That's *really* hard to read. The gist of it seems to be this part:
As recalled earlier, underwater electric arcs between carbon-base electrodes are quite efficient in the separation of water into its atomic constituents and the vaporization of the carbon-base electrodes, resulting in a plasma of mostly ionized atoms of H, O and C at about 7,000 degrees F. Since the H and O atoms remain in the presence of the arc, they recombine into water via a locally implosive process, thus implying a very low efficiency in the production of a combustible gas, as indicated earlier. Moreover, the great affinity between C and O implies the formation of CO that, when remaining in the presence of the electric arc, is oxidized into CO2, thus implying a decrease of the calorific content of the gas (since CO2 is not combustible), as well as a prohibitive content of green house gases in the combustible gas itself prior to combustion.
These problems have been resolved by b>Santilli's PlasmaArcFlow™ Recyclers that are based on the in flowing of the liquid feedstock through the electric arc, thus continuously removing the plasma immediately following its formation. This process evidently prevents H and O to recombine into water thus implying an increase of the efficiency that, as we shall see, can be of a factor of ten under proper technological requirements. The flow of the liquid through the electric arc also prevents the oxidation of CO into CO2, with consequential increase of the calorific content of the gas as well as the elimination of the green house gas.The above new process has been used for the construction of two recyclers:
TOTAL PLASMA-ARC-FLOW™ RECYCLERS (patented and international patents pending). They are based on the principle of continuously recirculating the liquid feedstock through the electric arc until the entire liquid is transformed into a clean burning combustible gas, plus a small amount of solid precipitates. in addition, the chemical reaction underlying the formation of H2 and CO are very esoenergetic, as we shall see. Therefore, Santilli's PlasmaArcFlow™ Recyclers produce 'two' forms of energy: a combustible gas and heat acquired by the liquid feedstock..
I'm not chemist enough to know whether this would actually work as it says, but if it does, it's still producing a lot of carbon monoxide (CO), which is a pollutant. Maybe the system has some way of converting that to something else, but I'm not up to reading it to find out. |
