<p>Plasma ignition and cooling methods are described. A method can include providing a dielectric toroidal vessel (1510), at least one ignition electrode (1530) adjacent to the vessel, and a heat sink having multiple segments (1530) urged toward the vessel by a spring-loaded mechanism, and a thermal interface between the vessel and the heat sink. Another method can include providing a gas having a flow rate and a pressure and directing a portion of the flow rate of the gas into a vessel channel (1541-1542). The gas is ignited in the channel while the remaining portion of the flow rate is directed away (1571;1552) from the channel (1541-1542).</p> |
