OK, I've had a chance to read up on plasmas some more, and now understand a lot better. I also have a much healthier respect for them in terms of safety. I want to build a very rough plasma generator using a 2.45 Ghz plasmatron with a WR284 ( or WR430 ) simple tapered waveguide , hopefully...

Hi Thanks for your response. The main use would be ( eventually... ) alcohol reforming into hydrogen. I have done a fair bit of reading, but what escaped me was the understanding of the basic mechanism behind how it all worked. Most of what I could find was university/reserach papers but they...

I'm new to PF, I have an engineering background, but am trying to understand how microwave plasmas are generated. I'm trying to work out if a tuned microwave waveguide can create a plasma in a specific point in the waveguide say over 30 seconds as the microwave energy heats up the waveguide thus...
