SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of generating ozone (O3) from oxygen (O2) using a high voltage device for enhancing the performance of a gas engine, specifically a Mustang. Users concluded that while ozone can theoretically be produced, it is impractical for engine performance enhancement due to the need to crack ozone back into diatomic and monatomic oxygen before it can be utilized. Additionally, cold air induction systems already provide sufficient diatomic oxygen for combustion, making ozone unnecessary for this application.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ozone generation processes
  • Knowledge of gas engine performance enhancement techniques
  • Familiarity with cold air induction systems
  • Basic principles of high voltage electrical systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research ozone generation methods and their applications
  • Explore alternative gas engine performance enhancement techniques
  • Learn about the chemistry of ozone and its breakdown products
  • Investigate the effectiveness of cold air induction systems in increasing engine power
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, automotive enthusiasts, and anyone interested in optimizing gas engine performance without the use of turbochargers or superchargers.

Making Ozone, (O3) HOW TO DO THIS??

I have heard that ozone can be made if Air is put through a high voltage box, making the O2, attract additional oxegen creating O3.. Is this a simple or complicated process... Deos anyone know a way to get this idea to work... IT is for a project with an Gas Engine ( Mustang) We are trying to get more power to the motor by getting more oxegen in without the use if Turbo or supercharger, currently we are using a ram air cold air induction system ... Please help if you have an ideas it would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance!

Sorry doesn't work that way. Even if you had a large supply of ozone, you'd have to crack it before it got to the engien which would result in giving you monatomic oxygen and diatomic oxygen. In either event you'd get more diatomic oxygen from cold air induction anyhow so there is no point in messing with ozone.
