Has anyone ever heard these?

Sure go for it if you want to sit in a room with tweeters that generate ozone gas while operating.

[thadman]

Im pretty sure the levels it produce are considered negligible for practical purposes... i may be wrong

Those stupid "ionic air purifiers" dump more ozone I would imagine.

So these would have pure highs AND clean the air in your room?

I seriously doubt it, they aren't running high enough voltages to create flames.

Was it Nelson Pass who ended up in the hospital after showing these at a CES in the 80's?

ahhahha :rofl:

[cotdt]

would wearing gas masks solve the problem?

would wearing gas masks solve the problem?

pre treat the room with aerosol spray

i love the pic that looks into the belly of the beast
even better is the statement that its certified to comply w/ the fcc for a period of three years ... year four your hair falls out 8O

Here is a stupid question....if we have the technology to make ozone creating products, then why aren't we replenishing our ozone? Does the technology not create enough?

[cjd]

Ozone doesn't work that way.

We have freezers, why can't we just cool things down a little bit?

:P

I was kidding about the ionic air things - those kick enough ozone into a house to cause problems for an asthmatic. I can't imagine these tweeter things. Though they sure are interesting.

Hmmm, I think I know what happened to the first flux capacitors DR. Brown build........

They seriously look like some random piece of equipment I'd find at my college's 70's era physics labs, thats righteous. I want to use them in the dark.
