1. A method of making a fuel fluid, the method comprising:
- providing a first working fluid of oxygen gas;
exposing the first working fluid to a first high voltage electric field to produce a first fluid plasma;
providing a second working fluid of water vapor;
exposing the second working fluid to a second high voltage electric field to produce a second fluid plasma;
contacting the second fluid plasma with the first fluid plasma to form a fluid plasma mixture;
transporting the fluid plasma mixture to a heat exchange device;
cooling the fluid plasma mixture using the heat exchange device to form a fuel fluid; and
collecting the fuel fluid.

Abstract
Methods of making a fuel fluid are disclosed. A first working fluid and a second working fluid may be provided. The first working fluid may be exposed to a first high voltage electric field to produce a first fluid plasma, and the second working fluid may be exposed to a second high voltage electric field to produce a second fluid plasma. The first fluid plasma and the second fluid plasma may be contacted to form a fluid plasma mixture, which is transported to a heat exchange device. The fluid plasma mixture may be cooled to form a fuel fluid; and the fuel fluid may be collected.
