Optospectroscopic studies of plasma jets in powder sprayers 
have been made. It has been shown that the jet of the "Plasma-Technik 
AG" sprayer is a periodically pulsating formation similar to that 
generated by the two-jet plasma torch. A scheme of a plasmasonic reactor 
for treatment and synthesis of gaseous and condensed materials is 
proposed.
