Device and system for energy generation by controlled plasma ignition and incineration

A system for the generation of electricity by the incineration of solid waste having a significant moisture content, the system comprising:

• (a) a fuel input for delivering solid fuel into a first plasma chamber, (b) a first plasma chamber designed to contain a plasma and combust fuel therein, (c) a first heating means within the combustion chamber, (d) a thermoelectric generator contained within the combustion chamber for generating electricity from heat, (d) a second plasma chamber containing a second heating means, (e) a vent attached to the second plasma chamber in communication with a separating membrane adapted to separate hydrogen from as mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, (f) a collection chamber for collecting hydrogen gas, and (g) a generator attached to the collection chamber adapted to generate electricity from the combustion of hydrogen.
