1. An industrial device for the heating of a fluid to a temperature capable of the generation of plasma comprising; a casing having an intake end and an exhaust end, an intake cap affixed to the intake end and an exhaust cap affixed to the exhaust end, wherein the intake cap comprises a fluid inlet allowing for the introduction of a first fluid into and through the casing and the exhaust cap comprises an exhaust port, at least one primary electrically charged heating element configured as a double helix comprising a first terminal delineating a first coil in a clockwise direction away from the first terminal around a central axis to a member apex where the member delineates a second coil in a counter-clockwise direction towards the first terminal ending at a point adjacent to the first terminal thereby forming a second terminal wherein the first coil and the second coil do not come into contact and define a void within the first and second coil and along the central axis placed within the casing, a refractory lining within the casing surrounding and in contact with the at least one primary heating element wherein the first fluid passes from the fluid inlet through and around the at least one primary heating element and the refractory lining wherein the intake cap further comprises a fluid distribution manifold and at least one water line communicating with and projecting from the manifold to specifically positioned openings along the outer surface of the casing, allowing for the introduction of water into and through the casing and through the refractory lining wherein water passes from the water inlet and is distributed to and through the refractory lining and into contact with the at least one primary heating element efficiently picking up heat from the at least one primary heating element and the refractory lining and thereby generating a superheated steam and a plasma.
