Plasma Torch Question For Develop

[macallan25]

Just on holidays, talking with my good friend today in B.C. Trickle Creek today! He was a well travelled Power Engineer, now retired. Worked around the world - Saudi Arabia, Trinidad and Tobago, New Orleans, and Canada. He was asking how these plasma torches operate. I explained they are a bolt on replacement for the burners on diesel furnaces; cutting GHG emissions. He replied that something powers the plasma torch, figuring oxygen, steam or LNG. High cost if oxygen supply required. Now, full disclosure, I should know more about this, but will kindly ask developbc or another investor with knowledge (kingscorpion?) for some insight here. My friend figures these torches requires a steady stream of oxygen, steam or LNG to fuel the plasma torches. I showed him the press release from July 2 and he is quite curious about the tech. Any thoughts? Would really appreciate any insight to share with him. I'm still learning myself about everything Peter is up to. It's just fascinating. Crazy what we r sitting on. We r so close to +$10!!! Long and strong!!!

Hi Macallan25....I think there are few engineers invested in PYR that might be better suited to answer but for now I am just going to machine gun click and paste as I do remember reading something in that regard but can't remember off top of my head...maybe this might help in the right direction. I am positive your buddy who is an engineer will soon realize how incredible PYR propriertary tech

They could use air, oxygen, nitrogen argon or mixes thereof....depends on the application I suspect.

sounds like your friend is assuming the gas is the energy source. Electricity is the energy source. Different neutral gases can be used with different effects to produce, for lack of a better word, a plasma flame. It certainly is a lot more scientific than that but this is how I explain it to people without a technical background. There is a lot of stuff on the net to explain what plasma actually

Very nice MakitRain1...great to have someone w some engineer/tech background amongst us...I was just emailing my engineering friend when I re read the post and realized what you just discerned quickly..."the power source" is definitely electricity whereas O2 supply would not be required...thanks so much for your quick and concise easy to follow answer!!

Found this in a paper on using plasma torches in cement kilns.... Hope this helps. (PYRs Mr Carabin is mentioned.)\ https://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/257463/257463.pdf The choice of gas in a plasma torch is mainly based on gas enthalpy, reactivity and cost.The most common gases are argon, helium, nitrogen, air and hydrogen. To get a stablearc, the plasma gas flow rate and the
