论文摘要
给出了两个特殊现象的解释 - Foo Fighters和Microwave烤箱等离子体球。两者均提出是由微波能量与热，部分电离的气体区域的相互作用而产生的。在前一种情况下，建议飞机自己的雷达辐照其热排气，从而产生似乎跟随它的发光物体。检查了这些情况的物理学，我们试图描述此类过程所必需的温度和野外强度。为此，我们采用有趣的迭代方法来解决适当的部分微分方程。我们发现，尽管所需的现场优势是合理的较高端，但两个过程的身体确实很有意义。
An explanation is given for two peculiar phenomena - Foo Fighters and microwave oven plasma balls. Both are proposed to arise from the interaction of microwave energy with areas of hot, partially ionized, gas. In the former case it is suggested that the airplane's own radar irradiated its hot exhaust thus producing a glowing object that appeared to follow it. The physics of these situations is examined and we attempt to delineate the temperatures and field strengths necessary for such processes to be viable. To do this we employ an interesting iterative method for the solution of the appropriate partial differential equations. We find that both processes do make good physical sense although the field strengths required are towards the higher end of what would be considered reasonable.
