Apparatus for making a novel, highly efficient, nonpollutant, oxygen rich and cost competitive combustible gas and associated method

A method for producing a clean burning combustible gas comprising:

• providing an enclosed pressure resistant reactor chamber housing a pair of electrodes and being substantially filled with a liquid;
• providing an electric power supply for generating an underliquid arc between said pair of electrodes in said enclosed chamber;
• providing means for initiating, maintaining and optimizing said arc;
• providing means for continuously circulating and concentrating a flow of said liquid directly through said arc between said pair of electrodes;
• and
• providing means for recovering from said enclosed chamber a combustible gas produced by said underliquid arc, wherein an inlet to said means for recovering said gas is located above a top surface of said liquid so as to collect the gas as it bubbles to the top of the liquid;
• energizing the pair of electrodes and circulating and directing the flow of said liquid through the arc so that the plasma created by the arc is moved away from the arc;
• controlling a gap between said electrode for the initiation, maintenance and optimization of the arc;
• and
• recovering the produced gas,
• wherein said arc decomposes the molecules of said liquid resulting in a plasma of atoms and their combinations exposed to intense electric and magnetic fields existing at atomic distances from said arc,
• wherein said flow of said liquid directly through said arc continuously removes said plasma from said arc,
• wherein following said removal of said plasma from the arc, said plasma cools down in said liquid resulting in a clean burning combustible gas,
• wherein said flow of the liquid through said arc minimizes the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen into water caused by the arc itself thereby increasing the efficiency of said apparatus,
• wherein said flow of the liquid through said arc minimizes the oxidation of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide caused by the arc itself thereby increasing the efficiency of said apparatus and improving the environmental properties of said gas,
• wherein the flow of said liquid through said arc cools the electrodes thereby increasing the useful life of the electrodes,
• wherein said flow of said liquid through the arc exposes said liquid to intense electric and magnetic fields existing at atomic distances from the arc.
