NOVELTY - A plasmatron (10) fuel (12) converter has first electrode (20) having electrically conductive structure, second electrode (24) disposed with respect to the first electrode to create at least 2 boundaries of plasma discharge region (26), power supply (18) connected to the electrodes, and at least 2 flow establishing mechanism for establishing at least 2 fluid flows.    USE - Producing hydrogen-rich gas (82) (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus is provided with enhanced flow control mechanism for improved operation.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The plasmatron fuel converter comprises first electrode having electrically conductive structure; second electrode disposed with respect to the first electrode to create at least 2 boundaries of plasma discharge region; power supply connected to the electrodes to provide voltage and current to generate plasma discharge within the discharge region to initiate a reaction of a reactive mixture (16); and at least 2 flow establishing mechanism for establishing at least 2 fluid flows in addition to the reactive mixture in a vicinity of the plasma discharge region. The flow establishing mechanisms are adapted to provide each of the fluid flows with decoupled flow control.    An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method of plasma fuel conversion comprising positioning the first and second electrodes such that a gap exists between them and a plasma discharge region is formed; injecting a reactive mixture into the discharge region; supplying power to provide voltage and current to generate plasma discharge within the discharge region and produce an ignited reactive mixture; and introducing at least 2 fluid flows in addition to the reactive mixture in the vicinity of the plasma discharge region.
