Ozone can be easily generated using a "dielectric barrier discharge". This fancy sounding device is actually fairly simple to make by using either glass plates or glass jars, some wire or metal mesh, and a neon sign transformer or oil burner ignition transformer (6 - 15 kV). The electrodes are separated by one or two layers of glass insulation. The air space between the glass plates or the one electrode and the glass becomes filled with a bluish-violet glow when driven by a high voltage AC source - by forcing air through this region, ozone can be created in substantial quantities. Another type of generator uses a mercury vapor "germicidal" UV light that generates short wave ultraviolet light which generates ozone.
Warning: Be very careful that you don't overdose people in the vicinity of the ozone generator - ozone can potentially make sick people even sicker. Ozone is a very toxic, dangerously reactive oxidizing gas. Your ability to detect its odor fades dramatically with continued exposure. Prolonged exposure can cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract and eyes. Symptoms of ozone poisoning include labored breathing and a tight chest (this can feel almost like a heart attack!), severe headaches, or the onset of asthma-like symptoms. Extreme cases of exposure can cause liquid in the lungs, and even death.
Following are some discussions that describe various ways you can make your own ozone generator:
