A high-powered microwave torch provides a tunable cavity to move between a first and second mode for ignition and steady-state operation. The tuning may be accomplished by adjusting end plates of a cylindrical cavity consistent with a desired TE01δ resonant mode. A swirl promoting spacer system allows cantilevered coaxial tubes to accommodate gas flow rates, and a junction between the tube assembly and a plasma nozzle provides a compression engagement resistant to temperature-expansion induced stress.
A recycling loop nitric acid generator uses a high-pressure nitrogen and oxygen loop with high-temperature plasma to produce concentrated nitric acid suitable for making transportable ammonium nitrate organic fertilizer from scavenged ammonia from manure.
Any antenna for coupling energy into plasma contained magnetically within a fusion chamber employs a loop surrounding the chamber and having at least one dielectric segment operating to suppress undesirable fringing electrostatic fields.

A portable, optical spectrometer provides an extended ignition arc allowing high-voltage components to be contained within a protective housing. Automatic plasma initiation is managed through an optical plasma detector distinguishing plasma contained in the plasma region from breakout plasma. A negative pressure vent receives gases received from the plasma and cools these gases prior to receipt by a remote vent fan through a conduit having sheathing air bleed openings around the vent mixing with other cooling air streams for the electronics. A spring-biased sample jet tube holder allows ready removal and replacement of the sample jet tube while preserving proper alignment with the plasma region.
A zero emission waste system comprising a waste treatment unit that couples to a facility. The waste treatment unit is onsite with the facility either within the facility or local to the facility for treating waste produced by the facility. Alternatively, the waste treatment unit can be mobile that is designed to couple to the facility for waste disposal. The waste treatment unit comprises a gasification reactor, a syngas treatment unit, and a synthetic fuel generator for treating and converting waste. The synthetic fuel generator comprises an electrolysis unit and a liquid fuel synthesis unit. The waste treatment unit converts the waste to synthetic fuel, gaseous fuel, oxygen, heat, slag, and other components that are useful to the facility or other entities. The waste treatment system uses carbon dioxide generated during a waste conversion process thereby producing substantially zero emissions and eliminating waste that could be harmful to the environment.

A plasma torch employs a dielectric resonator excited at separate locations with phase shifted signals to provide more uniform current flow through the resonator. High-power operation is possible while protecting the dielectric by using a combination segregated spiral flow and linear flow cooling air at different rates. Microwave leakage from the plasma resonant chamber is contained by conductive metal chokes.
