A steam generator comprises a chamber having an inlet for water and an outlet for steam. Disposed in the chamber are first and second sets of interleaved electrodes, connected to respective poles of an electrical supply. The electrodes have tapered planar surfaces extending adjacent one another, with a cross sectional area which increases in a direction away from the inlet for water. The electrodes also have multiple apertures formed in the planar surfaces. The chamber is tapered complementally to the shape of the electrodes, and is mounted within a primary reservoir. The inlet for water is in liquid communication with the interior of the primary reservoir and the level of the liquid in the primary reservoir is maintained constant. <IMAGE> |
