Continuous production systems for thermochemical reactions

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations configured to:
• driving a moving platform at a first speed for converting a reactants mixture to slag, the moving platform configured to suspend the reactants mixture within a line of focus of a concentrated light source as the moving platform is driven at the first speed, the moving platform configured to face the concentrated light source, the moving platform configured to suspend the reactants mixture during movement of the moving platform, the concentrated light source configured to focus laser energy along the line of focus;
• and
• driving the moving platform at a second speed for creating a discontinuity in the slag, the moving platform configured to suspend the reactants mixture as the moving platform is driven at the second speed.

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory storage media storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations configured to:
• drive a moving platform configured to suspend a reactants mixture at a first speed in response to the reactants mixture being situated within a line of focus of a concentrated light source, the moving platform configured to face the concentrated light source, the moving platform configured to suspend the reactants mixture during movement of the moving platform, the concentrated light source configured to focus laser energy along the line of focus;
• and
• drive the moving platform configured to suspend the reactants mixture at a second speed in response to the reactants mixture being situated outside the line of focus of the concentrated light source.
