What is the benefit and is there any harm from Chizhevsky’s chandelier

The Chizhevsky chandelier (also known as a corona charge ionizer) came into use in the forties of the last century. This is a metal frame with a wire mesh to which electrodes are connected. Chandelier saturates the surrounding air with negatively charged ions and, according to the creator, helps the body fight diseases. But does she cause harm? Whether there is a side effects? Let's try to figure it out.

The benefits of Chizhevsky's chandelier

Unproven. How did this happen? The fact is that the biophysicist-inventor wrote a Ph.D. thesis in which he presented the invention and cited the results of a number of experiments on humans and animals.

It would seem that everything is wonderful. But experiments were carried out with errors and do not meet the criteria for scientific research. At one time, such prominent scientists as A. Ioffe and B. Zavadovsky criticized it, and Timiryazev publicly dubbed the entire dissertation “nonsense.”

Since those distant times no official study has ever been conducted like this, and the chandelier itself “went” to the broad masses surrounded legends and myths. Some considered it a universal savior, which almost cures cancer at the last stage, while others believed that it causes a lot of diseases at the genetic level.

If we collect all the reviews, then for the most part it helps with treatment:

  • bronchitis, laryngitis, otitis;
  • initial stage of tuberculosis;
  • whooping cough;
  • neurosis;
  • relieves asthma and allergy attacks.

Also, according to reviews, she facilitates the treatment of infectious diseases, accelerates the healing of burns and wounds.

Users noted and other improvements:

  • efficiency increases;
  • immunity is strengthened;
  • it becomes easier to breathe, asthma attacks become less frequent;
  • mood improves.

It's all quite subjective criteria, it’s not a fact that all the improvements are not caused simply placebo effect – No double-blind studies have been conducted.

In what undeniable and scientifically proven benefits of a chandelier? IN disinfection air. Clean air indeed improves oxygen absorption, reduces the risk of strokes and heart attacks, and improves performance.

By the way, ionized air also has therapeutic effect – calms and creates the illusion that somewhere nearby there is a lake, river or waterfall.

Harm of Chizhevsky's chandelier

In fact, the same unproven. Often using a chandelier is compared to ventilating a room. It would be strange if ventilation aggravated chronic diseases.

However, according to the same reviews, side effects The ionizer sometimes has:

  • problems with the functioning of the lungs begin - wheezing and coughing;
  • your head starts to hurt;
  • heart rhythm is lost;
  • increased fatigue (due to additional stress on the body).

At the end of the 20th century The Ministry of Health even released a separate list of diseases, in which the use of a chandelier is strictly not recommended:

  • exhaustion of the body (a long illness, a period of rehabilitation, a strict diet - all this “undermines” the body’s strength, so air saturated with ions will not help an exhausted body, but it can aggravate the symptoms);
  • bronchial asthma (even in its infancy);
  • heart failure of all types;
  • atherosclerosis;
  • chronic rhinitis (more precisely, one of its forms is ozena).

Of course there will be no pronounced negative effect from the use of the chandelier. As well as pronounced positive.Chizhevsky chandelier

Chizhevsky chandelier, like any other ionizer, can only act as maintenance therapy for the body. It can be placed for some time in offices, bedrooms, classrooms - so it will be useful. However, you shouldn’t rely only on it.

No ionizer is a panacea. If you want good health, adhere to a healthy lifestyle, do not skip medical examinations and do not forget about moderate physical activity during the day.

Many years ago, having become interested in the Chizhevsky Chandelier, I was lucky enough to ask questions, talk with a person who had once worked with Chizhevsky, he shared his knowledge on this issue without any benefit for himself, and promoted Chizhevsky’s ideas on ionizers. Many people are now making these devices for sale without really understanding how the device works and its nuances. One of the main things in a device is a properly made chandelier itself, and they, as a rule, are made simply crazy.How many of them I have seen, it seems that producers are only interested in spending less and getting money for the name. Most of these devices are unfortunately useless, or even harmful. I consider a properly made device useful; it does not exclude ventilation. The device must operate cyclically, with a certain operating and pause time, depending on the use of the room, its size, density and intensity of emission of air ions by the device.

The benefits of Chizhevsky's chandelier are necessary to such an extent that FOES begin to rattle about the harm from Chizhevsky's chandelier.
OZONIZED air is useful, like SALT and SUGAR, if not ABUSED, and the INFORMATIONAL IMPACT ON THE RF will not be stopped by the enemies.

