Abstract

The article focuses on the experiments on magnetically confined plasmas which are composed of electrons and ions. These experiments generated remarkable bodies called plasmoids. The properties of plasmoids stem from two physical phenomena. One phenomenon is that the plasma can conduct electricity. The other phenomenon that governs the behavior of plasmoids is magnetism.
