In this paper, we analyze biological effects produced by magnetic fields in order to elucidate the physical mechanisms, which can produce them. We show that there is a chierarchy of such mechanisms and that the mutual interplay between them…
We consider a cylindrical metallic magnet that is set into rotation about a horizontal axis by a falling mass. In such a system the magnetic field will cause a radial current which is non-solenoidal. This leads to charge accumulation and a…
We study the nonlinear evolution of the magnetic buoyancy instability in rotating and non-rotating gas layers using numerical solutions of non-ideal, isothermal MHD equations. The unstable magnetic field is either imposed through the…
This note discusses the motion of a charged particle in the magnetic dipole field and a modified Barut's lepton mass formula. It is shown that a charged particle in the magnetic dipole filed has no bound states, which means that Barut's…

Pulsar wind nebulae are efficient particle accelerators, and yet the processes at work remain elusive. Self-generated, microturbulence is too weak in relativistic magnetized shocks to accelerate particles over a wide energy range,…
Inertial effects play an important role in classical mechanics but have been largely overlooked in quantum mechanics. Nevertheless, the analogy between inertial forces on mass particles and electromagnetic forces on charged particles is not…
In the present work we consider energy accumulation mechanism in relativistic electron-positron plasma in the magnetosphere of pulsars. Waves propagating almost across the magnetic field lines are generated that accumulate the energy of…
Particularly for aneutronic fusion schemes, it is advantageous to manipulate the fuel species differently from one another, as well as expel ash promptly. The ponderomotive effect can be used to selectively manipulate particles. It is…
The exact mechanism by which astrophysical jets are formed is still unknown. It is believed that necessary elements are a rotating (Kerr) black hole and a magnetised accreting plasma. We model the accreting plasma as a collection of…
The Hall effect usually occurs when the Lorentz force acts on a charge current in a conductor in the presence of perpendicular magnetic field. On the other hand, neutral quasi-particles such as phonons and spins can carry heat current and…
Diffusive shock acceleration at collisionless shocks is thought to be the source of many of the energetic particles observed in space. Large-scale spatial variations of the magnetic field has been shown to be important in understanding…
