1. A combustion flame-plasma hybrid reactor system comprising:

  • a reaction chamber;

    a combustion torch positioned to direct a flame into the reaction chamber;

    a plurality of electrically conductive solid reactant structures, a set of the plurality of electrically conductive solid reactant structures electrically coupled to a power supply and comprising a different reactant than another set of the plurality of electrically conductive solid reactant structures electrically coupled to another power supply, wherein the set of the plurality of electrically conductive solid reactant structures and the another set of the plurality of electrically conductive solid reactant structures are positioned on substantially the same longitudinal position relative to the reaction chamber; and

    a plurality of reactant feed assemblies configured to electrically energize at least a portion of the plurality of electrically conductive solid reactant structures to form a plasma and to feed the plurality of electrically conductive solid reactant structures into the plasma to form at least one product.
