The results of the study of fractal plasma, which has a special structure and is a conjugated system of nested cones. Fractal plasma showed a number of unusual properties. Such plasma easily burn holes in the tungsten plates, while on dielectrics, such as paper can not have a similar effect. In addition, it found an unusual luminous objects that accompanied the emergence of fractal plasma. These luminous objects appeared at a considerable distance from the place of occurrence of the plasma. The authors suggest that the appearance of unusual luminous formations associated with a change in the state of the environment - the physical vacuum at the time of plasma ignition.

research task

We investigated the plasma formed by pulse current with the explosion of wires in the capillaries. The studies were conducted on the experimental laboratory installation "Unitron" [1]. Earlier, in the course of experiments on the "Unitron", it was discovered fractals in plasma [1]. Fractal plasma showed a number of unusual properties. Such plasma easily burn holes in tungsten, while on dielectrics, such as paper provided it is not such an action. In the two-layer targets consisting of paper pasted on the one hand metal or deposited metal on the one hand, burnt out only metal layer, while the paper and the film remained intact [1,2]. The emergence of fractal plasma was accompanied by a loud bang, which resembled the sound of a gunshot. Visually, at the time of plasma formation was observed a bright flash. Figure 1 shows the plasma video footage.

The photos can be seen plasma formations with a bright glow. These plasma formation took a considerable amount of space on the lab bench and practically covered with a kind of system components "Plasma hood". Most impressively "plasma cap" presented at Fig.1c.

Incomplete geometric shape of plasma formations shaped "cap" over the table, naturally prompted the idea to check whether the continuation of the "plasma cap" under the table top. Special experiments were carried out for this purpose. Installation was placed on a wooden table in which no metal parts.

The observed effects

In the experiments, contrary to expectations, there was no evidence of continuing "plasma cap" under the table top. Instead, the video recorded unusual luminous objects that are placed under the table at a considerable distance from the plasma formation zone. These luminous objects were not a continuation of the "plasma cap." Figure 2 shows footage video footage of unusual luminous objects detected in experiments with plasma.

As you can see, the place the appearance of luminous objects located at a considerable distance from the plasma formation zone. The form of luminous objects is quite unusual. They consist of pieces of line, which form elements of regular rectangles than sharply different from the optical lens effects in the lenses.
Luminous object existed a short time, and the time of its appearance was preceded by a moment of destruction of targets. Figure 3 shows two successive frame video. In the first frame (Figure 3) can be seen a luminous object on the second frame (3b) fixed the time of the destruction of the target.

Analysis of the results

The unusual shape of luminous objects indicates that they are not optical effects in the lenses of the camera lens. Optical effects observed in our experiments as independent displays. At the same time they had a completely different look. For comparison, Figure 5 shows the typical cases of the appearance of optical effects in the lenses, which have been observed in experiments carried out by us.

The results are highly unusual and are in need of any theoretical explanation. Currently, the authors can not give them a reasonable interpretation and explain the mechanism of extraordinary luminous objects. It planned a series of experiments for the purpose of in-depth study, which should clarify the understanding of the mechanism of their occurrence. The authors have only suggested that the appearance of unusual luminous objects associated with a change in the environmental conditions - physical vacuum at the time of plasma ignition.
