Good thanks. Looks like another confirmation that Ball Lightning is
simply a Meissner
Effect of the fact that Lightning strikes are Capacitor Currents and
are Superconductivity
events. There is no resistance in a lightning bolt strike because the
energy in is equal to
energy out in Conservation of Energy.
The "ball formation" is the ideal-diamagnetism.
Now I read somewhere where people suspect a microwave oven can
simulate ball-lightning.
But a microwave oven is not a capacitor current, so a microwave oven
is not a ball-lightning.
