Patent attributes
A plasma generator, comprising a dielectric tube having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is sealed, but for a gas inlet; at least one first dielectric disk located within the dielectric tube, wherein the first dielectric disk includes at least one first dielectric aperture formed therein; a first ring electrode that at least partially surrounds the at least one first dielectric aperture and is electrically coupled to a power supply; at least one second dielectric disk located proximate the second end of the dielectric tube, wherein the second dielectric disk includes at least one second dielectric aperture formed therein; and a second ring electrode that at least partially surrounds the at least one second dielectric aperture and is electrically coupled to the power supply. During use, the plasma generator produces at least one plasma plume that is launched into open air.
