An attempt is made to indicate the manner in which Alfven's critical-velocity phenomenon is used in the Alfven-Arrhenius (1970) model for the formation of the solar system. Attention is given to Danielsson's (1970) direct interaction experiment, Varma's (1977) theory for the interaction between a plasma and a neutral gas, and implications of the experimental and theoretical results for the Alfven-Arrhenius model. The theory of hetegonic processes propounded by Alfven and Arrhenius (1970, 1973, 1974) is discussed, and problems are considered which arise from a distinction between 'threshold' and 'terminal' velocity as well as from the question of trapping and storage of the neutral gas by a magnetic field ionization.