There should be no corona discharge in the chandelier, i.e. gas ionization. The flow of electrons and the formation of efluvium - mountain air. Tested, it works, there should be no ozone odors!

Good day, Alexander! I am also called. Alexander S. My comment is above yours. The Chizhevsky aeronizer is not an ozonizer. And if it emits ozone, it means it was not made correctly; if it does emit it, then there should be very, very little of it, and ventilation is mandatory. I am a radio electronics specialist and made the first air ionizer in 1990. Although, to make an air ionizer, you don’t have to be a great specialist. Usually this is a generator with a voltage multiplier up to 25÷35 thousand Volts. For an apartment, the optimal voltage is 30 kV, with a drain current of 6 ÷ 10 mA.
The main reason for the formation of ozone is an improperly made chandelier. If the electrical part is not made correctly, ozone can form in the device body, and the device can be completely useless. However, as well as the incorrect execution of the chandelier. I would like to add that if aeroionizers work with less voltage and simple or incorrect chandeliers, then I think they help, but only purely psychologically.

Chizhevsky’s design works, it has long been proven, the topic is not for amateurs, it is not profitable for official medicine

Negative oxygen ions are the vitamins of air. This is the body's antioxidant defense against free radicals. A properly designed chandelier should not produce ozone, and the voltage should be at least 20 kV. The main problem with proper use is dust in the air. Mechanical particles in the air, having become very electrified, can even burn out the alveoli of the lungs.
Therefore, when trying to improve health using the body’s antioxidant defenses, I believe the safest and most effective way is to drink hydrogen water. Or it is necessary to create a special room in which there is no dust.
In experiments with the recovery of miners, Chizhevsky placed people in a special laboratory strictly under a chandelier and, in my opinion, on a grounded metal floor.

Of course there are benefits! After the installation, all the neighbors moved out, my salary was increased, I forgot about hemorrhoids and in general everything was fine!

chandeliers produced after perestroika have low power, so they produce few air ions, they were afraid that buyers would be hit by high voltage, the effect is much lower and hardly noticeable, but there is, people felt the effect of Chizhevsky’s own chandelier without any evidence. By the way, there is another side effect from the chandelier, make me laugh, but nevertheless, when it works, all sorts of spirits, drummers and so on leave the room, it has been tested, apparently the electrical charges flowing from the chandelier have a destructive effect on their subtle structures.

2 Chizhevsky chandeliers worked in intensive care wards for 10 years. The composition of the patients was super-diverse: sepsis, osteomyelitis, peritonitis, tuberculosis, ... in general, an infectious flower bed (both moles and nosocomial infection). During this time, there was not a single case of cross-infection, and “ventilator-associated” pneumonia was observed extremely rarely. In general, the chandeliers and light unipolar aeroions did their job honestly and effectively. Side effect: dust was driven into the walls, making it difficult for the sisters to clean! But a chandelier cannot produce ozone even in principle!

Alexey Sh. Let me disagree with you about ozone. If, of course, you buy any kind of chandelier (the majority of them are now) that are made so that there is no liability to the buyer, such chandeliers really cannot produce ozone, because they cannot provide anything at all, i.e. one name. I made real “Chizhevsky Chandeliers”. Many of my friends did it too. And when they contacted us because the chandelier or the block itself emitted ozone. We corrected the design errors, and then everything worked perfectly.Incorrectly made chandeliers or assembled block circuits can easily emit ozone! Look at the pictures given in the article (except for the very first one), this is generally some kind of bullshit.

In the 90s, I had occasion to communicate with the developments of ozone treatment based on Chizhevsky’s devices. “Mountain air” rooms, protecting seed from pests and preparing seed, preserving food and vegetables in chambers with ozone are just a small part of all methods of using ozone therapy. Much of the opposition came from stakeholders whose interests were affected by the outcome.

Negative ions in the air have a positive effect on human health (Chizhevsky called waterfalls and mountain air “electric resorts”), but have a detrimental effect on viruses (including coronoviruses). This is why doctors recommend, for example, during a flu epidemic, to ventilate the room more often (there are many times more negative ions in the street air), and positive ones themselves appear from the operation of electrical equipment and in the exhaled air. The stuffy air in the apartment is not due to the lack of oxygen, but due to the lack of negative ions.

The chandelier should be about 27 kV, this is optimal. For all its advantages, there is a fucking drawback! Dust in the air is charged by it and sticks to everything. You need to wipe down all the furniture in the room with a rag. Too often. The rest is all positives.

