Joseph Longo, the founder and CEO of Startech Environmental Corporation has developed a Plasma Converter which can turn the world’s most dangerous and toxic waste into clean usable energy. The new technology has become a viable alternative energy source for homes, transportation and space travel.
It can reduce garbage to its molecular components using plasma. It fits inside a 2 car garage and took 20 years to create. Through plasma gasification it can consume almost any garbage or toxic waste.
Inside a sealed vessel made of stainless steel and filled with a stable gas-either pure nitrogen or, as in this case, ordinary air-a 650-volt current passing between two electrodes rips electrons from the air, converting the gas into plasma. Current flows continuously through this newly formed plasma, creating a field of extremely intense energy very much like lightning. The radiant energy of the plasma arc is so powerful; it disintegrates trash into its constituent elements by tearing apart molecular bonds.
The byproducts left are an obsidian-like glass which can apparently be used as raw materials for any number of applications. They site bathroom tiles and high-strength asphalt etc. It can not break down nuclear waste however.
This promising new technology straight out of Star Trek holds out the promise of making landfills and other troublesome toxic storage sites a thing of the past and with further research.
