Process in Big-Screen Plasma TVs Can Produce Ultra-Clean Fuel

The process that lights up big-screen plasma TV displays is getting a new life in producing ultra-clean fuels, according to a report presented March 22 at the 239th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). It described a small, low-tech, inexpensive device called a GlidArc reactor that uses electrically-charged clouds of gas called “plasmas” to produce in three steps super-clean fuels from waste materials. One is a diesel fuel that releases 10 times less air pollution than its notoriously sooty, smelly conventional counterpart.

“Low-tech and low cost are the guiding principles behind the GlidArc reactors,” said Albin Czernichowski, Ph.D., who presented the report. “Almost all the parts could be bought at your local hardware or home supply store. We use common ‘plumber’ piping and connections, for instance, and ordinary home insulation. Instead of sophisticated ceramics, we use the kind of heat-resistant concrete that might go into a home fireplace. You could build one in a few days for about $10,000.”

Czernichowski noted that the reactors, about the size of a refrigerator, are custom designed to clean dirty gases produced by a low-tech gasification of locally available wastes, biomass, or other resources to produce clean mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas to synthesize biofuels. Corn farming regions, for instance, could use corn stover (leaves and stalks left in the field after harvest) as the raw material. In urban areas, waste cooking oil from restaurants could be the raw material. In regions that produce biodiesel fuel, glycerol could be converted into clean fuels. Czernichowski pointed out production of biofuels results in huge amounts of glycerol byproduct — 200 pounds for every 2,000 pounds of biodiesel. The glycerol is expensive to refine to the high purity needed for commercial use. GlidArc reactors could transform glycerol into a clean synthesis gas (the carbon monoxide and hydrogen) for production of fuels, he said.

A professor with the University of Orleans, France, Czernichowski realized in 1986 that a branch of science called non-equilibrium cold plasma could be used to produce new transportation fuels that are less polluting than their conventional counterparts as they lack harmful substances found in traditional transportation fuels.

The technology gets it name from the use of a gliding arc of electricity to that produces a plasma inside the reactor. The plasma allows chemical reactions to occur at dramatically reduced temperatures. Gases from heating (pyrolyse or gasification) biomass or glycerol, for instance, become clean and chemically active, and this allows for the transformation of those materials into clean fuels.

“The main advantage of such biobased fuels that the GlidArc Technology can create is that they constitute “drop-in replacements” for fossil Diesel oil, gasoline or kerosene, and no modifications are needed in engines, vehicles and distribution systems,” Czernichowski said. “The biofuels can also be used as additives to various types of engine fuels to improve certain fuel properties. Another important advantage, of course, is their much lower toxicity for mankind and the environment compared to conventional fuels.”

  17. A new small, inexpensive, low-tech device can use plasmas to develop clean fuels from waste material. This new device is called the GlidArc because it uses a gliding arc of electricity that produces plasma inside of the reactor. The Glid arc is simply made, and can be built for a price of $10,000 dollars. The reactors are around the size of a refrigerator, and they are specially created to clean dirty gases produced by low-tech gasification. The GildArc is capable of producing a diesel fuel that is ten times less pollutant than it’s counterpart.

  18. this gerator would convert glycerol into a clean fuel. we get 200 pounds of fual for ever 2000pounds of biomass. it is made out of coman house hold objects. and can be made for $10000.

  19. i do not think TV’s have anything to do with gas. This is coming from the title alone. Low-tech and low cost are the guiding principles behind the GlidArc reactors. Is this what the person who said it believes on his own or did he hear this from somebody else. why would you want to spend $10,000 on making a TV. when you can go to best buy or rent-a-center or somewhere like that to get a TV for ALOT cheaper.

  20. The plasmas in plasma screen tvs are being used to create ultra-clean biofuels like diesel. GlidArc reactors are easy to make and cost only $10,000. They create less air pollution, they can clean glasses, and they are about the size of a refrigerator. Much waste that comes from resturaunts are used to power this reactor. They can also turn glycerol into a clean fuel. This reacter replaces most fuels and is great for the environment.

  32. The same plasma that makes your TV have a great resolution and great picture is the same plasma used in the GlidArc, a new revolutionary generater that uses electrically-charged clouds of gas to create super clean fuels from readily availiable liquids and wastes such as: corn stover, cooking oils, glycerol. Not only is it creating clean fuels that could save our planet from more pollutants but it can do so cheaply, without taking up any more space than a refrigerator. The cost of a single generater is only $10,000, which is considerably less than others that produce more fumes less effieccintly.

  33. This article is basically about how the technology used in T.Vs can be used to make clean fuel. The same thing that lights up a plasma TV is being changed into a device called a GlidArc reactor. It is a replacement for other fuels and gas. Using the GlidArc is easy and inexpensive. In conclusion, the GlidArc will help change the world.

    According to the ACS, or American Chemical Society.When process that lights up a large plasma TV set it can produce ultra-clean fuels.Its possible because of a cheap device called a GlidArc reactor. It has three steps to produce clean fuel. One is a diesel fuel that realeses less air pollution than regular fuel. It was officaly produced on March 22nd.

It’s been found that the process for making big-screen plasma televisions can be used to produce ultra clean fuels like a new diesel fuel that’s much cleaner and alot less sooty that the original that we are using today. The guideline principles for this process are low cost and low-tech. These kind of discoveries are what we need for the economy and the world even. Even corn fuels and/or leftover oils that all the restaurants throw out could be used as fuel.

Especially with how it effects gas prices more then anything.The glidarcs are used to clean fuels which can help with bio products to make into diesel kerosene or gasoline. If this new technology is put into use it could also clean leftover oils from restaurants or corn fuels to use for fuel, introducing a new way to recycle, good for the environment and americans pockets. This is truely a breakthrough in technology, and science.
