THOR - It's Ball Lightning! Or is it?
SEM/EDS recorded session on inside of outside near yellow waves
The sparkles are Calcite it would appear. Are we seeing bacterial deposits or otherwise? If so, how do we explain the other spacial evidence? Is 'glassy carbon' actually tarballs? Is the rest of it, perfectly ordinary soot? Help explain [away if possible] these observations.
Do we see anything special we have seen before?
It has many crenelated Iron + Oxygen rich crenelated micro-spheres. Here was the first one that I could image and analyse (in minutes of starting analysis!)
Crenelations appear to be around 1 µm, regardless of the size of the micro-sphere, however on a 2 µm ball, it appears to be totally smooth other than a slight hint of a depression in the lower right quadrant.
Is the subtle departure from the perfect sphere due to the weak point in the proposed magneto-hydrodynamic structure?
The approximately 3.5 µm broken ball below clearly shows a shell thickness of around 0.7 µm. It is buried in a carbon rich matrix with some iron.
And here was the better of the ones I captured in the session above. Note that in this case it still has some residual Cr.

Wine removed, but sound dropped on this
It appears that based on the observed 30 µm spaced semi-regular array of medium sized fractal toroidal magnetic cores, there may be over 129 million interactions sites at this scale on the inside of the outside of the 24" Thunderstorm Generator.
There are other scale structures, for instance, if the small structures seen below are 5 µm apart, then there are 4.65 quadrillion or 4,650,000,000,000,000 interaction sites at this size assuming even coverage.
Needless to say, there is plenty of evidence of interactions.
Those Calcium/sulfur crystals remind me of selenite crystals having the same components as gypsum.
By chance I ran into an article on Naga fireballs also known as Mekong lights. Have you ever heard of these?
Apparently there are naturally forming glowing plasma orbs casually rising out of a river in Thailand every end of the October month.

Don't know what the anomalous tube monster thing is at 1:26:11, but was reminded of it seeing this Xenon-Mercury arc lamp I was looking at buying, ebay.ca/itm/323991723433 (in the 4th picture). Probably just a coincidental similarity, but maybe evidence it is related to a plasma effect? A side-by-side: https://imgur.com/a/f0ItsRj
