Home > Tornado plasma hypothesis

The tornado plasma hypothesis is a hypothesis that plasma effects are associated with tornadoes. Edward Lewis has reported radio emissions that suggest rapid plasma glow discharges (silent "tornado lightning" bursts, similar to the plasma filament inside a fluorescent light bulb) on the order of 20 Hz. Lewis has associated tornadoes with plasmoid s and point discharge s, as well as a host of other plasma effects. Nocturnal tornadoes offer opportunity to observe this glow discharge.[1]

However most other researchers dismiss reports of the plasma effect, and these hypotheses remain outside the mainstream.

Plasma is possibly a factor in the creation of ball lightning.
