Re: Teslas enjoyment of ozone.



Original poster: "Terry Fritz" <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>

Hi Dan,

Ozone and a long list of other odd NOx componds are produced by Tesla
coils.  A few coilers have had to go to the hospital from over exposure.
Breathing the fumes can be pretty bad over a time with high concentrations.
 A vent fan should be used if the "ozone" gets bad.

Of course in Tesla's time 100 years ago, all sorts of fun x-rays, nuclear
things and ozone were not seen as they are today.  I am sure Tesla new
about what level of ozone was resonable since he probably had breathed too
much himself on occasion and had a good idea of how much is too much.

It does not build up but can casue permanant lung damage which is just as
bad.  It is not a big concern to most coilers since we like the smell but
we vent the place out too if it gets to be too much.

Cheers,

	Terry
