An ozone producing machine that produces ozone by ionizing oxygen in the input gas with a high voltage arc. The present invention includes an electronic circuit that is used to drive a high frequency self oscillating push-pull ozone generating cell. The ozone cell has a self resonant frequency that is determined by the construction of the ozone cell and by the characteristics of the gas (air or oxygen) being put through the cell. Ozone production by the cell is maximized when the cell is preferably driven at 2/3 times the resonant frequency. The present invention detects the resonant frequency of the cell and drives the cell at 2/3 times that resonant frequency. Further, the invention detects any changes in the resonant frequency of the cell and adjusts the drive to the cell to compensate for those changes, thus driving the cell at the optimum frequency for maximal ozone production.
