High yields and high concentrations of hydrogen and acetylene were achieved at a low energy cost level in atmospheric-pressure non-thermal plasma with a rotated electrode, feeding with pure methane in this paper. The preliminary investigation on effects of the tubular electrode diameter, electrode distance and methane flow were made.
