%0 Journal Article %T IMPROVEMENT OF A MICRODIPOLE MODEL OF A BALL LIGHTNING AND ELECTRODYNAMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE THEORY OF THIS PHENOMENON. %A M.I. Baranov %J Electrical Engineering & Electromechanics %D 2013 %I Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute %X A new electrodynamic model of a ball lightning (BL) containing an internal toroidal high-temperature energy core and an external electro-neutral highly-polarized water shell is introduced. The BL energy core is formed by electron and proton microtori with intrinsic oppositely directed elementary spiral-circular currents. The BL core spiral-circular electron currents of conductivity create an enveloping strong pulsed azimuth magnetic field and a superstrong vortex radial electrical field. %K ball lightning %K energy core water shell %K electrodynamic model %K theory %U http://eie.khpi.edu.ua/article/view/14926/12768
