A plasma generating system (2) is provided. The plasma generating system (2) includes: a pair of electrodes (12a, 12b) having distal ends; an electrode holder (14) holding the pair of electrodes (12a, 12b); a gate (18a, 18b) having a surface on which the electrode holder (14) is slidably mounted and adapted to be controlled by sliding the electrode holder (14) on the surface; and a resilient member (20a, 20b) secured to the gate (18a, 18b) and adapted to generate a force to close the opening. The distal ends of the electrodes (12a, 12b) are adapted to move into an opening of the gate (18a, 18b) as the electrode holder (14) slides along a direction on the surface and adapted to generate an electric arc (28) to thereby ignite plasma in a gas. |
