The velocity, pressure, perturbation magnetic field, helicity and electromotive force driven by an isolated buoyant parcel in an unbounded, rapidly rotating, electrically conducting fluid in the limit of small Elsasser number and very small Ekman number are calculated, visualized and analyzed. On the scale of the parcel, the solution is identical to that obtained in the limit of small Ekman number and zero Elsasser number. On the scale of the Taylor-column, it is elongated in the direction of the applied magnetic field and compressed in the direction perpendicular to it. The α-effect calculated by averaging the electromotive force on planes normal to rotation is strongly anisotropic: near the parcel and in the inner part of the Taylor-column it is strongest when the applied magnetic field is perpendicular to rotation and gravity; in the outer part of the Taylor-column it is strongest when the applied magnetic field is in the same plane as rotation and gravity.
