Scientific paper

The author suggests that magnetospheric substorms and solar flares are manifestations of the same physical process, namely the escape (or attempted escape) of plasma from a region of closed magnetic field lines. This plasma is being slowly energized and supports a discrete auroral arc. It is enclosed by a magnetic bottle to prevent its escape. However, the author presents an alternative (and in many ways complementary) description to Schindler's (1976) to indicate how simple physics in three dimensions can help elucidate a number of problems, such as the production of bursts of very energetic particles, and the sudden development of field aligned current tubes.
