The origin and properties of plasmoids from a conical electrodeless ring discharge were investigated. In addition to image converters, magnetic probes and loops and a counter-field spectrometer for determination of ion energies were used. The dependence of the initial density of the plasma in the discharge coil on two different emission mechanisms was established. At lower densities, if the ions could be considered free particles, for acceleration only the electromagnetic field at the beginning of the discharge was measured. At higher densities, if the plasma behaved hydromagnetically, for example, emission mechanisms were determined extensively by captured fields. Under certain initial conditions, a plasmoid originated with captured magnetic fields that remained steady over a time on the order of 10) mu sec. (tr-auth)
