The History of Aran and the Aranizer
|
The sole purpose of this history is to familiarize
potential customers and business associates with the
extensive research that was conducted by Nick Trikilis, Ted
Trikilis and by many other researchers involved with Ozone
and polyatomic oxygen for use in air and water
purification. Since Nick Trikilis was the National Sales
Manager for Automatic Electrical Devices from 1946 to 1950,
his sale of Ozone producing machines under the Trademark
"HomOzone" was the basis for his future patent of the ARAN
generator. In 1950, all rights to the HomOzone products
including the trademark, "HomOzone" were purchased and the
company was moved from Cincinnati, Ohio to Canton, Ohio. In
1953 "Aranair Corporation" was created and the business
moved to Wooster, Ohio.
Prior to Ozone treatment of water in the United States,
the Europeans were purifying water in Paris before World
War II. With DuPont, Dow and Monsanto producing the
chemical "Chlorine" for water purification, most of the
Ozone Research was conducted by ordinary Medical Doctors
(MD's) which was indirectly funded by companies wishing to
discourage the use of Ozone for water purification
purposes. This laid the foundation for governmental
intervention for the use of Ozone as a purifying agent!
Nick Trikilis was the Founder and President of ARANAIR
Corporation from 1953 to November of 1980. He was killed in
an automobile accident and subsequently ARANAIR CORPORATION
ceased to exist. From 1980 to 1988, Ted worked on a patent
improvement for the ARAN generator and ultimately was able
to discover a "new process" for generating ARAN which made
the manufacturing of industrial water and air purification
systems possible.
The Ozone Industry continued to progressively expand and
become an industry disproving the theory that "OZONE IS A
HEALTH HAZARD." Many researchers dealing with Ozone began
changing the attitudes of scientists on a world-wide level.
Those who were once against the use of Ozone as a purifier,
changed to an attitude that the salvation of the Earth may
come from this exceptional Oxygen Polymer. As Nick
Trikilis's patent was searched by the Patent Office and
granted a patent in 1965, the 04, 05, 06, 07, 0X, etc.
created by the ARAN generator was a significant
breakthrough in the Air and Water Purification Industry
since ARAN was created without splitting the Nitrogen
molecule. ARAN is created by the ARAN generator without
creating Oxides of Nitrogen! Since Ozone is created
differently than ARAN, the formation of Oxides of Nitrogen
(NO, NO2 and N202) is more often found in Ozone-producing
systems. When these Oxides of Nitrogen combine with water
vapor and rise into the upper atmosphere, Acid Rain results
from this formation and contributes to the water pollution
and leaching of heavy metals into our water systems as they
are dissolved by the Acid Rain.
It is abundantly clear that Ozone, without the presence
of Oxides of Nitrogen, is easily more tolerable and not
harmful to human health when found in "acceptable
quantities" in our atmosphere. In fact, after a
"thunderstorm" we often experience a "fresher, cleaner air"
that is invigorating. This is caused by the formation of
Ozone through this gigantic electrical "spark." Yet, Oxides
of Nitrogen are also formed and this is not healthy to
human beings. Clark Thorp, author of THE
TOXICITY OF OZONE - A Report and Bibliography,
was the acting chairman of the department of Chemistry and
Chemical Engineering, Armour Research Foundation of
Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago when his
investigation of Ozone was reported in the Industrial
Medicine and Surgery Journal in February of 1950. Thorp is
considered to be the 'Father of Modern Ozone Research"
since he was able to answer the many questions concerning
Ozone's toxicity and its effect on the human being.
It was Thorp's investigation of the oxides of
Nitrogen with Ozone that lead the way to clearing Ozone as
a potential pollutant: In 1921, Hill and Aeberly
published a series of articles reporting on tests
concerning the effects of Ozone, chemically, physically and
physiologically. As a result of these tests a toxic limit
for ozone was established at 1.0 part per million. It was
also stated that 20 parts per million with an exposure of
two hours might prove fatal to humans. After noting the
work of Thorp previously mentioned, Hill, realizing that
oxides of Nitrogen had been present in his previous test,
decided to rerun the test on an identical basis to
determine if pure ozone had higher toxic limits. These
later tests showed that pure ozone was definitely non-toxic
in concentrations as high as 50 parts per million.
