The present invention is to provide a device for activating a substance, which is a flexible sheet that is available regardless of the shape of each of the device that has a substance to be activated inside. The member for activating a substance 1 of the present invention is flexible. The member for activating a substance 1 includes a metal layer 11 containing a metal with a redox potential of 0 V or less or an alloy of a metal with a redox potential of 0 V or less and a radiation generating layer 12 containing a mixture of a natural ore containing a radioactive substance with a radiolucent resin. The dose of radiation generated from the radiation generating layer 12 is from 0.02 Sv/h or more to 0.2 Sv/h or less. To enhance the flexibility, a radiation shielding layer that shields radiation generated from the radiation generating layer 12 is preferably unformed.

A system includes an afterburner including an afterburner duct that defines an afterburner channel. The afterburner is configured to receive input gas from a jet engine turbine into the channel and to output an exhaust gas resulting from combustion of fuel. The system includes a plurality of resonators electromagnetically coupled to at least one radio-frequency power source. Each resonator has a resonant wavelength, first and second conductors, and a dielectric between those conductors. Each resonator is configured such that, when that resonator is excited by the power source with a signal having a wavelength proximate to an odd-integer multiple of one-quarter of the resonant wavelength of that resonator, that resonator provides within the afterburner at least one of electromagnetic waves or a plasma corona proximate to that resonator. A first resonator further includes a fuel conduit having a fuel outlet configured to output fuel for mixing with the input gas.
