Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Dear Saul, Sorry for my confusion but, I have been reading the posts that say that the Alpine generates nitric oxide. You have mentioned that the Alpine units use corona discharge with room air and produce nitric oxide. I have read some on the Aranizer website and cannot find any information as to how their ozone is generated from the room air. I think on one site it is referred to as Aranizer corona unit. I think I also read that you thought that both machines used corona discharge. Do you know how the Aranizer ozone is generated, and why it doesn't produce nitric oxide. I would imagine that the Alpine unit produces some compound with nitrogen since a large percentage of room air contains nitrogen as opposed to oxygen. How does the Aranizer get around this problem without using 100% oxygen?? Thanks in advance!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Dear Carol, That is the $64 question! They use a patented ceramic element. The patent dates back to about 1967 I think. Due to this unique element, somehow the unit does not react with nitrogen. I am very sensitive to nitric oxide and can not be in the room with an Alpine unit for more than ten minutes without getting a headache. Yet, my Aranizer runs 24/7, albeit in a closet with door open, but I pass that closet many times in a day, and I never get a headache from its output. Actually, we made a cold plasma air unit in 1993, and ran it for two years into the cold air return of the forced air furnace, so that the whole house had ozone distributed. That didn't result in headaches, either. So, possibly the ceramic element in the Aranizer is acting electrostatically, rather than as a straight corona discharge. That would be my best guess.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Carol and group, I have had some dealings and conversations with Ted, the owner of Aranizer. I think he's a con artist. The only nitric output test on the aranizers was done around 30 years ago. That's right...the only one. On two separate occasions, I asked Ted for the documentation from that test and both times he said he'd send it but didn't. He refuses to even admit that his units output ozone. He wants to call it aran. Russ of sota instruments took apart an aranizer and says that he can find " nothing unusual " to account for their claims. All Air based ozonators put out different levels of pollutants, some more , some less. UV ozonators are the only ones that approach zero, but their output is low. I doubt if Aranizers are unique, and I wouldn't trust the company to tell the truth anyway. regards > >Dear Scahtzi, > > > >When it hits the moisture in the lungs and turns > >into nitric acid. > > > >Best of Health! > >Dr. Saul Pressman, DCh, LTOH > ><http://www.plasmafire.com>http://www.plasmafire.com > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Interesting information. After sending my message out to Saul and the group, I found this site: http://www.air-zone.com/xtpower.html This site talks about a " Draeger gas measuring meter " being used to measure nitrogen gases that come off their particular ozone generator. If you go out on Google, you can find many sites that advertise for Draeger meters for measurement of particular gases: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8 & q=draeger+gas+meter Then I just looked for the company, Draeger, and found on their site an entry for nitric oxide or nitrous gases: http://voice.draeger.com/voice/owa/vn_deta?S=360 & C=73 & L=1 & T=nitric%20oxide You can search further, and find the exact item that is a portable unit that measure these nitrous gases: http://voice.draeger.com/voice/owa/vn_mdet?S=360 & P=6408 & C=73 & L=1 & K=4 & T=nitric%20\ oxide Here is another company that says they have instruments to detect nitric oxide: http://www.thermo.com/eThermo/CDA/Products/Product_Detail/1,1075,16185-101,00.ht\ ml That Thermo company had some other units that were not portable, but the portable one is priced on that page at around $1700, so it is out of my price range. Anyway, for either Alpine or Aranizer, (or other ozone generator companies using room air) I am wondering if either company can say that they have used a gas measuring device (and which one) in order to determine the content of the output regarding any nitrogen compounds.