As a final result of his work,
Hill states: "pure ozone is not poisonous in any sense of
the word as it breaks down in contact with the mucus
membrane and oxygen only remains. For this reason there are
no cumulative effects and pure ozone may be breathed for
long periods of time without harm provided, of course, that
immediate irritation of strong concentrations is
avoided."Excerpt from "Reprint from Industrial Medicine and
Surgery, 19:2, 45-57, February, 1950
Ted Trikilis states, "The statement that Ozone
is harmful to Human Health is also very puzzling since, to
my knowledge, I have never heard of one incident, one
ailment or one episode of any person suffering from any
health problems attributed to Ozone in the past 35
years!" Our government, through the FDA and EPA,
have set "guidelines" which made the presence of Ozone
acceptable in industry and public areas. Yet, there has not
been one documented incident related to a death caused by
Ozone anywhere in the government's extensive research!
Furthermore, it is clear that cigarettes cause cancer, and
that secondary smoke can be more harmful to a non-smoker
than first hand smoke may be to a smoker. Yet, the
government is not too quick to "outlaw" cigarettes or to
restrict smoking to "SMOKING ROOMS ONLY" areas.
It is interesting to note that throughout the FDA's
history, several drugs have been approved for human use
only later to have been found to be hazardous to human
health. More often than not, an "engineer" that is well
read on Government Bulletins will object to the presence of
Ozone, because they have "read" someplace that Ozone is
"hazardous" to human health. Yet, several of these
"engineers" will be either smokers, or users of alcoholic
beverages and will not recognize that the substances they
are either smoking or drinking are destroying their body.
Yet, they are the first people to be influenced by an OSHA
Bulletin created by a government official that has less
knowledge about Ozone than the average high school
chemistry student!
In 1992, the American Medical Association published
information that stated, " nearly 28% of all Cancer
of the Intestines and 18% of all Cancer of the Bladder was
caused by the drinking of Chlorinated Water." In
1984, the West German Swimming Team refused to swim in the
Olympic Pool in Los Angeles because of the chlorinated
water system. Yet, again today, chlorine is the number one
method used by the United States for purification of
water!
Today, after nearly fifty years, more companies
are producing Ozone Purification Systems in the United
States than in any other country in the world. From 1953 to 1965, Nick Trikilis invented the ARAN
generator which was patented in 1965. His patent stated
that only the Oxygen molecule was separated and reformed in
a "new" molecule that was greater than the Ozone molecule.
Ozone has three (3) atoms of Oxygen and is generally formed
by either electric spark or Ultra-violet Light. In the
upper atmosphere better known as the Ozone Layer, the
Ultra-violet rays from our Sun create the Ozone which forms
the "protective layer of visible blue air" which surrounds
our Earth. This Ozone Layer is a reflective
"shield" which absorbs and/or deflects the most harmful
UltraViolet Rays from our Sun. We measure the
thickness of this "layer" using Ultra-violet light
detectors which measures the amount of Ultra-violet light
penetrating the Earth through the Ozone Layer. This
penetration, when significantly high, causes people with
sensitive skin to burn and potentially can cause melanomas
(Skin Cancers) which are Life Threatening! It is generally
this same test that is used to detect the amount of Ozone
in a city's atmosphere, and when the "ozone levels" are
considered to be significantly "high," the EPA will send
bulletins out through the radio stations notifying the
public of this "dangerously high concentration." It is for
this reason that I feel it necessary to inform the readers
of this history about the misconceptions perpetrated upon
the public and to update the information concerning Ozone
and our product, ARAN.
ARANAIR CORPORATION WINS case with FDA:
In 1963, a Utah Distributor of ARANAIR CORPORATION used
a testimonial letter sent to my father as "proof' that the
ARANAIR units had therapeutic value in helping Asthmatics
breathe easier without medication. This misrepresentation
by a distributor caused the FDA to impound all the Air
Purifiers in Utah and to send Federal Marshalls to Wooster,
Ohio, and close ARANAIR CORPORATION! For nearly two years,
Nick Trikilis, through his attorney, George Tzangas, fought
the FDA in the Case "U.S. Pure Food & Drug vs. Aranair"
at great expense to Aranair Corporation. After
Aranair's successful endeavor, the attorney wrote Aranair
Corporation indicating that ARANAIRE WAS NOT HARMFUL TO
HUMAN HEALTH!
"Gentlemen: "This office diligently worked and succeeded
in proving to the U.S. Pure Food & Drug Administration
that your product is NOT HARMFUL OR DETRIMENTAL TO PUBLIC
HEALTH. (emphasis added by T.N.Trikilis) We won our case
after great amounts of work and expenses incurred in the
expedition of our work..."
