It's hydrogen plasma [ hydrogen + ions] That is hydrogen without its electrons Interestingly photosynthesis works in a very similar way with electromagnetic oscillations [light 430nm & 662nm] exciting electrons to split water using ATP as a catalyst. (Hydrogen +ions recombine with CO2 in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose) Oxygen is released and source of all oxygen we breathe Microwave ovens cook food by exciting water molecules An H2O molecule moves in an electric field because its oxygen atom attracts its electrons more than its two hydrogen atoms, giving one side a negative charge and the other a positive charge.
