Ultimate proof of Magnetic Vortex, free book and videos

Hey TA here is an interesting thing I stumbled upon.

From what I can gather, it is plasma in the cup and a magnet making the plasma spin!

It is kind of confusing to me but I never really pictured a form of gas/light being spun in a tornator by a magnetic field.

Anyways I found it interesting....here is the GIF.

Yes but if this is true,if there is such a spontaneous vortex of movement of magnetic field at the poles it should be possible to shove a stationary magnet against a coil hookedup to a diode and register some current correct?am I wrong or am I right

  The ions and electrons of the plasma will follow helical
paths around the magnetic field lines.

After the magnet stops moving wrt the coil, there will be no current produced. If a magnetic vortex existed, and was oriented properly wrt the coil, then there should be current produced even when the magnet itself is stationary wrt the coil. 

There are a myriad of different experimental situations that would show a magnetic vortex _if it existed_. None of them do. There are a few situations where improper interpretations of limited observed data could be twisted... no pun intended!... to mean a magnetic vortex exists.

The low-pressure gas between the walls of the cup is readily ionized to plasma by the HV RF from the electronics in the base. The ionized gas is highly conductive and carries current. The current path is deflected in the ordinary way by the externally applied magnetic field.

What is "confusing" is trying to figure out how a "magnetic vortex" could reach out and grab onto "non-existent" electrons and ions and make them swirl about. However, using the accepted standard understanding, and some math that is basically expressed in Maxwell's equations, the motion can even be precisely calculated and predicted.
