Abstract: A fullerene arc source and a fullerene production apparatus comprising the arc source. More than one independent arc source (2) is mounted in a vacuum furnace (1). Each arc source (2) comprises an anode (21) and a cathode trigger (23). The anode (21) is in contact with the cathode trigger (23) to generate an arc and a triggering end of a positive electrode is vaporized to produce a mixture comprising the fullerene. The multiple arc source (2) in the vacuum furnace (1) simultaneously work to industrially produce the fullerene in a mass manner.
