  • Apparatus for generating reactive gas with glow discharges and methods of use
    Patent number: 9378933
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a flow of reactive gas for decontaminating a material, surface or area, which comprises a first electrode member comprising a first conductive sheet and a first plurality of conductive pins protruding from a surface of the first conductive sheet and a second electrode member comprising a second conductive sheet and a second plurality of conductive pins protruding from a surface of the second conductive sheet. The second electrode member is arranged in spaced relationship with the first electrode member to define a reactor channel between the first conductive sheet and the second conductive sheet The first plurality of conductive pins protrude within the reactor channel towards the second conductive sheet and the second plurality of conductive pins protrude within the reactor channel towards the first conductive sheet so as to form air gaps between the first plurality of conductive pins and the second plurality of conductive pins.
    Type: Grant
