Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
GAS IONIZING APPARATUS FOR EFFECTING CHEMICAL REACTIONS, COMPRISING (A) WALLS INCLUDING A TUBULAR ANODE FORMING A CONDUCTIVE WALL PASSAGE CONVERGING TO A RESTRICTED THROAT AND ENLARGING BEYOND SAID THROAT INTO A CONDUCTIVE WALL REACTION CHAMBER, (B) A CATHODE AXIALLY ALINED WITH SAID THROAT AND HAVING A TIP AT ARC GAP SPACING FROM THE THROAT WALL WHILE BEING SUFFICIENTLY CLOSE TO SAID REACTION CHAMBER THAT AN ARC EMANATING FROM THE CATHODE TIP PROJECTS UNATTACHED THROUGH SAID THROAT AND FLARES OUTWARDLY AND ATTACHES TO THE REACTION CHAMBER WALL, (C) MEANS FOR ADMITTING A FIRST FLUID TO SAID PASSAGE AT HIGH VELOCITY FOR FLOW ABOUT AND PAST THE CATHODE TIP INTO SAID THROAT AND CHAMBER TO PREVENT THE ARC ATTACHMENT IN SAID THROAT AND THUS PROVIDE FOR THE ARC ATTACHMENT TO THE REACTION CHAMBER WALL.
