Therefore, the total energy output of the PlasmaArcFlow Reactors is given by
E(mg) + E(heat) = 315 BTU/cf + 2, 254 BTU/cf = 2, 569 BTU/cf. (4.34)
It then follows that the energy efficiency of the PlasmaArcFlow reactors is underunity
for the case of maximal possible efficiency,

It is possible to show that, for the case of 50% efficiency (i.e., when 50% of
the original H and O recombine into water) the total energy output evidently
decreases. For detail, we refer the interested reader to Aringazin and Santilli [9].
4.8 Cleaning Fossil Fuel Exhaust with Magnegas
Additive
Electric power plants continue to attempt the cleaning of their atmospheric
pollution (see Figure 1) via the cleaning of their exhaust. Since the related
equipment is very expensive and notoriously inefficient, these are attempts literally
belonging to the past millennium. Nowadays, the exhaust of fossil fueled
electric power plants can be cleaned via cost competitive improvement of the
combustion.
It is known that, whether burning petroleum or coal, about 60% of the energy
in the original fuel is literally thrown through the fluke, and so is the relates cost,
due to the notoriously poor combustion.
It is also known in chemistry that hydrogen is the best additive to improve
combustion, with consequential improvement of the environmental quality of the
exhaust. In fact, hydrogen has the biggest flame temperature and speed among
all known fuels. Consequently, the injection of hydrogen as an additive in the
flame of fossil fuels burns the uncombusted component of the exhausts in a way
proportional to the used percentage of hydrogen. A reason hydrogen as currently
available has not (and cannot) be used as additive in fossil fueled electric power
plants is its prohibitive cost (that in the U.S.A. is of the order of 50 times the
cost of natural gas per same energy content, as recalled in Section 1.3).
Magnegas is the best additive for the cleaning of fossil fuel exhaust known to
the author 9 because:
