He has authored many theoretical and experimental studies on plasma physics, MHD, different branches of astrophysics (magnetic and binary stars, Solar System evolution, origin of asteroids and comets, astrobiology, dark matter, etc.
), EM launch technology with industrial applications (for ~ 1 g projectiles, world record velocities achieved), and the like.
The areas studied include (1) generation of magnetic fields in celestial bodies by MHD processes without positive feedback—"semi-dynamo"; (2) close-binary Solar System cosmogony; (3) short-period comets and some other minor bodies as product of global explosions of electrolyzed massive icy envelopes of distant moon-like bodies; (4) origin of life due to magneto-electrochemical processes in the Galilean satellites’ ensemble; (5) daemon paradigm considering the dark matter objects to be electrically charged (Ze ≈ 10e) elementary Planckian black holes (m ≈ 2×10−5 g, rg ≈ 3×10−33 cm).
[1][2] Some of his more controversial work has been noted in the popular press: His work on the Tunguska event has been noted in Popular Mechanics[3] and Ria Novosti [4][5] as well as in The British Interplanetary Society's publication Spaceflight.
[6] His work on Giant pieces of Jupiter's satellites as a threat to life on earth has been documented in Pravda.
