Title:

Ball Lightning as Self-Organization Phenomenon

Date of publication:

Feb. 1995

Key words:

ball lightning, dust plasma, magnetic reconnection, spheromacs

Abstract:

The Ball lightning formation is considered as a process of self-organization in a cold dust plasma with electrical-chemical active dust particles. Such particles in their chemical reactions can generate electric and magnetic fields which can be responsible for the resilience property of the gas bubble. Two types of plasma ball formation are possible : electrostatic and magnetostatic ones. Their properties are discussed qualitatively
