On physical investigation of ball lightnings

Abstract

Explanations for the long lifetime of spherically symmetric objects in nature and the short lifetime of laboratory plasma are given. A qualitative description of the relativistic model of ball lightning is also given, which is a spherical electric region with strong electric and magnetic fields. The plasma temperature in the zone of the ball-lightning generation is measured by the spectroscopic method. A large ball lightning, the maximum diameter of which is equal to one meter and which stands in the region of its generation, is also registered after the formation and departure of a high-energy ball lightning. The reason for the low emissive power in the optical range characteristic for the atmospheric ball lightning is explained by the absence of electron transitions in the outer proton-containing shell. The absence of electrical breakdown at ultrahigh electric field between the core and the outer shell of the ball lightning and its destruction at the moment when the resulting force becomes nonzero are also explained.

Electromagnetic-Wave Mechanism of Formation and Propagation of Astrophysical Vortex Jets Generated in the Jumper of a Spiral Galaxy

“…The fact that ball lightning is a microanalogue of a star was noted in [33]. The existing experience in the generation of high-energy ball lightnings [30] [34] [35] makes it possible to use it for laboratory modeling of ministars and a possible solution to the problem of nuclear fusion under normal conditions. The generation of stars, like the generation of ball lightning, occurs with the help of jets.…”

On the mechanism of anomalous phenomena in current-carrying magnetized plasma

“…Good results can be obtained by improving the accelerative mechanism of nuclear fusion, which takes place in the structural elements of the Sun (Oreshko 2019 b ). The complete lack of financial support did not prevent the author of this work from obtaining ball lightning in the laboratory, which is a complete analogue of ball lightning observed in atmospheric electrical discharges in thunderstorm weather (Oreshko 2007, 2015, 2021; Oreshko & Oreshko 2021). It is possible that the use of ball lightning as a driver (Oreshko, Oreshko & Mavlyudov 2018) or a reactor core will make it possible to solve the problem of obtaining nuclear fusion reactions.…”
