Abstract: Electric power generated by a generator driven by an engine is converted into an alternating current of any arbitrary frequency by an inverter. A compressor of a refrigeration cycle includes a motor driven by power supplied from the inverter and a refrigerant compression unit rotatably driven by the motor to suck in, compress, and discharge refrigerant. A mode changeover switch is switchable between a start/stop operation mode that allows the engine to start and stop, and a continuous operation mode in which the engine is continuously operated. When the start/stop operation mode is selected by the mode changeover switch, the controller controls the inverter such that the target rotation speed of the compressor is fixed at a high rotation speed which is higher than the rotation speed according to the difference between the set temperature and the internal temperature.

Abstract: A plasma filtration device has a plasma module and a filter. The filter is mounted outside of the outlet side of the plasma module. A high-electric field is formed in the plasma module to excite the air to enter a plasma state so that the structures of the hazardous substances are damaged to dissociate into cations and anions. Since the hazardous substances are damaged, the hazardous substances do not harm the users. Further, since the filter is mounted outside of the plasma filtration module, the particles blocked on the filter do not be effected by the electric fields and do not generate the undesired ozone and peculiar smell. Thus, the plasma filtration device achieves high efficiency air clean effect while preventing side effects.

Abstract: A plasma hydrogen generation device includes a liquid fuel storage bottle, an air filtering element, a large capacitor battery and a fuel cell power set. In operation, the carbon hydrogen compound is decomposed into hydrogen and carbon without carbon dioxide generation when a liquid carbon hydrogen compound is decomposed in the plasma hydrocarbon decomposition element. The produced hydrogen is directly provided to fuel cells on the car to generate electric power. As such, the resulting electric power may be directly used for the electric motor driving system on the car. Further, it is also suitable for a home electric power supply device with home or industry electricity specification, or used in combination with an electric vehicle (EV) car driving system to become a hydrogen hybrid EV car, or used in combination with a natural gas internal combustion engine to become a hydrogen hybrid car driving system.

Abstract: The present invention uses as a detector for adjustment measurement, monodyne interference between a microwave for plasma generation and the reflected wave. Analysis of the interference wave that is obtained using monodyne interference allows finding of the phase difference between the incident and the reflected wave and the amplitude of that reflected wave; and controlling of an excited microwave generation/control system based on them allows impedance matching between the excited microwave and the plasma. This method allows very high precision phase detection, and calculation of the characteristics of the plasma based on the detected phase shift. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish noises even in the vicinity of the matched region.

Abstract: A continuous or a long-pulsed microwave oscillated from a microwave oscillator 1 is propagated in a waveguided tube 2 in which a given gas is charged. Subsequently, by irradiating a laser having a given intensity from a laser source 4 to the points, A and B in the tube 2, the given gas is partially made plasma. Just then, the microwave can not travel beyond the plasma-part of the given gas and reflects thereat. Accordingly, the microwave is divided at the plasma-part and thereby, a short-pulsed microwave can be obtained.
