayed in hotels that use ozone machines, to freshen rooms that may have been smoked in and to clean rooms that dont have windows that open. Factual science can't be denied. Great job!
Cool idea. I really like your channel and just subscribed.
Very well done video. Ozone will have a resurgence and hopefully your creation will be huge!!!
Thank you Stephanie!
I have an antique "violet wand" which produces HV coronal arcs. This has been a quack medical device for all those 100 years you're referencing. It's been used for "hysterical" women, phrenology, wart removal and other tasks.
I love the daringer when you mention safety😂😂
Thats pretty cool with a little modification we can easily use it for sterilisation
Wow! I had heard about the lung damage from ozone too. So do you have an on/off switch for your "Corona" plate ozonizer? The fact that it is powered by batteries is more comforting since the power would be lower than a unit plugged into the wall I think? That is a great idea for sterilizing hands because I know a lot of people in my family that have sensitive hands and this would be less damaging to their hands! That was a great idea to come up with at this particular time. Thanks Jay! Do you have the "plans" for building that available? Thanks for releasing this video for us!
Hey Kathryn! Yeah, ozone is incredible, same for the capabilities of high voltage corona. It irritates me that no products exist like this. May need to sell my own version one day!
Thanks so much for your continued support, and stay safe
Your information and you both are so sweet.
HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS?? LIKE WHAT??
Jay, you need to patent this! To wash your hands in 10 seconds without soap, water, or probable skin irritation is revolutionary! Think of how much money businesses could save, and how much money you can gain! Businesses no longer having to spend their money buying materials for washing and drying hands. There is real practical application in this, this needs to be a widely used method for sterilization.
Great Idea now I am thinking how to create one for myself.
Ignore the CDC, they have lost all credibility
This is a good idea, I think, and more people should be aware of it, as well as more proper studies should be made into it!
I'm sometimes using UV-light sterilize stuff (I work with it), and there's another drawback with using UV-sterilization you didn't mention: UV-light that can be used for sterilization is also really bad for your skin and your eyes.
I can't help but wonder if killing EVERYTHING on the surface of one's hands turns out to be like antibiotics, where extensive use turns out to have negative effects.
and are you sure that smell isn't petrichor?
Yeah that could happen
These would be great for public bathrooms.
Brilliant. Been researching similar topic for a while now.
Thank you, I’m glad you appreciated the video
@@PlasmaChannel Nothing beats the idea and portability of your device.
At home I'm using a professional sterilizer UV+O3 for masks, keys & mobile phone.
Portable O3 generator for the car when unoccupied & ventilate before use.
What do you think about a simple small perspect/plastic box that opens like a briefcase with wrist space cut into the side with silicon lining attached to a small CPAP portable, rechargeable O3 generator?
Do you think if the gas is good enough to disinfect oxygen device tubes or nebuliser tubes, it's sufficient to clean the hands with no contact, other that the wrist area?
Go Cougars! Awesome video and reminiscent of a headline I saw the other day of a portable, vacuum cleaner sized, ozone sterilizer. Pullman may not be the most exciting city in WA but you can't argue with the results.
Haha, Pullman was the most boring city I ever lived in. I liked Eugene much better (I am also a duck ha!). Thanks for the compliments on my viddy! And and Go Cougs!.....Ducks!.......Douks??
I agree, Eugene is a much livelier town and yes, we'll stick with Doucks. I'm a Sun Husky myself, but never got much into 'my school is superior to yours' because there are some pretty bright scientist at WSU and that is what matters most to me.
Awesome.. very subdued compared to other videos but so cool.. now I want to build one for my house.
how have i never learned the word Triplicates before !
I have used ozone generators for two decades safely. It is an amazing way to clean out a very toxic house especially one infiltrated by black mold by closing all the windows turning the thing all the way up and leaving the house for two days stay with a friend or a hotel or something on the second day go in and turn that sucker off and open all the windows and set fans running. And then stay gone for another 24 hours while the fans are completely dissipating the residual ozone. This works incredibly. I've also used it inside the ears have consumed the water and have used ozonated olive oil and coconut oil to treat athlete's foot nail fungus and other skin conditions including psoriasis. When I was first experimenting I did get one time a very bad burning sensation in the back of my throat because I was uneducated at that point I had the thing running on high in a small bathroom and then I went into the bathroom to clean the walls and the toilet while the thing was running and even know that door was open such a small space I got too much concentration in my lungs. I've also had units that have a timer cycle that you can set it to run any number of seconds per minute for example, I used to have it running in the house at 20 seconds per each minute so it would turn on, run 20 seconds, and then turn off for 40 seconds. That worked well also but even then I would turn it off completely for weeks at a time just to keep the percentages correct for inhalation
Hi great video.
I was wondering what's the best way to build an ozone generator for a small room. One that wouldn't involve any physical touching. Just something that would kill germs and remove strong odours by being left alone in a shut room. Also having it battery powered would be great. But more importantly something that is silent with no loud spark burst or risks of fire. Something that works quick and efficient.
Thanks for all your work.
Pretty cool ! You have proved your point well ! Thanks a lot for this video !
It makes me remember the Killian device, used to produce photos of the body auras (sic)!
normally your channel is just quite an entertaining and learning experience for myself but now I do believe I will be building this device
Thanks Alvin. Just be careful....if you build, use a low current power supply. Dont deal with high voltages that carry more than 5mA, be safe!
Surprised Raymond Rife hasn't made an appearance. Most famous Plasma Unit ever...
Very good. I agree with *what you said about the hand washing, my hands were getting so rough from all the washing. I have a water ozonator device that use coronal discharge, haven't used it in awhile. Might be time to bring it out.
well done and thank you for giving us information for killing those bad bacteria
I have an ozone sterilizer in my room and use it frequently. But it does harm any rubber that you have lying around. I left it on once for a few hours and when I came back, the runner strap of one of my watches was basically ruined. It was all slimy and sticky for some reason and it didn’t go away even after a few months. It would be interesting to see the science behind this!
