Abstract
The generation and evolution in the air of plasmoids with a lifetime o f 0.1 - 1 s and energy of r congruent-to 100 - 200 J, produced with th e aid of erosion-type plasma generators, are experimentally investigat ed. Filamentary polymer formation was observed in the composition of p lasma of such plasmoids. The experimentally observed characteristics o f plasmoids are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical est imates based on the results of [1].
