Abstract:
1. A method of constructing a plasma reactor/generator comprising: providing a housing defining an interior volume; providing an anode and a cathode in said housing, said anode and said cathode each having a plurality of anode and cathode surfaces, wherein said anode and cathode surfaces face each other and are spaced apart to define a volume therebetween for a gas; providing a common electrical connection for said anode surfaces, and a common electrical connection for said cathode surfaces; providing a plurality of electrically conductive fin elements on a plurality of said facing surfaces of said anode and said cathode, said fin elements extending into the volume between said facing surfaces, Thereby substantially partitioning said volume into a plurality of cells; and arranging and dimensioning said cells to facilitate manipulating the characteristics of a plasma in said volume.
