Ramsey IG7 Ion Generator Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this kit for paranormal research, more on a whim than anything, just to try it out. It actually turned out to be a pretty amazing little gadget that works really well-much better than anticipated. It will blow out a cigarette lighter from about 4 inches away, it's so powerful, and you can smell the ozone (that "clean" smell) that it generates immediately upon plugging it in.
It DOES NOT come with a power supply (which it doesn't say in the description), but any 12 volt 500ma or so power supply with a 2.1mm male plug will work just fine.
It's a little tricky to solder the tubes and nails if you are a beginner and don't have much experience soldering. I would definitely recommend using a small butane torch or something similar, as a soldering iron will never get the copper tubes hot enough. I have a 140 watt soldering gun, and it took forever to heat up the copper tubes. Ended up using a small torch, and it worked like a charm.
The tubes are just Nibco 1/2" copper pipe couplings, just like you would buy at any hardware store, and the nails are exactly that, just small nails, that will need to be sharpened really well before soldering them onto the board. Once those are assembled, there are only a few basic solder joints to complete-one resistor, one LED, the female power jack and a few wires that need to be soldered in place. Then everything screws in place onto the larger IC board, and the kit is complete.
If you are going to handle this kit much, as I do for paranormal investigations, I would DEFINITELY recommend mounting it in a project box or something similar, since it does generate VERY high voltages, and you wouldn't want to accidentally touch the wires coming out of the high voltage power supply. I bought one from Radio Shack that it fits into perfectly, although I drilled lots of holes in it to allow for the air flow, and cut the one end out of the box and replaced it with rabbit wire to allow the ions sufficient room to flow out of the box. Anyway, it's much safer in the box, as there's no chance of touching anything electrical, especially when using it in complete darkness as I do, or around children.
All in all this is a pretty good little kit, and assembly is not that difficult; just be sure to follow the instructions when soldering the tubes and nails into place, and, as i said, use something that will be hot enough to solder copper pipe, and you shouldn't have any problems.

This nifty kit includes a pre-made high voltage ion generator potted for your protection, and probably the best one available for the price. It also includes a neat experiment called an "ion wind generator". This generator works great for pollution removal in small areas (Imagine after Grandpa gets done in the bathroom!), and moves the air through the filter simply by the force of ion repulsion! No fan blades, no noise, just swiftly moving, charged air. Learn how modern spacecraft use ions to accelerate through space. Use the Ion Generator to pump your VanDeGraff generator to a faster charge time, and generate negative ions for health and healing! Includes ion power supply, 7 ion wind tubes, and mounting hardware for the ion wind generator. (Caution...do not grab the output of the transformer, all the ions may be sucked out of your body! And don't you just hate it when that happens!)
