The present disclosure provides for a plasma reactor to generate power and novel hydrogen species and compositions of matter comprising new forms of hydrogen via the catalysis of atomic hydrogen and to generate a plasma and a source of light, the reactor comprising: a plasma forming energy cell for the catalysis of atomic hydrogen to form novel lower-energy hydrogen species and compositions of matter comprising new forms of lower-energy hydrogen, a source of catalyst for catalyzing the reaction of atomic hydrogen to form the lower-energy hydrogen and release energy, a source of atomic hydrogen, and a source of intermittent or pulsed power to at least partially maintain the plasma.
