Here a design is presented as a guide of modified waves and in the presence of a resonant magnetic field at atmospheric pressure for the formation of non-thermal plasma; the design seeks to obtain a prototype of micro-wave torch for the inactivation of volatile toxic substances [1], such as, in the conversion of methane and other hydro-carbons.
The viability of being in a magnetic field has been studied to be able to produce the Electron
Cyclotron Resonance ECR in conditions of atmospheric pressure [2].
