Abstract: An apparatus comprises a reaction volume, a reactant or fuel nozzle, an oxidizer introducer, a sensor, a controller, and electrodes. The controller may comprise a power controller, a microcontroller, a sensor interface, a waveform generator, and amplifiers connected to the electrodes. The controller may control an electric current to the electrodes and produce an electric field proximate to a combustion boundary. The electric field may influence the movement of charged species in the reaction volume. The sensors may provide information to the controller, which information the controller may use to change parameters such as the rate of introduction of the reactant and/or oxidizer and/or of parameters of the electric current and electric field, such as the waveform of the electric current, the voltage of the electric current, the location of the electric field within the reaction volume. Reduction in undesirable reaction products may thereby be achieved.
