1. A method for extracting elements from input gases comprising:
receiving the input gases into an electromagnetic plasma separator;
heating air to at least 8000 degrees Kelvin, via a plasma combustor, to a form a gas plasma elements state;
sending the gas plasma elements state through a series of concentrated super conducting magnets M (M1, M2, . . . , Mi, . . . , Mn), i>1, which act as targeted plasma separators;
extracting, by the each conducting magnet Mi in the series of concentrated super conducting magnets M (M1, M2, . . . , Mi, . . . , Mn), a corresponding individual plasma state element Si from the gas plasma elements state; and
expelling, the corresponding individual plasma state element Si, into a separation arrangement.
