THE METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING A HIGH ENERGY YIELDING SOLID MATERIAL, THAT INCLUDES FORMING A VAPOR CONSISTING OF LONG CHAIN HYDROCARBON MOLECULES WITH CARBON NUMBERS BETWEEN ABOUT 20 AND 35, MIXING SAID VAPOR WITH A PLASMA IN A REACTION ZONE, CONFINING OXYGEN AND NITROGEN IN GASEOUS STATE AT LOW PRESSURE IN SAID ZONE TO FORM SAID PLASMA, SUBJECTING SAID ZONE TO AN ELECTRICAL FIELD AT LOW PRESSURE TO PRODUCE A GLOW DISCHARGE FOR SUSTAINING THE PLASMA, PRESENTING A SURFACE TO SAID ZONE FOR RECEIVING DEPOSITION OF MATERIAL THEREFROM AND IN SOLID FORM, AND REMOVING HEAT FROM SAID SURFACE AND FROM MATERIAL DEPOSITED THERE-ON.
