Has there been any research into re heating the output gas by ionization? many of the unwanted components which form the tars on condensation would be reduced or combined with hydrogen, forming a cleaner product.The energy input could be augmented with the use of waste heat from the engine. The exhaust manifold would provide much of the needed heat energy required for ionization to take place. Similar to the heaters used in a fluorescent tube.

As I have previously posted to the list the electrical power input to the AlterNRG process is about 2.5% of the total heat input allowing for the conversion to electricity. In the AlterNRG scheme you can think of the plasma heated bed like a high temperature hot plate that maintains temperature for conversion at the grate and melts the ash fraction which is recovered as slag through the bed. Because you have a hot bed it allows you to control gasification air more closely and make a higher quality gas. It is still fundamentally an updraft gasifier but with an externally controllable slagging bed.

More specifically, "Plasma energy In" vs "Chemical energy Out"... Thanks!
