  • Steam generator using a plasma arc
    Patent number: 10260738
    Abstract: A steam generator using a plasma arc submerged in electrolyte including an electrode assembly for forming the plasma arc, an electrical power source to energize the electrode assembly and an electronic rectifier operatively connected between the power source and the terminal connections. The electronic rectifier comprises a controllable switch for rectifying an input voltage and a monitoring-controller connected to the controllable switch for controlling said controllable switch. The monitoring-controller engages the controllable switch upon sensing a substantially zero input voltage for initiating a gradual plasma arc, heating the electrolyte and generating steam therefrom.
