Abstract

Ce convertisseur de combustible au plasma comporte une structure électro-conductrice permettant de former une première électrode, une seconde électrode étant disposée de façon à créer un intervalle par rapport à la première électrode dans une chambre de réaction. Un mélange de combustible et d'air est introduit dans l'intervalle, l'alimentation électrique étant connectée aux deux électrodes de façon à fournir une tension comprise approximativement entre 100 V et 40 kV de façon à produire une décharge luminescente permettant le reformage du combustible. Le plasmatron haute tension faible intensité de l'invention est peu coûteux, permet une longue durée des électrodes, utilise une régulation et alimentation électrique simple, et permet de se dispenser de la présence d'un compresseur d'air.
