Apparatus and method for hydrogen generation

Abstract

A device for generating hydrogen may include a reaction vessel comprising: at least one grounded surface or electrode, a fluid inlet configured to allow a fluid feed stream to enter the reaction vessel, a fluid outlet configured to allow a fluid product stream to exit the reaction vessel, at least one high voltage electrode disposed within the reaction vessel, the at least one high voltage electrode separated from the at least one grounded surface or electrode by a plasma zone of the reaction vessel; and at least one dielectric insulator disposed with the reaction vessel such that the at least one dielectric insulator is disposed between the at least one grounded surface or electrode and the at least one high voltage electrode.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