We bought it many years ago, used it a little then and moved to a private house, we recently did some renovations and apparently the gypsum plaster in the bedroom took a very long time to dry out and in the morning the air was so unpleasant that when you return to the bedroom from another room it’s downright disgusting.I found this chandelier and turned it on, I even thought it wouldn’t work. But a pleasant smell appeared, like after a thunderstorm, after rain. And now it is on all the time and the air is clean and there is no smell. And I typed on the Internet a request whether there is any harm from the fact that I do not turn it off, but I read that there should be no smell of ozone - but I just like this and that the benefits have not been proven. But personally, it has been proven for me - the rotten, stuffy smell from gypsum plaster has disappeared and now there is always clean, pleasant air, whether during the day or at night, the smell of ozone. Great!

Irina! Scanners included in large MFPs emit ozone (very little) during scanning. There are other devices with this not good parameter. This is considered a bad parameter; they are recommended to be placed in corridors so that people do not sit in this room; ventilation is recommended. Some smoke weed, they say it's good too. {P.S. Ionizers are necessary for the formation of negatively charged air ions, and not for (in a design made with instigation) the formation of ozone!}

The chandelier can only be used in completely dust-free conditions. As mentioned above, light air ions electrify dust, causing it to begin to stick to all surfaces. Including adheres to the epithelium of the respiratory tract. So at home there will be nothing but harm from it.

To prevent the adhesion of electrified dust, it is enough to equip the chandelier device with a removable mesh, which will become a waste collector and periodic washing with alkaline foaming solutions will solve the problem of adhesion to the walls of the room.

We don’t actually go outside (QUARANTINE), I decided to increase the amount of necessary air ions in the apartment. I found a blank for Chizhevsky’s electro-effluvium chandelier (I used to make them), with 28 mm cages (2 mm steel material), chandelier diameter 500 mm (convex). Needles 28mm long. It is important that there are no patterns of obtuse and acute angles in the solderings (they are relatively blunt in any case), all solderings should be round, the shape of the chandelier is round, needles (the kind tailors use when pinning when sewing dresses) are additionally sharpened, soldering in knots in the form of a ball. In this case, there is no release of toxic gases. I took a generator circuit that had been tested a long time ago using two resistors, two diodes, one semistor, a capacitor, and a B2B ignition coil. She often appears on the Internet. Almost any parts can be installed, the main thing is that they match the current and voltage. The details after setting up the circuit turned out to be R1 - 860 Ohm 4 W;, R2 - 20 to 4 W; D1, D2 – D205; thyristor KU202M; Instead of 1 mF, I set the capacitor to 0.5 mF, but at 600V, the fuse is still 1A, I’ll replace it with 0.5A (everything fits into the plastic case together with the multiplier. I would like to note that without connecting the multiplier, the voltage at the output of the coil is 4 times higher ÷5. Just in case, the coil was insulated with 2 layers of 0.8 mm fluoroplastic, put additional insulators around the coil, laid two sheets of fluoroplastic on the bottom and lid of the case, everything was installed on fiberglass (from the bottom and sides) printed installation. Multiplier on six capacitors 390 at 16 kV and six KTs212E diodes at 15 kV (phased circuit, phase, neutral).
The high-voltage wire is complex: MGTF 1x0.35 with 3 layers of thin brake shrinkage, then thick-walled silicone cambric, and again heat shrinkage.Enters the housing block through a sealed lead-in. At the end, the male connector is connected to a female connector in a plastic case where 3 megohm resistors are sealed, embedded in paraffin in the case. The total resistance is 11 m. The voltage can be carefully checked along the length of the barely visible arc that forms. Approximately 1mm = 1 kV. I got ≈35÷42 kV. For some reason, the arc is better visible if you insert a thin (with a well-insulated handle) screwdriver between the conductors. I turn it on 3 times a day for 45÷60 minutes. There are no excessive odors. The breeze can be felt already from 65 cm. The fleece flies towards the chandelier from the same distance. After work there is no static, no dust. Works for 2 days. Suspended ≈30 cm from the ceiling. Above the chandelier there is a large plastic cover, the chandelier is attached to it, a high-voltage cable enters through it at the end of a double connector. Good luck and health to everyone! I think perhaps the information presented will help someone. Safety precautions must be observed! After turning off, a charge remains on the chandelier and the capacitors of the circuit!

It’s easier to scan line from a TV with multipliers or TDKS, there is a built-in high-voltage wire.
