A high pressure induction plasma system of the flowing type includes structure defining a plasma chamber, an electrical coil surrounding the plasma chamber for creating an intense electromagnetic field within the plasma chamber, means to supply a gas for flow through the chamber under at least 10 atmospheres of pressure and conversion to plasma condition under the influence of the electromagnetic field, a flow restriction structure spaced at least one chamber diameter downstream from the electrical coil and structure defining a stabilizing volume between the coil and the flow restriction. This stabilizing volume provides aerodynamic and electrical compensation and allows flowing operation of the system at pressures of 50 atmospheres and above.
