US 12,458,921 B2 · Electromagnetic plasma separator

Abstract

An approach is disclosed processing elements from input gases. The input gases are received into an electromagnetic plasma separator where the input gases are heated to at least 8000 degrees Kelvin, via a plasma combustor, to form a gas plasma element state. The gas plasma element state is sent through a series of concentrated super conducting magnets M (M1, M2, . . . , Mi, . . . , Mn), i>1, which act as targeted plasma separators. Each super conducting magnet Mi in the series of concentrated super conducting magnets M (M1, M2, . . . , Mi, . . . , Mn) extracts a corresponding individual plasma state element from the gas plasma into a corresponding separated element S (S1, S2, . . . . Si, . . . , Sn) until a residue of oxygen, nitrogen, and other trace elements remain. The corresponding plasma state element is extracted into a separation arrangement.
