As mentioned above, I also want to make a larger and stronger version, clone of the Noch Grassmaster, and was looking for a good 12VDc negative ion generator to do this. ( I have my yogurt pot in the meantime ;-) ).
Well, it turns out negative ion generators are very hard to come by, the two main sources being Oakley in Australia, and the Model Railroad Video's website of Joe Fugate, who also publishes the Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine (and probably get's them from Oakley) I ordered mine from him, as you can pay by paypal, so upon receipt, I shall make a grassmaster clone.
For now, I've tested my tea strainer version on a small section of my home layout, with results as in this picture. Truth is, I did flatten a few bits here and there to resemble the look of real wild grass, but first results are encouraging. I do probably need to replace the (old) batteries in the unit, as it's not that strong at the moment, but it worked. :-)
