From theHαfiltergram observations obtained at Ganyu station, identification and statistic works made for Ellerman bombs, it is found that they often occur in the superpenumbra area of a mature sunspot. We suggest a plasmoid model to account for the basic properties of a typical bomb: lifetime 11 min, diameter ∼ 5 × 107 cm, accompanying jet velocity ∼ 40 km/s, total energy ∼ 1027 erg,Te ∼ 104 K. First, a numerical simulation is made to prove that plasmoids can be lifted from the solar convective zone by magnetic buoyancy. Between the plasmoid and its surroundings a strong current sheet builds up in which a peculiar MHD (with plasma ponderamotive force) - resistive instability takes place. After the magnetic reconnection has begun, a local explosive instability ensues whose growth rate is so high that it allows the exhaustion of the ‘high temperature’ particles from the sheet in a short period. In this way, the temperature of a bomb may be kept unchanged or only rise slightly.
