Abstract: An arcing electron stream apparatus and method for reducing pollutants in a fluid. The device includes first and second electrodes and a chamber there-between. Voltage is impressed between the electrodes at a frequency, thereby causing a plurality of arcing electron streams to occur between the electrodes. The electrodes have stepped surface such that the central first section of the electrodes are in closer proximity to each other than are the outer second sections. This stepped configuration causes arcing electron streams to progressively be formed along the electrodes and, thus, traverse throughout the chamber, thereby effectively treating molecules within the chamber.

Abstract: An emission control device and method are provided for treating exhaust to reduce pollutants contained therein. The device includes a first chamber through which the exhaust passes. First and second metal grids are disposed within the first chamber at a predetermined distance from each other. Voltage is supplied to the insulated first grid by an electrical induction coil at a predetermined frequency depending upon the application. Electrical charges are generated between the first and second grids which electrically ionizes the exhaust stream. The exhaust stream is then further treated at a second chamber having strata. The strata can further include or exclude noble metals for treatment of the exhaust.
