Patent ID: 6967007

Claim:
A gas plasma reactor comprising: a reactor chamber defining an interior volume and having a gas inlet and a gas outlet; an electrode assembly positioned in said interior volume in communication with said gas inlet and said gas outlet, said electrode assembly adapted to be interposed in a flow of gas from said gas inlet to said gas outlet, said electrode assembly comprising: a plurality of anodes and cathodes having a plurality of anode and cathode surfaces, wherein the anode and cathode surfaces face each other and are spaced apart from each other, defining a meandering flow path for a gas; said anodes having a common electrical connector and said cathodes having a common electrical connector, and a plurality of electrically conductive fin elements connected to facing surfaces of said anodes and cathodes and interposed in the space there between thereby substantially partitioning said meandering flow path; and an electrical connector for connecting a source of electrical power to said electrode assembly.
