1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a reaction chamber including one or more pairs of electrodes configured to generate a series of electric arcs to synthesize a reactant gas containing at least nitrogen and oxygen to a product gas containing nitric oxide, the reaction chamber being at least partially positioned within a tube into which the product gas is delivered;

    a sensor configured to measure one or more characteristics of a flow of a gas in the tube;

    an oxygen sensor being configured to measure a concentration of oxygen in the reactant gas; and

    a controller in communication with the one or more pairs of electrodes, the oxygen sensor, and the sensor, the controller being configured to initiate the series of electric arcs based on the one or more characteristics of the flow of the gas in the tube and the concentration of oxygen in the reactant gas to minimize a concentration of NO2 in the product gas.
