13. An apparatus for pyrolytic conversion of hydrocarbons into hydrogen and carbon, the apparatus comprising:
a reactor having a reactor space that comprises two electrodes that are spaced directly apart from one another in a flow direction of the hydrocarbons, such that the two electrodes are directly aligned with one another in the flow direction, wherein the two electrodes are electrically coupled to one another by a carbon bed, by means of which the reactor may be resistance-heated; and
a feeding apparatus for an inert gas, including an uninterrupted slot extending around an entire reactor cross section, installed in a region between the two electrodes.
