Abstract

Water is flowed inside main body section formed from an insulating material such that a specified space remains inside the main body section. Electrodes and are arranged along the outer walls of the main body section and voltage is applied to the electrodes. Processing gas present inside the main body section is plasmarized and plasma is emitted to the water flowing inside the main body section.

Claims (15)

1. A plasma emitting device comprising:

a tubular member formed from an insulating material;

a pair of electrodes arranged along an outer wall of the tubular member; and

a flow device that flows a liquid inside the tubular member such that a specified space remains inside the tubular member; wherein

plasma is emitted to the liquid flowing inside the tubular member by gas present in the specified space being plasmarized by voltage being applied to the pair of electrodes,

each of the electrodes includes multiple electrical discharge sections provided extending in a circumferential direction of the outer wall of the tubular member, each of the multiple electrical discharge sections connected by connecting sections that extend in the axis direction of the tubular member; and

the electrical discharge sections of one of the pair of electrodes and the electrical discharge sections of the other of the pair of electrodes are alternately spaced apart extending in the axis direction of the tubular member.

2. The plasma emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

an outlet that ejects the liquid of the flow device is provided inside the tubular member.

3. The plasma emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the plasma emitting device is provided with a bubble generating device for generating bubbles in the liquid that is flowed inside the tubular member.

4. The plasma emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the plasma emitting device is provided with a cover member formed of insulating material that covers the pair of electrodes arranged along outer wall of the tubular member.

5. The plasma emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the multiple electrical discharge sections and the connecting sections are vacuum deposited on the outer wall of the tubular member.
