Not ALL negative ion generators are radioactive!

It appears that we've gone back 100 years to the era that radioactive products are being openly sold on eBay and Amazon as "health" devices.
Justin at YouTube channel The Thought Emporium has investigated these devices and his video linked below is well worth watching and quite frankly jaw-dropping with regards to what is being sold online.
However, I'd just like to point out that traditional electronic ionisers are NOT radioactive. To celebrate this I decided to take a vintage negative ion generator apart and reverse engineer it.

Here's a link to Justin's squirmy video:-

Keep an eye open for people who may be wearing these things or who might be the type to buy them and spread the word.

The electronic ionisers work by generating a high negative voltage with respect to ground and applying it to sharp points, either needles or carbon fibre bundles. The air at the tips of the needles is charged with extra electrons and this causes airborne impurities to be attracted to adjacent grounded surfaces. They use very little power to passively precipitate airborne impurities out of the air. Often less than the power indicator neon.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
