Research Abstract	New composite nano powders of Zr-Ti-N, V-Ti-N were prepared by nitrogen thermal plasma and the characteristic of obtained powders were clarified by STEM observation, XRD, Chemical analysis. The Mg nanopowder was also produced by nitrogen thermal plasma. We found that the nanopowder of Mg vigorously react with water at room temperature produce hydrogen and generation of hydrogen continued all the Mg was consumed.
