Nonequilibrium, atmospheric pressure plasma discharges are increasingly being used in various novel applications. In many of these applications, a nonthermal, large volume, atmospheric pressure discharge, which can be generated in a practical and economical way is sought. We present a novel method to produce such plasma. This method uses a similar configuration to the dielectric barrier discharge. However, instead of a dielectric, a resistive layer is used to cover at least one of the electrodes. This allows the operation of the discharge in either DC or AC (60 Hz) modes.
