Abstract:
1. An apparatus for converting gas using gliding plasma, comprising: a reaction chamber including a cylindrical inner space and a discharge hole in a lower portion; an electrode member installed on the reaction chamber and extended downward in a downwardly tapered shape, the electrode member including a lower end disposed at the inner space of the reaction chamber and insulated from the reaction chamber; a power source configured to apply electricity to the reaction chamber and the electrode member for inducing plasma between an inner wall of the reaction chamber and the electrode member; a magnetic field generating unit installed outside the reaction chamber to rotate the plasma induced inside the reaction chamber in a circumferential direction of the electrode member for forming a plasma region; and a gas supplying unit configured to supply material gas into the reaction chamber to allow the material gas to pass through the plasma region for converting the material gas into a different gas by energy supplied from the plasma.
