Plasma TV Technology Could Produce Clean Energy

The process that lights up big-screen plasma TV displays could also help produce ultra-clean fuels, according to research presented this week at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The research describes a small, low-tech, inexpensive device called a GlidArc reactor that uses electrically-charged clouds of gas called "plasmas" to produce clean fuels from waste materials. One is a diesel fuel that releases 10 times less air pollution than its notoriously sooty, smelly conventional counterpart. read more
