Patent ID: 7628962

Claim:
A plasma reactor system for generating hydrogen, comprising: a resonant cavity having a first end and a second end and the space between the two ends divided into two a first portion and a second portion by a dielectric diaphragm made of a chemically resistant plastic material serving as a barrier between the first portion and the second portion; a source of hydrogen-rich gas a gas injector for injecting the hydrogen-rich gas and a non-reactive gas into the second end of the cavity; a means for generating electromagnetic energy to an inside portion of the cavity; the second portion of the cavity configured to have a collection of plasma particles for forming a plasma discharge inside of the second end of the cavity by the interaction of electromagnetic energy from the generating means and the injected hydrogen-rich gas wherein, the plasma discharge cracks the hydrogen-rich gas thereby releasing hydrogen gas; and a nozzle in the second end of the cavity for emitting hydrogen gas from the the second portion of the cavity.
