Tiny ball lightning

I have been posting articles about tiny ball lightning and
plasmoids for a while now. In the December, 1994 issue of FUSION
TECHNOLOGY, Matsumoto reports about the observation of tiny ball
lightning in several cold fusion experiments, and he suggests that
people use nuclear emulsions. Sufficient evidence of the production
of things that can be called "plasmoids" or tiny ball lightning is the
many kinds of plasmoid traces that Matsumoto has produced, and the
EB-filament paper by Nardi and Bostick et al.: V. Nardi, W. H.
Bostick, J. Feugeas, and W. Prior, "Internal Structure of
ELectron-Beam Filaments," Physical Review A, 22, no. 5, 2211
(November, 1980). This is substantial proof, in my opinion. Some of
the ring traces are very similar, and some of the other traces are
similar too. I'd also like to suggest that people use nuclear
emulsions awith various kinds of cold fusion and plasmoid experiments.
Many of the plasmoids produced by electrolysis and discharge are the
same. And people have known for a long time that plasmoids and
discharges are associated with neutron production.

I've posted versions of this article several times on this
newsgroup since December of 1993; and I've posted several articles
about plasmoids and cold fusion on this newsgroup since January of
1993. If anyone wants to reproduce or resend this article, get my

PLASMOIDS AND COLD FUSION
W. Bostick produced that which he called plasmoids by
discharging through electrodes. Bostick wrote a paper that was titled
"Plasmoids" that was published in SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN in 1957(1). He
may have been the first to apply this term to this phenomena. In this
paper, he had already began to tell others about his speculation that
galaxies and the phenomena he produced were similar. He compared the
shapes and the travel of these things. He also speculated a little
about the identity of "particles." He shows pictures of different
kinds of plasmoid shapes in the article and related these to different
kinds of shapes of galaxies. Many people including Bostick, Alfven
who is a physics Nobel Prize winner, Peratt and Lerner have developed
similar astronomical theories that model the universe as plasmoids and
that can be said to be derivations or summarizations of the
experimental work of W. Bostick and others. It has become evident
that atoms can be defined as plasmoids, especially as according to the
phenomena produced by Ken Shoulders. It seems that there are many
different kinds of plasmoid phenomena. The EVs that Ken Shoulders
produced and ball lightning may be classified as kinds of this general
phenomena. There is evidence that both plasmoids and ball lightning
are associated with neutrons, radioactivity, production of elements,
and excess radiation.
Based on the phenomena that Matsumoto produced, the
traces, the pictures and descriptions of electrodes, the pictures of
stationary BL and corona-like phenomena, the visible BL-like phenomena
that he reports, and the sparks that he observed that left traces like
those produced during electrolysis and discharge, one may categorize
CF phenomena as tiny ball-lightning or plasmoids. Important evidence
is the holes and trails on and in emulsions and electrodes that
Matsumoto produced by discharging and electrolysis, the holes in
electrodes that Liaw et al. produced, the holes in electrodes that others
produced, the empty areas in electrodes that are shaped liked grains
that Matsumoto and Silver et al. produced and the half-empty grains that
Matsumoto produced, and the holes and tunnels and trails on and in
electrodes that Silver produced. These tunnels, holes, and trail-like
marks are similar to those that are produced by ball lightning
phenomena, though ball lightning are associated with bigger effects.
These tunnels, holes, and trail-like marks are also similar to those
produced by the EV phenomena that K. Shoulders produced. Silver and
his co-authors who published a paper in the December issue of FUSION
TECHNOLOGY have reproduced the tunnels, holes, and trail-like markings
in metals that Matsumoto produced. These tunnels, holes, and
trail-marks are evidence of the conversion and change of materials.
Important evidence that both CF phenomena and substance in general are
plasmoid phenomena is Matsumoto's experience of the production of
electricity by apparatus. I suspect that plasmoid phenomena such as
electrodes and other materials may convert to be bigger plasmoids and
light and electricity. EVs and ball lightning are known to convert to
light and electricity.
I suspect that the round holes in electrodes that Matsumoto
produced and the round holes and tunnels that Silver produced are due
to the boring of BL-like phenomena, and that the grain-shaped holes
that they produced is evidence of the conversion of the grain to light
or electricity or of the production of plasmoids. Some if not all
plasmoids are apparently able to travel through materials, even if the
plasmoids are very big. The plasmoids that Matsumoto has produced
does this, and this is major evidence to support my deductions.
Matsumoto has also shown pictures of sectioned electrodes with what
seem to me to be trail-like tracks, as if tiny BL-like phenomena
traveled inside and left tracks.
Many other anomalous phenomena can be described as plasmoid
phenomena. For example, superconductivity seem to be similar to the
phenomena of ball lightning traveling though materials such as
ceramics and glass without leaving holes or visible effects, yet ball
lightning may convert to an electrical surge after touching a wire or
it may convert to a bolt of lightning. Also, sonoluminescence seems
to be a phenomena of the water converting to light and perhaps
electricity.
[Note from Moderator: This posting does address plasma effects which
thus makes it appropriate for posting in sci.physics.plasma. However,
"cold fusion" discussions are not appropriate to this newsgroup as
specified by its charter and comments on this posting should focus
on the plasma aspects. Any comments which only discuss cold fusion
will not be posted because that topic is covered by the
newsgroup sci.physics.fusion.]
