Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a combustion reaction includes steps and structures for applying an electric field across a combustion reaction. Application of the electric field results in broadening the flammability and stability limits of the fuel.
Abstract:
A solid fuel combustion system includes a solid fuel support configured to hold a solid fuel for a combustion reaction. A field electrode is positioned above the solid fuel support. A voltage source supplies a first voltage the solid fuel support and a second voltage to the field electrode.
