I'm using some of the research done by Drexel's Plasma Lab [0] as inspiration for the reactor design. There are lots of plasma reactors out there, in research as well as commercially available, but most of them are focused on breaking down gaseous or liquid matter. The research I've seen at Drexel was the first I've come across that focused on solid fuels. I have a friend who was an atomization engineer for a rocket fuel company who has some pretty good ideas for handling solid fuels that we're going to experiment with. But at least we know it is already possible. As far as the desulfurization and SOFC is concerned, we're not even close to that stage yet. Desulfurizers are pretty common, but most SOFC designs tend to be extremely large and heavy, more suitable for stationary generation. I'd like to work with NASA's Bi-Electrode Supported Cell concept, which has power densities suitable for transport applications [1], even better than most diesel engines. They are actively licensing the technology non-exclusively, so maybe we could get a license and produce it ourselves, but this is all bootstrapped so that is probably out of reach in the short term.
