RE: Plasmoid (Ball Lightening) with a microwave resonator

This was just demonstrated by a kid on The Letterman Show.
It looks easily reproducible.
The resultant plasmoid was quite long lived.
It appeared to stay even after the microwave oven was turned off.
Quite Cool!

Apparently J Naudin of France, (an emminent
experimentalist with many web pages) has been able to
use pencil lead, (graphite) to produce a stable
plasmoid, ( Ball Lightening?). He uses a microwave
and the standard Tesla coil quarterwavelength method
to achieve this. At
http://jlnlabs.imars.com/plasma/gmr/index.htm
he notes the following;
The frequency of the magnetron is 2.45 GHz, its wave
length is l = 12.2 cm, this gives the height of the
1/4 wave microwave antenna : l/4 = 3 cm
This looks like a easily reproducible experiment if
the materials were available.(pyrex glass globe might
be a problem) The page is nicely done.