Very truly yours, George J. Tzangas
(excerpt from attorney's letter to Aranair Corp., July 24,
1964)
While the time and expense was incurred by ARANAIR
CORPORATION, the FDA made no effort to reimburse the
company for its defensive action! While there are many
"experts" stating that ARAN as O4, O5, O6, OX, etc., cannot
and does not exist, a Japanese physicist, Dr.Uozumi,
through "balanced mathematical and chemical equations,"
revealed that airborne Oxygen, when exposed to dense, high
velocity electron plasma (without any heat from electrode
sparking), will form into higher atomic groupings like O10.
This is through alterations in the individual atomic
valences of the Oxygen Atom. Once this "Super Oxygen" is
released, it very rapidly tries to return to the more
stable O2. In its rapidly decaying from O10, down to O9,
O8, O7, O6, O5, O4, O3, and O2, it randomly gives off
electrons that encounter other previously unaffected Oxygen
molecules, and impacts them, giving them some of its
secondary free electrons. These Oxygen molecules are
transformed by this process into higher forms, from O9, to
O8, O7, etc., which in turn break down into O7, O6, etc.,
also releasing electrons and creating other higher forms,
which then break down and give off electrons, etc..."
As
illustrated by Dr. Uozumi's studies, ARAN is a process that
is self-sustaining and continues to break down and regroup
because of the intense energy required in creating the ARAN
molecule! Dr. Uozumi is not the only scientist to
acknowledge higher allotropic forms of Oxygen other than
Ozone (O3). In 1943, Herman W. Schuette, from St. Louis,
Missouri, received a patent for producing "Octozone" (O8,
O6, O4) sometimes called "Heavy Oxygen" which he stated
could be used in many cases to aid in various medical
conditions from Sinusitis to prostatitis, gonorrhea and
anthrax. Dr. Manfred Curry, the noted German scientist,
discusses "Aran" in his "Bioklimatik" as early as 1946
stating that higher forms of Oxygen other than O2 can be
found in the upper stratosphere.
Areas where air is unaffected by pollutants will often
have other allotropic forms of Oxygen ranging from Ozone
(O3) to heavier Oxygen forms such as O4 , O5 , O6, OX! In
Van Nostrand's SCIENTIFIC ENCYCLOPEDIA, Fifth Edition,
identifies Oxygen (O4), as the "rare, very unstable,
non-magnetic, pale-blue O4 ." An Encyclopaedia printed by
the R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co., reference is made to the
Oxygen Molecule, O4, stating that "the least volatile
portions of liquid ozone contains a denser gas of great
chemical activity to which the name "oxozone" has been
given with the molecular formula O4 . Their source for this
information being attributed to C.D. Harries, 1911! As late
as 1970, the existence of higher allotropic forms of Oxygen
were still being questioned.
Aranair Corporation provided a Model LR air purifier to
Campbell and Associates, an outside Engineering Firm, for
testing. The results of their testing are noted hereafter:
"Results: Gas emitted and weighed shows to
have molecular weight about six times heavier than oxygen.
Gas combined in oxidation five times faster than oxygen.
The flame tests shows ranges to be greater than Ozone and
to be in the Pentoxide Range meaning O5 or ARAN as
described by the company." Just as Ozone (O3) is different
from Oxygen (O2), ARAN is different than Ozone. Yet, an
"over-the-counter" Public Corporation called "Medizone,"
has obtained a patent (#4,632,980) for medical treatment
using Ozone as its "medicine." It also obtained a FDA
I.N.D. (Investigative New Drug) status, which gives them
sole rights to : "The use of ozone in the inactivation of
lipid envelope viruses within blood and blood products that
may be returned to a mammalian host." Just as there are
individuals that claim Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) if taken
orally in very dilute amounts will help keep the human body
free of bacteria and disease, the use of Ozone either taken
anally or intravenously is touted by many users of Ozone as
the panacea for most human ailments.
Since ARAN is very concentrated Oxygen molecules, it is
easy to see that an average person breathing normal
mixtures of air will require less breaths when breathing
ARAN to achieve the same results. Yet, it is very often the
person that has been smoking or breathing foul air that is
the first to complain about the "odour of Aran" as their
lungs are saturated with by-products of their smoking or
polluted work place and the oxidation effect of ARAN in the
atmosphere is now performing the same task in that
individual's lungs! Too much ARAN has an "arresting effect"
on a person's lungs if they are exposed too long or to too
much ARAN. Remember, the body will only absorb so many
molecules of Oxygen in performing its respiration, and too
much Oxygen in the Human System will have the same effect
as too much Oxygen in a Fighter Pilot's Oxygen Mask.
