CT Company Makes Practical Plasma Converter
It sounds as if someone just dropped a tricycle into a meat grinder. Im sitting inside a narrow conference room at a research facility in Bristol, Connecticut, chatting with Joseph Longo, the founder and CEO of Startech Environmental Corporation. As we munch on takeout Subway sandwiches, a plate-glass window is the only thing separating us from the adjacent lab, which contains a glowing caldera of plasma three times as hot as the surface of the sun. Every few minutes theres a horrific clanking noisegrinding followed by a thunderous voomp, like the sound a gas barbecue makes when it first ignites. Is it supposed to do that? I ask Longo nervously. Yup, he says. Thats normal. Posted by: Anonymoose 2007-02-18 |
