Since current filaments in laboratory plasmas generally have a width/length ratio in the range 10e-3 to 10e-5, a typical 35kpc wide filament may have an overall length between 35 Mpc and 3.5Gpc with an average length of 350 Mpc. The circuit of course, is closed over this distance (Peratt, 1990).

And that is just a scaling assumption. He's got no idea. There's even less evidence of a filament of that size than for a galactic sized one.
How does he come to the assumption that over the larger distance that it's closed....just because it must be. Just so he doesn't get leakage from the filament ends. Where's the power for the filament coming from??
