Abstract

A water purification device and method are described. The device comprises at least two compartments separated by a wall, wherein the wall comprises a small hole. An electrode is placed in each compartment and an alternating current is applied across them; the high current density in the hole boils the water and the current ionizes the water vapor into plasma, which then purifies the water; however, the current density outside the hole in the compartments is not high enough to boil the water. A flow control module causes water to flow through the hole at a particular flow rate. As the water flows out of the hole, it cools down due to contact with the water in the second compartment.
