Publication number: 20090151322Abstract: A plasma assisted combustion device includes a dielectric housing that defines a plasma chamber having an input that receives media for processing and an output that passes processed media. A ground electrode plate is positioned proximate to a first surface of the dielectric housing forming a first dielectric barrier. A hot electrode plate is positioned proximate to a second surface of the dielectric housing forming a second dielectric barrier. A power supply generates a waveform that energizes the hot electrode plate with a voltage that strikes a double dielectric barrier plasma discharge in the plasma chamber. A media injector is positioned at an input of the plasma chamber. The media injector includes a nozzle that converts a liquid media into an aerosolized media and then sprays the aerosolized media into the plasma chamber. The plasma in the plasma chamber processes the aerosolized media into at least some lower molecular weight media and activating at least some free radicals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2007Publication date: June 18, 2009Applicant: PERRIQUEST DEFENSE RESEARCH ENTERPRISES LLCInventor: Don M.
