Hi Roy,
 EH> _Patient_ person's needs you mean.  There are slower things

 Aint that the truth..
 RJT> That depends...
 RJT> When I was a kid I did some "chemistry experiments",  and one of those
 RJT> was electrolysis.  Used a couple of carbon rods pulled out of old D
 RJT> cell batteries for electrodes. 
 RJT> I wasn't real sure that things were working when I tried this setup
 RJT> with some batteries,  I think I had maybe 3 volts across it or
 RJT> something,  though after a while I did see a microscopic bubble or
 RJT> two. 
 I did the same thing many years back with a battery and inverted
 test tubes in an electrolyte;  the experiment promised hydrogen
 form one pole and oxygen from the other.  I never did get enough
 "gas" to even test with a match...:(
 RJT> So I got myself a line cord,  and a "selenium rectifier" that I had

 RJT> You should have seen how quickly it got a whole test tube full of gas!
   
 RJT> I had to keep adding water,  and of course the concentration of the

 I think you were getting more steam than "gas" out of that setup.  What
 you're describing here is actually a classic steam vaporizer that you can
 buy at the corner drug store, sans rectifier of course!
 Now if you want to create some ozone, you can create a bunch of it
 using a 12KV or 15KV neon sign transformer and a home made glass-
 plate capacitor.
... I'd rather be running my Tesla coil.
