Minor sparking doesn't really pose a health risk and the level of ozone

produced is unlikely to pose a hazard either. In fact a small

concentration of ozone will actually help sterilise the air in the room.

The effect of UV exposure in significant levels is a slight sunburn

effect on the skin and in the case of the eyes a feeling of having sand

in your eyes will occur some hours after the exposure.

The sparking does indicate that some energy is being wasted and this

could be improved by the use of a thyristor being used to pulse the

current through the coil.

Right and where do you think these philipinos are gonig to find a thyristor.

they are using a pipe to switch becaues there are no materials available. LoL

The big transformer and high current diodes suggest that there is access

to high current electronic components.
