Avramenko Erosion-Discharge Autonomous Plasmoids (1990 Laboratory Program)

Registered as C03b in the CPW conceptual-weapons register (v0.7). This is the LABORATORY track of Avramenko's work, distinct from the Doveriye/Trust weapon concept (C03): here, an erosion discharge in a dielectric-walled cylindrical channel creates autonomous, self-confined plasmoids exhibiting ball-lightning-like properties. The objects were accelerated to approximately 200 m/s — but the CPW-05 translation pin establishes this velocity is IN-FLOW (carried by the working gas), not a free-flight launch speed, a correction to earlier readings of the same source. Publication: Zhurnal Tekhnicheskoy Fiziki 1990; translation Sov. Phys. Tech. Phys. 35, 1396 (1990); reprinted in Avramenko (ed.) 'Ball Lightning in the Laboratory'. ANALOGY SIGNIFICANCE (CPW-07): in the 20×8×2 analogy matrix this is the best INDEPENDENT imagery analog to the Belitsky-described orb, graded PARTIAL — it is the only literal free, self-confined, BL-like object anywhere in Avramenko's record (his weapon concept projects no orb at all). It fails the strong-analog bar on size/lifetime/range axes (M2/M7 cells remain envelope-open). Note that Belitsky's own imagery face is a journalist's gloss on the weapon mechanism, so C03b is analog to the popular reading, not to any primary weapon description. RESIDUAL: the ZhTF 1990 source is a 9.6 MB scanned PDF (journals.ioffe.ru viewPDF/24425); sharpening the M2/M7 cells requires OCR-grade access or a quoting secondary — the single block on upgrading this analog beyond PARTIAL. No weapon content, no patents (family-wide zero verified in the Rospatent census).
