1. An apparatus for use with a source of high energy alternating electric power to generate ozone, said apparatus comprising:

  • (a) a first electrode; and

    (b) an insulated second electrode comprising;

    (i) a sealed dielectric envelope having first and second portions, said first portion being positioned remote from said first electrode, and said second portion being positioned proximate to said first electrode, thereby to define between said second portion and said first electrode a reaction space wherein ozone is generated from an oxygen-bearing feed gas; and

    (ii) discharge means for generating electrical phenomena in said dielectric envelope, thereby to generate ozone from the feed gas in said reaction space, said discharge means comprising;

    (A) an inert gas under low pressure filling said dielectric envelope; and

    (B) an electric terminal located in said first portion of said dielectric envelope and being couplable through said dielectric envelope to said first electrode when the source of high energy alternating electric power is applied between said first electrode and said electric terminal.
