Earl, Eric, I don’t think you got my point or maybe its a moot point.
As the plasmoid filaments or filament is carrying all of the ions without electrons, they are ready to combine and fuse. With equal charge they would naturally separate to the greatest distance allowed along the fillament. If they are all traveling in the same path they are likely not going to collide and fuse. If you think about it like a car crash up figure 8 track the ions must travel through the center which would put more of them on a collision course. If the ions have enough momentum and are properly aligned many could overcome the weak force and join. Otherwise as the plasmoid decays only a few would be able in the last moment of plasmoid existence.
