I suspect you may be concerned over matters to matching the engineering of the experimental apparatus, rather than what happens once the energy is made available and the plasmoid is forming, and 'natural' processes are studied.
Remember as plasma scales, so too does the time scales.

Yes, I can see this issue is just like the one raised by your pursuing a design for a relaxation oscillator model which mimics pulsars. The precision of the oscillation is the sticking point there.
And here, the sticking point is that we've managed, using our cleverness and understanding of the fundamental forces, to reproduce something which resembles remarkably, some of the phenomena observed, (visually), in the universe.
Its all so contrived coming from a deliberate intention or preconceived idea. I don't see that that it serves any purpose other than to push that pre-conceived idea.
Sorry Alex but that's pseudoscience, right there.
Having made this rather unpleasant conclusion, (apologies if you're offended), I do concede that the resemblance between the plasmoid created in the DPF machine displays perhaps, superficial (visual) similarities to a quasar. But you know, I could create a clay model of quasar and get the same result.
Does it tell me anything ?
Cheers
PS: Don't take this personally … I'm just trying to get to the bottom of my discomfort about it all. Then I can deal with the rest. Cheers
