Abstract :
Hot plasmoids which pass through 5-mm-thick glass and hot points which appear as a result of plasmoid collapse are discovered in high-current vortex discharge at atmospheric pressure. The sequence of frames with plasmoids, images of imprints of plasmoids, and hot points on the glass and on a metal sheet is presented. The explanation of the observed phenomenon is given.
