1. A system comprising:
a) a set of electrodes separated to form an open circuit;
b) an injection system to inject a conductive material and H2O between said electrodes to form a closed circuit; wherein said conductive material comprises a metal and a metal oxide;
c) a source of electrical power connected to said set electrodes to form a current and voltage in said closed circuit; and wherein the current and voltage in said closed circuit and conductive material is capable of initiating a plasma forming reaction when H2O is present as nascent molecules;
d) a regeneration system to regenerate the conductive material from products of said plasma forming reaction; wherein said regenerated conductive material is provided to said injection system loading between said electrodes after said plasma forming reaction; and
e) a power converter to convert light and/or thermal output from the plasma to electrical and/or thermal power;
wherein the metal is Sn.
