Some browsing around the web, ResearchGate on microscopic evidence of condensed plasmoid impact on anode surfaces, I came across some nice SEM images:

Nice impact of a larger toroidal CP, it seems?
I'd say it has very high resemblance to the larger CP/EV/EVO specimens reported by K. Shoulders, where the inside is intact:

Apparently for Böddeker's device, the plasma current was only 100mAdc, so no need for pulses on kA scale. Note: Ken Shoulders also uses current limiting resistor at input/cathode/EV source of 0.5-1.5kOhm, which at couple thousands of volts limits the current peak to few amps:
(...So having hopes high for Egely's device?)
Anyhow, the main finding is this: both Böddeker and Klimov uses gas swirl and similar geometries:

Is the ENG8 device practically the same?!
