Abstract

A method of incising matter with a harmonious plasma cloud. An inexpensive radiofrequency generator and power amplifier generates an electromagnetic wave which is transmitted from an incising transmitter probe. This electromagnetic wave is impedance matched, frequency matched, and power matched to initiate and sustain a harmonious plasma cloud with low atomic particle turbulence and chaos. This harmonious plasma cloud forms a coating over the surface of the incising tip as well as acts to reduce the energy output needed from the power amplifier. The electromagnetic wave is also used to produce a Pinch Effect to compress, contour, shape and control the harmonious plasma cloud. The electromagnetic wave is furthermore used to trap and contain the plasma cloud without the need of a solid matter containment vessel according to the Magnetic Bottle Effect of physics. The Tunnelling effect of physical chemistry is utilized to amplify the energy delivered to the harmonious plasma cloud while shielding matter surrounding the intended path of incision from potential radiation exposure. The system provides an efficient, effective, safe, clean and inexpensive approach to producing an incision in matter.
