The fusion glossary defines plasma as this.
Quote:

plasma - A state of matter characterized by un-bound negative electrons and positive ions which may conduct electrical current. Plasma is often called the fourth state of matter, along with the other states of matter: solids, liquids and gases. It is estimated that more than 99% of matter in the universe exists as plasma; examples include stars, nebulae, and interstellar particles. The temperature of a typical plasma may be 100,000 K or more and vary in particle density from about 106/m3 (solar wind) to 1030/m3 (core of star). Plasmas are relatively rare natural occurrences on earth, but many applications of plasma discharges have been found. Examples of plasma can be found in lightning, the Aurora borealis, fluorescent and neon-type lights, arc welding, and machines built to study nuclear fusion.




I do know that plasma energy is pure energy like the Marfa lights in Marfa Texas. I don't see how the engine would work. OK soooo the gas gets put under extreme psi then gets stripped so that it would become plasma gas. Thats fine and dandy in theroy but how are you going to contain the plasma energy seing how it will be highly electrically charged in a gas form in a gasoline fuel system and how in the heak are you going to burn it. It was my understanding that the only thing being used with plasma for energy was fusion. This seems very dangerous to try and form plasma in a gasoline system. It takes only one BIG boom to end all the research.
