Abstract
Ball lightning is an impressive natural electromagnetic phenomenon occurring in atmosphere under suitable circumstances. Its origin, composition and stability issues are a matter of debate, due to presence of many evidences still unexplained. An attempt to provide a model, in alternative to the ones already available, is here presented. The aim is to interpret the phenomenon through a fluid plasma self-trapped in very stable toroid-shaped regions. To this end, a suitable adaptation of the equations ruling electrodynamics is taken into account.
