    Wow, this was a really cool video. Thanks.

    Sounds like a Fender Rhodes with the guitar, Strat ? Definitely not a Les Paul.

    I totally forgot about how we used to get static from those old color t.v.'s.

    Thanks!

    I worked on copiers in the late 80s. The corona wire that charged the drum would create ozone. I can remember the smell, didn't like it then and still don't.

    You have a great ozone detector right there in you… it's your nose. xD We have a weird ability to smell ozone in tiny quantities, for some people it's as low as 0.05 ppm.
    Related, you know that smell that comes up with summer rains? It's mainly ozone, mixed with other volatile components.

    Hah nice qa on the spelling on the detectOR – monderate instead of moderate!

    Old laser printers were quite bad – I used to work in an office with a DEC LN03 and that thing could make your eyes sting.

    It would be interesting to try the ozone detector on a dedicated ionizer. Then on the Jacob's ladder!

    What would cause the loud popping noises from a CRT tv when it was turned off?

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bedeekin says:

    I can definitely smell ozone when I’ve been touching the plasma ball… not when it’s at rest; If ozone is what I can smell close to an ionic air purifier. Try sniffing it. Lol
