Controlling Plasma To Revolutionize Energy Generation And Storage

Controlling Plasma To Revolutionize Energy Generation And Storage - Technology News - redOrbit: "Scientists at the University of Missouri have devised a new way to create and control plasma that could transform American energy generation and storage.



Randy Curry, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Missouri’s College of Engineering, and his team developed a device that launches a ring of plasma at distances of up to two feet. Although the plasma reaches a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun, it doesn’t emit radiation and is completely safe in proximity to humans."
