Abstract

A plasma generating device comprising: a cylindrical rotational electrode situated lengthwise on a rotating shaft connected to a motor, the rotational electrode disposed over a reservoir and having a contact portion extending into the reservoir; one or more static electrodes held in proximity to the rotational electrode to generate a plasma therebetween when a sufficient voltage difference exists between the static electrodes and the rotational electrode, the sufficient voltage difference created by a high voltage generator connected directly or indirectly to the static electrodes, the rotational electrode, or both; and a dielectric material situated between the rotational electrode and the static electrodes, the dielectric material having a sufficient thickness to prevent a short-circuit between the rotational electrode and the static electrodes yet a minimal thickness to allow the plasma to be generated between the rotational electrode and the static electrodes.
