Ball Lightning Events Explained as Self-Stable Spinning High-Density Plasma Toroids or Atmospheric Spheromaks

Spinning plasma toroids, or spinning spheromaks, are reported as forming in partial atmosphere during high-power electric arc experiments. They are a new class of spheromaks because they are observed to be stable in partial atmosphere with no confining external toroidal magnetic fields, and are obse...
