Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Plasma generated electromagnetic oscillations at the frequency an order ion-cyclotron have been investigated in the high energy content regimes of GDT operation. That waves are found to be an Alfvén ion-cyclotron instability. The microinstability threshold scaling law has been defined: with increase of the plasma column radius to Larmor radius ratio the threshold value of the diamagnetism in the midplane decreases. It qualitatively matches the theoretical calculations.
