Claims39
A plasma generator comprising a cathode, an anode and a stabilizing electrode, wherein the stabilizing electrode stabilizes a region of plasma within a fluid, wherein a high voltage direct current power supply is coupled to the cathode and the anode, and wherein a decoupling inductor is interposed between the high voltage direct current power supply and the cathode.
A plasma generator, comprising a cathode, an anode and a stabilizing electrode, wherein the stabilizing electrode stabilizes a region of plasma within a fluid, wherein a high voltage direct current power supply is coupled to the cathode and the anode, and wherein a decoupling inductor is interposed between the high voltage direct current power supply and the anode.
A plasma generator, comprising a cathode, an anode and a stabilizing electrode, wherein the stabilizing electrode stabilizes a region of plasma within a fluid, wherein a high frequency alternating current power supply is coupled to the cathode and the stabilizing electrode, and wherein a decoupling capacitor is interposed between the high frequency alternating current power supply and either the cathode or the anode.
A method for plasma generation within a fluid, the method comprising:
- contacting a cathode and an anode to the fluid;
- forming a region of plasma in the fluid;
- stabilizing the region of plasma using a stabilizing electrode;
- coupling a high voltage direct current power supply to the cathode and the anode;
- and
- interposing a decoupling inductor between the high voltage direct current power supply and the cathode.
