Generally, most of the setups of plasma jet adopted rare gases (e.g., helium and argon) as the working gas. The drawback of using rare gases is that it cannot be continuously used as the gas tank volume is limited, and the cost of using rare gases to yield plasma jet is also higher. Thus, a plasma j...
