<p>The energizer (10) includes an electric discharge apparatus (14) for creating an electric discharge and a focusing mechanism (40) for focusing the electric discharge on a fluid to be energized. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the focusing mechanism takes the form of a dielectric core (40) which is constructed and arranged to focus the electric discharge into a passage formed about the periphery of the core (58) thereby enabling the use of energy levels substantially higher than would be possible without the focusing means (40). A method of energizing a fluid is taught which includes introducing the fluid into a confined region, providing an electric discharge for energizing the fluid and focusing the discharge into the confined region.</p> |