In the brewing industry, some of us use ozonated water for sanitizing different process points - fermenters and filling machines are the most common.
There are some challenges with using it post fermentation as it is a very powerful oxidizer (which can ruin the final product).
We are very careful about not using the words "sanitize" and "sterilize" interchangeably as they do not mean the same thing.
Chris that’s really interesting to learn. Yeah I image too much would kill off your cultures, right? Ozone all kills molds, yeasts and fungus.
Good point as well. They mean different things.
@@PlasmaChannel It certainly does have the potential to kill yeast cultures. Typically sanitizing with ozonated water is done at least an hour before yeast comes into contact with the sanitized surface. This gives enough time for the ozone to decay into ordinary oxygen, which then theoretically acts as a yeast nutrient.
Amazing, thank you for your work
Your channel is cool man . I'm glad I found it..
hey bro, I don't think you have enough pairs of sunglasses, I recommend getting at least another 3 pairs
This bro dude is actually a mad scientist, lol. Super cool apparatus, good results, can you show more of the machine? Looks awesome.
Welcome to the Plasma fam bromigo! Thanks for the compliments. What in particular are you curious about? I have a link in the video description for a video on making the majority of the device
Plasma Channel lol just more of the plasma itself just looks so cool, is it on both sides of that glass panel?
Yeah, DEFINITELY check out that link then
Thanks Jay
Very interesting J. I had no idea how ozone actually effected viruses and bacterium. Great video. I have to wonder if taking antioxidants while dealing with an infection would potentially be a bad idea.
Thanks Paul. Appreciate your support
Plasma Channel I really do appreciate this channel and what my son and I learn from it. When we are in a position to, we would like to donate to your patrion
I also suffer from a mild form of exema. I only wash my hands when necessary, and try to take no more than 2-3 showers a week, and when I do so, minimal use of soaps and shampoos is a must, or I get very dry and itchy skin. Something like this would be pretty amazing for folks like us who can't just go around washing themselves willy nilly with no concerns of repercussions. Since it eliminates bacteria, I'm curious as to how well it would work to reduce body odors.
Hey I would like to know what components you used to build the ozone sanitizer
is Ozone heavier than air? what if your Ozone Scanner bottom half is a bowl?
Does this also produce nitrogen dioxide? And if it does would the NO2 also help with treating the bacteria and virus?
It produces a very small amount. However, NO2 is 1.5 times denser than air, so it falls to the ground in time, and has a really short half-life.
Lol you said Oxidation then reduce a few seconds after! Awesome, I love it.
Glad you caught that ;P
Inside joke?
@@grabasandwich Chemistry lingo. Remember OIL RIG: Oxidation Is Losing, Reduction Is Gaining. Referring to electrons
Thanks, man! It was a good scientific research based video showing some cool plasma stuff.
Glad you liked it, thank you so much
I built a high output o3 generator a few years ago, and placed it in my bro's apartment, in an attempt to kill w/e kept making my neices and nephew really sick. With the kiddies out, of course.
It worked. Hands down.
So then I experimented on myself March of 2018 - small bedroom, window cracked, oscillating fan on high - just to see how irritating this stuff could be, I can bear 10 min at most with the amount mine puts out, and im an asthmatic. I completely get where you're coming from with the lung damage... however, I wasnt aware at the time that actual damage could occur.
I fell asleep with it on, Thanksgiving eve, because I caught a bad cold or somethin, runny stuffy nose and shortness of breath.. mannn.
When I woke up the next morning I was so miserable... my chest ached with deep breaths, my head ached, because I forgot to turn the generator off... but the sickness was gone and I could breathe, albeit with discomfort, but fighting viral intruders overnight was new for me! The following day, I felt great!!
So then I researched more.. ah, temporary lung damage.. apparently the damage is to cells that are immediately replaced...
Could be a longshot, but what if repeating that discomforting process could help someone recover, after taking a turn for the worse, amidst this pandemic?
Really great work man!👍
UV around the 180nm wavelength produces large quantities of ozone whilst drawing as little as 8 watts of power. I'd be interested to see which is more effective per watt.
I use a UV 183nm tube, within a few seconds the smell of ozone becomes very apparent. I bought it on the belief that it was a 254nm tube for direct line of sight disinfection.
I do not have any way to test the wavelengths other than the large amount of ozone produced, which is very noticeable by smell alone, and suggests a wavelength below 200nm.
It may produce wavelengths at both 254 and around 180. Which would disinfect in line of sight via UV damage to cells and also oxidative damage from ozone not reliant on line of sight.
So far it's done a great job of sterilising my families n95 face masks to ensure multiple uses. To highlight, n95 masks must not be washed or rinsed in water or dry cleaned with alcohol due to its particle filtration being reliant on static charges within the fibres. Hence ozone or UV being a suitable way to keep them sterile after use.
I would be very interested to see a comparison using a sub 200nm uv tube for sterilisation Vs the plasma generator. The fallback of the UV tube is that it is not safe to use on skin, even for short periods. So items to be sterilised need to either be in a closed room with no one in and then aerated or in a box or other suitably shielded container.
You forgot to mention that UV light causes cancer and severe burns.
AMAZING video though. I loved the petri dish test!
Now this seems like a good idea. I like it.
also , its not even light of sight either .
because you can see through glass but most glass objects block uv.
the uv lamps require a special kind of glass in order to even produce uv.
This is a freaking good experiment my friend! 👍👍👍👊👊👊
thank you for your effort Your haircuts are very good
