Abstract
Method of generating an atmospheric pressure glow discharge plasma (APG), wherein said plasma is generated in a discharge space formed between at least one first electrode surface and at least one second electrode surface. The method comprises at least the steps of supplying a gaseous substance to said discharge space and powering said first and said second electrode surface for generating said plasma. Said step of supplying a gaseous substance to the discharge space comprises providing at least one intermediate gas supply stream from at least one of said first and second electrode surfaces. The step of supplying said gaseous substance to the discharge space further comprises providing a main gas supply stream for forcing the at least one intermediate gas supply stream in a direction along the first and second electrode surfaces.