Fortunately, the ARAN machine has a dial that allows the
owner to adjust the machine to fit the concentration of
pollution that may be present. When adjusting any
ARAN machine, it is best to remember the following
directions: "If you can smell the ARAN, the unit
is probably set too high; if you can smell the odor, the
unit is set too low. You should not be able to smell
anything and the dial gives each person the opportunity to
adjust the unit to their own level of comfort."
As there are many documented facts related to the
benefits of using Ozone in both air and water purification,
there is very little published information about
experiments related to human exposure to Ozone. It is well
known to both scientist and layperson that Ozone is
bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal, however tests
conducted on mice and birds will have a much different
effect when conducted on the Human Beings.In early 1960,
the University of Florida, Department of Agriculture,
conducted experiments using the Aranair units manufactured
by my father. The results of the experiments were very
rewarding and led to the publishing of a report for the
Florida State Horticultural Society (October 25-27, 1960)
in which R.O. Magie, Plant Pathologist, Gulf Coast
Experiment Station, stated the use of Ozone as a deterrent
to the fungus, Botrytis. On July 18, 1962, R.O. Magic wrote
my father a letter stating that: This is to certify that
the air purifiers that I used in my disease control tests
with gladiolus and chrysanthemum flowers were YOUR ARANAIR
UNITS. (Emphasis added by T.N.Trikilis) I used these units
over a two year period in small and large cabinets as well
as in rooms. We used them at room temperature and in cold
storage rooms." Since my father's patent was not granted
until 1965, the use of ARAN and ARANAIRE were not used as
much as Ozone by the scientific community since the "Theory
of a molecule having more than three (3) atoms to it was
difficult at best to believe yet prove". Yet, in 1964, the
copyright for ARAN was registered in the Library of
Congress, Washington D.C. and one year later the Patent
Office registered the patent for the ARAN generator to Nick
Trikilis.
Today, there are those in the Ozone field that will not
acknowledge the presence or existence of ARAN since to
recognize ARAN is to "outdate" the Ozone applications and
obviously create a competitor that has much more to offer
the customer than Ozone. The first steps taken by T. Nick
Trikilis for ARAN - AQUA Pollution Control Systems will be
to publish the many testimonials obtained by Nick Trikilis
through the thirty years he endeavoured to pursue the ARAN
dream. Drew Pearson, the noted columnist who wrote "Inside
Washington," was my father's personal friend. He
interviewed my father in 1960 for the Television Program,
"New Horizons" which aired nationally from August, 1960,
through December of 1960. As he tried to introduce my
father to people in Washington D.C. that could have helped
my father in the early years, this effort was cut short by
Mr. Pearson's untimely death. In a letter from Thomas
Curren, New Horizons Productions, Mr. Curran writes: "Mr.
Pearson was quite pleased and said that your product is
really one that is worthwhile..." (Excerpt March 14th,
1960) It is difficult for anyone to give guarantees on any
product in which both the uninformed public and the
governmental "experts" truly believe a "substance to be
harmful to human Health." Yet, the fact that ARAN is really
Oxygen, and Oxygen is the most important substance in
sustaining Human Life, makes one believe than anything that
is pure and unpolluted certainly cannot be harmful to the
Human Being.
The logic does not follow that Oxygen is harmful to
health, however Oxides of Nitrogen, present in
Ozone-producing equipment, is. And perhaps this is where
the true controversy begins."MODERATION IS ALWAYS BETTER
THAN EXCESSIVENESS!"As a man that has lived in an abundance
of ARAN since early childhood, I can testify that I have
very healthy lungs and that I cannot remember any day that
I have had any problems breathing, nor have I ever suffered
from any ailment that could be considered a result of my
exposure to ARAN. I feel better on a bad day than most
people feel on a "good day."
"From 1959 to 1962, I worked in my own personal
laboratory testing ARAN and its oxidation effect on several
elements and compounds. The hours that I spent in a 8' x 8'
x 8' room with concentrations of ARAN far above the
tolerable level to most people is immeasurable. The fact
that I wrestled for the high school and found myself able
to sustain longer periods without fatigue as compared to my
fellow wrestlers is probably due to my lungs having a
capacity to breathe better than others were breathing. As I
am allergic to dust, an ARAN generator comforts me in both
my business and home and makes it possible for me to
breathe without taking medication for the allergy. I
believe that the ARAN generator not only purifies the air,
but ionizes the particles in the air and causes the
particles to either attach themselves to the floor, walls
and ceiling or to be attracted to other ionized particles
and collectively fall from the air as a larger particle
unable to sustain its "floatation" because of the greater
weight." The future for ARAN and the ARANIZER is
TREMENDOUS. The factory in constantly doubling production
