Abstract
An arc heater method and system for producing a high energy source characterized by a housing forming a mixing compartment, a plurality of arc heaters radially mounted on the housing and communicating with the mixing compartment, a reactor communicating with the downstream end of the mixing compartment with a reduced opening therebetween, inlet means at the downstream end of the compartment for introducing an oxidizable metal compound into the reactor, and means within the mixing compartment for flowing superheated gases from the arc heaters at the upstream end of the compartment and into the reactor.
