This project is designed to be used with the cheap ioniser style power supplies on eBay, and will convert them to a mini "ionic breeze" type unit that blows a gentle draught of air out the front with active components that have beneficial effects in some indoor environments.
I made a video about ozone that explains more:-

Here are links to the PCB zipped gerber files. You'll probably have to copy and paste the links into your browser. YouTube might block links to zip files for security reasons.
It's two separate designs because the corners are rounded and PCB makers may not like two different PCBs being submitted as a single panel.
The main needle holding panel:-

The front plate with different text:-

I've since tested this module with mains voltage ioniser modules, and the differing module sizes give different levels of ozone output. If using the mains voltage modules I recommend using two 1 Megohm resistors in series with each wire for safety. Preferably 1/2W or 1W resistors for their higher voltage rating. It works very well with the 12V module I showed, which is effectively an ozone generator already with its two opposite polarity carbon fibre emitters. When used with this panel much more ozone is generated.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm
This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

"If the babies get a shock, it serves them right" I forgot how much I love watching this channel
-
"If the babies get a shock, it serves them right!" I can see that on the back of a t-shirt, with the Big Clive logo on the front where little t-shirt logos go.
-
If baby gets a shock serves them right... My hero.
-
Fun fact: the URL code for this video starts with "ion". Well played Clive, well played indeed.
-
The actual Russian item might just go for brute force ionization: a square centimeter swath of very pure polonium-210.
-
I wonder if your PCB supplier would blink at running a batch of "Clive's Patented Mk. 2 Type C Baby Zapper" boards.
-
Good to see you are a fan of Garage54 Clive!
-
As a child I used to "mess with electricity" and had quite a few shocks, now 76, have I learnt, well sort of but still get the odd one. Great listening to you Clive, you are my go to YouTube relaxer, and information about electronics provider.
-
the most known russian nuclear "corporation" should be Rosatom. And I agree, the silk layer would be much more cold warish with cyrillic letters. Like this project very much

Sewing pins anneal/lose their hardness if you give them a couple of seconds in e.g. a cigarette lighter flame and let them cool. Makes them much easier to cut without wrecking sidecutters.

"Standard" sewing pins and needles are generally regular steel plated with chromium or nickel, in my experience. They're somewhat resistant to rusting unless the coating is broken. If there's, say, a scratch, and the item is in a damp environment, you get rapid corrosion at the scratch. The entire plated area acts as a cathode, and the exposed steel is an anode; there's an electrochemical effect. You can test this by nicking a pin or a needle with a file, and placing it on a bit of tissue that's been dampened with salty water. If the pin or needle hasn't been plated at all, but is entirely non-stainless steel, doing that will tend to show corrosion preferentially where the metal has been most mechanically disturbed, i.e. the pin heads and points. The metal crystals there are most distorted from their lowest energy states, so it's energetically favourable for those atoms to escape in preference to atoms in other parts of the items. Stainless pins and needles are findable, but I've found that many that are labelled/advertised as "stainless" are in fact just regular plated steel. The sellers are counting on people not bothering to check, or not finding it worth the trouble of complaining. The reason for using stainless, of course, is that one wouldn't get corrosion even if the surface is scratched.

9:53 - "I'm gonna grab a high voltage supply. Probably a low voltage one." I know what you meant, but this confused me for a split second.
-
Just a comment to show appreciation for Clive always warning us before turning the lights back on, I'm light sensitive this allows me to actually close my eyes for a few seconds before, unless you have it you have no idea how bright lights effect migraines and nausea even when its just a quick flash.
-
As a child I loved touching our ioniser, watching the arc jumping to my finger was fascinating. My lesson came later in life, accidentally touching the ac socket of an unplugged audio amplifier. It's not the kind of thing you want to feel twice.
-
Worth adding solder to create a smooth ball or a dome over where you cropped the needle holders on the back, all sharp points are ' Point Emitters ' and this might effect the efficiency, it certainly does in sensitive High Voltage equipment used in the Analytical Science world and the ' Balling ' of high voltage solder joints is a must....cheers.

Nice to see the ozone generator proving its working. The PM2.5 drops as the O3 goes up. Good demo
-
The spelling mistake adds to the authenticity of what I would expect from the Russian Nuclear Corporation selling their wares to the west. If you write an instruction manual, you need to be sure and add even more mistakes 😁 🍺
-
Hahaha! Thank you Clive. I love that you watch Garage 54! Hello fellas!
-
In 1964 I built an ion helicopter after seeing it in popular mechanics as a glimpse of the future. It was too heavy to take off, but it did make a lot of wind.
-
Thanks for the ozone test, much appreciated. After looking at more of these in the future it will really help give a visual just how much some of these pump out.
