PLASMA ARC TORCHES for Plasma Reactors and Plasma Furnaces

Plasma waste converters have me intrigued.  I know I saw a Canadian system on the web not too long ago.  The company called Startech, which was featured in the plasma waste converter post, no longer exists.  The founder died.  Nobody else in the company could carry on with the technology.

My searching on the web has netted the following finding:  there's a company in Canada that makes plasma arc torches.  It seems that this technology is similar to what Startech was doing.

In my studies of fusion energy, I learned about the relationship between electricity and temperature.

For example, in a typical television set, the amount of electricity to run it, if it were to become thermalized, would be enough to vaporize it.  It doesn't vaporize because it doesn't get converted into heat.  At least not that much heat.  It may be warm enough to the the touch to be noticeable, but certainly not enough to melt it, or vaporize it.

A plasma arc torch, on the other hand, does thermalize matter, and it will break it down chemically into its constituent elements.  Thus, most, if not all matter can be converted to plasma, and then collected after cooling as pure elements.  It seems that fact could be brought to bear in a useful way.  That's what plasma waste conversion is all about.
