Keep in mind that with plasma you obtain UV and heat .. if you use copper wire you remove also oxygen from air forming copper oxide around the wire .. maybe is the same method used from meyer.. can be possible that EEC is in fact EOC (extraction oxygen circuit) formed only from copper wire resistor?

Do you use corona discharge in any of your other HV ionization stages? I can see copper wire being used for that.
Using a copper wire for the plasma arc stage, would it not get melted away due to the high heat over time?

Plasma in fact is only UV and heat togheter.. for that reason UV have an important part inside process.. of corse normally UV don't have enough force for dissociate water but maybe in sequence can be.. about meyer injector plug.. that is very similarry to old WFC but include also plug inside.. water fuel isn't burnable as some peoples think.. is only an ions mixture ready to react inside injector plug.. create and burn N2H4/N2O at the same time releasing thermal explosive energy .. on the same principle you can create NH3/N2O using water PH <7 and use directly inside engine.. plasma is needed for start reaction inside chamber? Maybe yes .. maybe not.. next information
An arc is a DC continuous electric stream and spark is an AC intermittent electric jump.
In an arc, two electrodes with a hundred or so volts across them are touched, and then drawn apart, and an arc forms.
In a spark, the potential difference across the electrodes is some thousands of volts, and it is not necessary to touch the electrodes together; rather, the electrical insulation of the air breaks down and a spark flies from one electrode to the other.
Long exposure time of a Jacobs Ladder Arc makes a nice Flame
By the way, the way a Jacob's Ladder works is that a high voltage arc heats and ionizes the air. Of course, hot air rises. Since the hot, ionized air is more conductive than the surrounding air, the arc follows the rising air and climbs up the gap between the two wires. When it reaches the wide gap at the top, the arc breaks and restarts at the bottom. Then the cycle repeats. You get an arc that continuously climbs up the gap and restarts at the bottom. With a long exposure, you get a motion blur, but also I think the camera picks up a little bit of a "ripple" effect because of the 60hz alternating current. This is 15,000 volts AC, supplied by a pair of neon tube transformers (the power supply in the background). colorful photos with Ultra Color 100 - Photo.net Classic Manual Cameras Forum
That is the technical distinction of an arc vs spark.
But with plasma, I have only really seen the discharge across some
electrodes as a plasma arc and not a plasma spark.

@ Wilbert, I asked many times - directly to Farrah Day.
The two lateral science articles I linked to answers just about every one
of your questions about Tungsten.
What kind of dissociation is explained in those articles.
When the Plug fires, some of the tungsten (A small quantity to be sure)
must vaporize. Dose this act as a catalyst in some way? Mabey?
OK Chem heads what would be the make up of Tungsten?
dissotation of molecules is endothermic process, needs heat. Tungsten arc does provide this heat.
Why tungsten? Other metall too?
regards
Wilbert
Well, your the first to get that in open forum.
Heat dissociation
Why tungsten? What do the articles talk about being IMPORTANT as
far as tungsten use?
So, it looks like the atomic nitrogen seeks 3 electrons to make nh3.
Tungsten and the plasma arc has multiple purposes or properties and one
is heat dissociation. There are others - just check those two articles.
Something mentioned as being important.
I think the pieces are coming together for anyone paying attention.

What kind of dissociation is explained in those articles.
Atoms of the gas (hydrogen) they recombine forming molecules of hydrogen and liberating heat previously absorbed.
The hydrogen envelope prevents oxidation both of the metal and the tungsten electrodes, and it
also reduces the risk of nitrogen pick-up
??????????

So it it helps a reaction but doesn't get changed itself, it's usually
referred to as being something very specific even though it may not be
technically considered that.
