Abstract

An anomalous effect—emission of stored energy in the form of a narrow light beam—that was observed during the decay of a long-lived (up to several seconds) plasmoid is considered. A succession of video frames is presented, one of which demonstrates the effect revealed. This effect is explained by means of calculating the radial electron density gradients that result in the refraction of light and thus cause photons to move in closed orbits. The effect detected is attributed to distortion of the shape of the total internal reflection surface in a long-lived plasmoid.
