A system and method are provided for the separation of hydrogen from natural gas feedstock to form hydrocarbon radicals. Aspects of the system include perpendicular magnetic and electric fields, a method of radical formation that separates hydrogen from the reaction process, and a separation method based on centrifugal forces and phase transitions. The gases rotate in the chamber due to the Lorentz force without any mechanical motion. Rotation separates gases and liquids by centrifugal force. The lighter species are collected from the mid region endpoint of the apparatus and fed back for further reaction. A new concept of controlled turbulence is introduced to mix various species. A novel magnetic field device is introduced comprised of two specially magnetized cylinders. A novel control of temperatures, pressures, electron densities and profiles by, RF, microwaves, UV and rotation frequency are possible especially when atomic, molecular, cyclotron resonances are taken into account. The electrodes can be coated with catalysts; the entire apparatus can be used as a new type of chemical reactor.

One of the chief purposes of researchers in the field of chemistry is to perform chemical reactions at high rates; a method that can be adopted to achieve such goal is to perform reactions in magnetic solvents. Being passed through the Solvents Magnetizing Apparatus (SMA) magnetizes the solvent, and the magnetic property remains intact for a few days, while most chemical reactions are done in less than one day. It should be taken into consideration that the magnetic solvent is different from the Zeeman effect in chemistry. This technology is widely used in performing chemical processes of most chemical reactions.

Disclosed herein is a solar thermochemical reactor comprising an outer member, an inner member disposed within an outer member, wherein the outer member surrounds the inner member and wherein the outer member has an aperture for receiving solar radiation and wherein an inner cavity and an outer cavity are formed by the inner member and outer member and a reactive material capable of being magnetically stabilized wherein the reactive material is disposed in the outer cavity between the inner member and the outer member.

Parahydrogen Induced Polarization was employed to prepare nuclear singlet state between methylene and methyl protons in propane gas. Low-field MRI preserves this singlet state with much longer T.sub.S=4.70.5 s. Spin-Lock Induced Crossing (SLIC) transforms singlet state in observable nuclear magnetization suitable for MRI with sub-millimeter and sub-second spatial and temporal resolution respectively with signal enhancement>10,000 times. Long-lived spin states created in hyperpolarized propane-d.sub.6 gas can be detected directly at 0.0475 T. This long lifetime and non-toxic nature of propane gas could be useful for bio-imaging applications including potentially pulmonary low-field MRI. The feasibility of high-resolution low-field 2D gradient-echo MRI was demonstrated with 0.880.88 mm.sup.2 spatial and 0.7 s temporal resolution respectively at 0.0475 T. Propane is a non-toxic gas, and therefore, these results enable low-cost high-resolution high-speed MRI of gases for imaging of lungs.
