Abstract: A variety of AC current sources provide a controlled amount of AC output current even as a particular load may at times approach zero resistance. These AC current sources can be plugged into conventional power outlets, e.g. 60 Hz (USA) and 50 Hz (European). The AC current sources can tolerate a near-short or full-short circuit load for a brief time, without disabling itself or tripping any safety-interrupt. This is achieved by an architecture that achieves the peculiar electrical requirements needed for specific chemical reforming processes, such as vaporization of an ionic fluid. One purpose of the AC current sources is to reform a customized proton-rich ionic fluid.
