Abstract
A useful energy product created by a process where a chemical species flow passes through a macroscopic artificial dielectric structure for a gas-permeable susceptor having (a) first regions in the structure that are primarily transparent to applied electromagnetic energy and (b) second regions in the structure that are not primarily transparent to applied electromagnetic energy.

A useful energy product created by a process where a chemical species flow passes through a macroscopic artificial dielectric structure for a gas-permeable susceptor consisting of first regions in the structure that are primarily transparent to applied electromagnetic energy and second regions in the structure that are not primarily transparent to applied electromagnetic energy, wherein:
- (a) the first regions are discontinuously interspersed between and among the second regions,
- (b) the transmission of the applied electromagnetic energy by these said first regions provides a means for increase interaction between the applied electromagnetic energy and the chemical species flow,
- (c) the transmission of the applied electromagnetic energy by these said first regions provides a means for increased interaction between the applied electromagnetic energy and the second regions in the gas-permeable susceptor to interact with said second regions, and
- (d) the distance between each of said first regions and volume fraction of the said first regions assists the applied electromagnetic energy to penetrating the structure and interacting volumetrically with the susceptor and the reactant chemical species flow passing through the susceptor and allows for the synthesis a useful energy product.
A useful energy product created by a process where a chemical species flow passes through a macroscopic artificial dielectric structure for a gas-permeable susceptor consisting of first regions in the structure that are primarily absorptive to applied electromagnetic energy and second regions in the structure that are not primarily transparent to applied electromagnetic energy, wherein:
- (a) the first regions are discontinuously interspersed between and among the second regions;
- (b) the transmission of the applied electromagnetic energy by these said first regions provides a means for increase interaction between the applied electromagnetic energy and the chemical species flow;
- (c) the transmission of the applied electromagnetic energy by these said first regions provides a means for increased interaction between the applied electromagnetic energy and the second regions in the gas-permeable susceptor to interact with said second regions;
- and
- (d) the distance between each of said first regions and volume fraction of the said first regions assists the applied electromagnetic energy to penetrating the structure and interacting volumetrically with the susceptor and the reactant chemical species flow passing through the susceptor and allows for the synthesis a useful energy product.
A method to crack a hydrocarbon comprising the steps of:
- a) using an applied electromagnetic source to apply a variable frequency mode of operations to a hydrocarbon material;
- b) the hydrocarbon material absorbing the applied electromagnetic energy over the range of the variable frequency applied;
- and
- c) cracking original hydrocarbon material into at least one smaller molecular species.
