Thank you Peter all very interesting, confirms some of the things I have seen in one of my reactors, H2 + CO2 = CH4. When I ran the reactor without any gas input, only air, just to see that the plasma was working (runs on DBD's), there was a distinct lack of NOx gases produced at particular frequencies. Normally a huge amount of O3 and turning to NOx gases, I really did not notice heat as I was not looking for it with air, H2 and CO2 is another matter, it is highly exothermic in the presence of nickel and has to be kept below 400c or you get thermal runaway until it destroys the nickel Now looking at ORC/refrigeration and generator to control the temperature and use that heat to generate power for the H2 production also the exiting CH4 has to be cooled and compressed giving more power potential regards Mike
