The purpose of this experiment is to maintain a stable plasmoid ( a ball lightning ) at one atmosphere in a spherical glass vessel. This experiment uses a kind of electronic trigger which is the GMR v1.0 ( Graphite Microwave Resonator ) placed in a microwave oven working at 2.45 GHz.

If God wanted me to make ball lightning, he would have given me the means to produce stable plasmoids in my spherical vessels. He in his glory would have also bestowed me a trigger that would cause me to erupt steamy bolts of plasmoid all over unsuspecting Goodwill employees; their faces increasing in horror as each plasmodic spurt of energy further ensures their grisly demise. But he didn't, so I totally don't.

Hmmmm.... I took a spare microwave to school for my physics class to play with...
