1. An apparatus for growing nano-clusters, the apparatus comprising:
a pair of electrodes separated by an electrode pair spacing; a field generation module that generates a corona discharge across the electrodes, the corona discharge generating an electromagnetic field near the electrodes, a voltage potential across the electrodes comprising a medium voltage of between about 1 kilo Volt (“kV”) and 35 kV, the field generation module comprising
a medium voltage module that generates a medium voltage waveform, the medium voltage waveform transmitted to the electrodes to generate the corona discharge;a broad frequency generation module that generates a broad spectrum of frequencies within the medium voltage waveform, the broad spectrum of frequencies comprising a switching frequency and a plurality of harmonic frequencies higher than the switching frequency; and a raw material feeder module that feeds particles of a raw material through the electromagnetic field adjacent to the corona discharge occurring between the electrodes and in a direction parallel to a line between the electrodes where the corona discharge occurs, the electromagnetic field comprising the broad spectrum of frequencies is operative to separate at least a portion of the raw material fed through the electromagnetic field into free atoms. |
