The generation and evolution of power intensive Ball Lightning Objects (BLO) or polymer plasmoids in air were investigated. The experimental arrangement consisted of electric discharge gun (EDG), capacitor storage with energy stored up to 5.6 kJ, electron trigger, limiting inductance 100-1000 {mu}H. EDG represented cone discharge tube 5 cm length, with cone opening 30-120{degrees}. Inner wall was covered by candle wax. Diameter of tube outlet was 10-30 mm. Time of pulse was about 30 ms, its amplitude was not higher than 60 A.
