DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to the generation of a gas/plasma ball in a special chamber, into which hot ionized gases are conducted.
Ball lightning phenomena is known as a natural phenomenon during thunderstorms. As far as is known, it has not been possible to generate the phenomenon by experiments and therefore also not to exploit, i.e., beneficially control and utilize, its practical properties. Even this invention does not bring a solution either to the origin of the ball lightning or to the question of what sustains the gas/plasma ball formed by fire gases of cable surface oxidation ignited on power lines by corona discharge and which can land on the ground and continue moving. Thus far it is understandable that no solution was reached, as the voltages and rates of current in the lightning are greater than on power lines.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The gas/plasma ball generated in accordance with the present invention has a much greater density and cannot be sustained without chamber walls, the charge of which bears the same polarity as the gas/plasma ball, thereby pushing and centering the ball. With this counteraction the gas/plasma ball is sustained in the chamber. Further, in the free air space around the power line there is not a pressure as high as would be necessary at the ignition moment. With the method and chamber according to this invention, a decisively better final outcome is reached in generating the phenomenon and in controlling the chargings and energy flows in the phenomenon.
The method according to the invention is characterized by the steps of feeding gas flows into the chamber in the form of ionized burning gas flames, generating an electric arc by means of opposite electrodes in the chamber wall, essentially on the axis of rotation of the gas ball, and feeding energy, preferably by a laser beam, into the electric arc.
The major advantages of the invention can be considered that generating, maintaining and processing the gas/ball plasma are mastered under control in a closed chamber, whereat the inter-actions of the high densities of charge and magnetism and phenomena thus induced can be observed and binding the energies displaced.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In the following the invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, where
FIG. 1 shows a principal drawing of a chamber.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
FIG. 1 shows a chamber 8 with an insulated wall 8a. The chamber enclosure is a transparent bulb 7 the outer periphery of which is marked 7a. Structures 6a and 6b are rotating magnets. Structures 5a and 5b illustrate conductors, between which a discharge 9 is generated between electrodes 3a and 3b. 4a and 4b are fixed heads of magnets with different poles insulated from the conductors 5 which can however be moved towards the chamber. From jets 2a and 2b flames enter the chamber. Laser beams are shot to 1a in discharge 9.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of chamber 8. The chamber enclosure is a transparent bulb 7. Flame 12 from jets 2 curves to the circular orbit. An eddy magnet field is formed in the chamber on rotation of the magnet 6 The laser beam 1e is shot by laser gun 1b, by means of which the beam can also be directed. In jets 2, there are fuel pumps 2g for main jets and 2e and 2f for the peripheral jets. There is a current ionizator around fire duct 2b.
FIG. 4 shows the arrangement of magnets. The magnets are isolated from the chamber wall. Bar magnets 10b are placed at the chamber sides.
FIG. 5 illustrates the same but viewed from the front. 8a is the chamber wall. 9 is an electric discharge from the head 3b, 4b a fixed magnet and 5b a conducing wire.
FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the back circulation of fire gases. The fire gases escape from the chamber 8 through the space between magnets 4 and 6 along circul
