    摘要: A plasma gate device comprises a housing, a gas inlet, first and second dielectrics, and first, second, and third electrodes. The housing includes an internal reactor chamber. The gas inlet receives a source gas that flows to the reactor chamber. The first and second dielectrics are spaced apart from one another, with each dielectric including an upper surface and a lower surface. The two dielectrics are oriented such that the lower surface of the first dielectric faces the upper surface of the second dielectric. The first and second dielectrics form boundaries of the reactor chamber. The first electrode receives a first electric voltage. The second electrode receives a second electric voltage. The first and second electric voltages in combination generate an electric field in the reactor chamber through which the source gas flows creating a positive ion plasma and a cloud of electrons. The third electrode attracts the electrons.

    摘要: A plasma reformer for the chemical reforming of gaseous mixtures of water and hydrocarbon fuels for producing hydrogen. The reformer contains a reaction chamber with outer lateral walls containing emitter electrodes and inner lateral walls containing collector electrodes. The emitter electrodes and collector electrodes form an electric circuit. There are a multiplicity of thin needle-like extrusions on the emitter electrode from which a profusion of high energy electrons are emitted. These high-energy electrons dissociate the hydrocarbon fuel through absorption and ionization emitting low energy electrons in the process. These low energy electrons cause dissociation of water. Thus, dissociation of hydrocarbon fuel acts to initiate dissociation of water. The molar ratio of water to hydrocarbon fuel in the input mixture for reactions, and therefor the production of hydrogen from water, increases with carbon number of the hydrocarbon fuel.
