Hmmm,   it looks like this company has found the unique properties of toroidal plasma or ball

Also, an interesting link from nasa,   like sparks say,s on his site "Big ol tpu"  here is a quote
Quote
Even more impressive was the substorm's power. Angelopoulos estimates the total energy of the two-hour event at five hundred thousand billion (5 x 1014) Joules. That's approximately equivalent to the energy of a magnitude 5.5 earthquake.
