This paper presents the results of an experimental study of plasma-assisted reforming of ethanol into molecular hydrogen in a modified tornado type electrical discharge. Plasma acts as a catalyst and initiates fast chain reactions that do not progress under normal conditions. Passivation of the electrodes in the discharge chamber during the discharge operation prevents their erosion and increases the working time of the reactor.
