A plasma generator is disclosed. In an embodiment a plasma generator includes a piezoelectric transformer subdivided into an input region and an output region in a longitudinal direction, wherein the piezoelectric transformer comprises an output-side end face facing away from the input region, wherein the plasma generator comprises a passive load arranged permanently in front of the output-side end face, and wherein the plasma generator is configured to generate non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma.

Plasma generator

An apparatus for producing a plasma including a control circuit which is electrically connected to a piezoelectric transformer in order to excite the piezoelectric transformer. A hand-held device that uses the apparatus. The piezoelectric transformer is constructed of several layers. The control circuit is implemented on a circuit board, and the piezoelectric transformer is held over the circuit board by means of a region of a first end. A high voltage is applied to a second free end of the piezoelectric transformer. The plasma is produced at atmospheric pressure.
