    Patent number: 5541385
    Abstract: A method for generating a ballshaped plasma or similar phenomen in a spherical chamber (8), where fuel gases are supplied through the jet nozzles (2a,2b), bringing the plasma ball into rotation. The ionization of the gases is started and maintained by electric discharge and/or laser energy. Magnetic fields are provided through pole pieces (4a,4b,6a,6b), one field of which is rotating in accordance with the plasma ball rotation. A chamber (8) for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
