Bill & Russ,
I remember some time ago reading an article on the net about expirments
on making ball lighting in a microwave. This person stated he progressed
thru several expirments and came to the conclusion that the carbon in
the burning wick caused the plasmoids. In later expirments he he used
carbon dust sprinkled on a small wad of 0000 steel wool and got
plasmoids that lasted for several seconds, (inside the microwave). I
can't remember any of the other details, but would recomend that the
tests should not be made in a microwave that is used for cooking food!!!
