Abstract: The present invention discloses a pyrolysis unit that operates using a plasma pyrolysis reactor. Hydrocarbon material that is to be converted to syngas can be in gas, liquid and/or solid form including a slurry of very small powder particles. The hydrocarbons are subjected to very high levels of heat from one or more plasma torches in order to break the hydrocarbon chemical bonds. The residue from heating the hydrocarbon material drops into a pyrolysis unit quench section where the residue and molten ash are removed. Syngas that is extracted from the pyrolysis unit passes through syngas preparation processes that remove contaminants from the syngas. The syngas then passes through a syngas-to-liquid hydrocarbons process. Carbon dioxide that is removed from the syngas preparation and syngas-to-hydrocarbons processes is recycled to the pyrolysis unit.

Abstract: A degaussing winding adapted to be coupled to a first source of varying amplitude alternating current potential develops a degaussing flux in the proximity of a television picture tube during a degaussing interval. A secondary winding coupled to the degaussing winding supplies current to a power supply network to develop a first direct current potential during the degaussing interval. A further aspect includes means coupling the first direct current potential to a horizontal oscillator to enable start-up of the horizontal oscillator which provides for the development of a second direct current potential by the horizontal deflection system. The second direct current potential is coupled to the horizontal oscillator and sustains operation of the horizontal oscillator after the start-up interval.
