The present invention provides a plasma generator provided with a mixing circuit, said plasma generator being reduced in size and capable of being easily installed in a restricted space inside an engine. The present invention is a heat engine or a plasma generator provided with an ignition coil for supplying a discharge voltage, an electromagnetic wave oscillator that generates electromagnetic waves, a mixer that mixes energy for discharge with electromagnetic wave energy, and a spark plug that causes a discharge and introduces the electromagnetic wave energy to a reaction region. The discharge and electromagnetic wave energy are used together in the reaction region, wherein a combustion reaction or plasma reaction is carried out, triggering a combustion reaction or plasma reaction. The plasma generator is characterized in that part of a member that constitutes the spark plug is used as part of a member that forms the mixer. |
