Abstract

A method and apparatus for producing gas discharge reactions in which a reaction gas is at least partially oxygenated after being taken through a discharge channel. In order to produce ozone by means of an electric discharge, the discharge channel has applied thereto an electric alternating voltage signal consisting of a sinusoidal potential (U.sub.a) with positive and negative peak values minimally below the firing potential of the discharge channel, and of alternating voltage impulses superimposed on the sinusoidal potential essentially at the respective maximum and minimum values, in order to achieve an exalted potential above the firing potential to enable a discharge reaction. An ozonizer implemented in this way is also disclosed.
