Ozone vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) ozone generators, employ a light source that generates a narrow-band ultraviolet light, a subset of that produced by the Sun. The Sun's UV sustains the ozone layer in the stratosphere of Earth. UV ozone generators use ambient air for ozone production, no air prep systems are used (air dryer or oxygen concentrator), therefore these generators tend to be less expensive. However UV ozone generators usually produce ozone with a concentration of about 0.5% or lower which limits the potential ozone production rate. Another disadvantage of this method is that it requires the ambient air (oxygen) to be exposed
Zombies of the Stratosphere dummy running along a wire, were first used in Republic's "Darkest Africa" (1936) and with greater impact in their "Adventures of Captain Marvel" serial (1941). "Zombies of the Stratosphere"s official release date is July 16, 1952, although this is actually the date the sixth chapter was made available to film exchanges.
