β¦ Synopsis
Loop flares are given a new magnetodynamic interpretation. In this model, the top of the magnetic loop is heated up by a collision of magnetic twist-wave packets (non-linear torsional Alfven wave) which are produced in the process of the loop emergence, and stored and released

The weakly ionized photospheric layer in the sunspot environment satisfies certain dynamo inequalities (Equations ( 11) and ( 13)) resulting in photospheric Hall current systems. The corresponding Joule dissipation is associated with the surrounding plage area. For critical values of the 'driving' o
An ejection mechanism for solar surges is discussed. The mechanism is closely related to an earlier proposed model for solar flares founded on current disruption. Hence, the observed connection between surges and flares may be explained in a simple way. The mechanism can also offer explanations of o
