A method other than combustion or Nuclear Reaction whereby an electric arc, or laser beam or other electrically induced medium is passed through the fluid so that the molecules thereof are caused directly to agitate producing both heat and kinetic energy. The electrical energy required to initiate agitation of the molecules may be produced either by, a generator mounted on the device on which the agitation takes place or be provided from a separate source.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 22, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 22, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 22, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
