[en] A study was made of how the solar wind-magnetosphere dynamo converts the kinetic energy of solar wind particles into magnetic energy in the magnetosphere and how the magnetosphere converts explosively the magnetic energy into the kinetic energy of auroral particles. Also energy oriented geophysical or magnetospheric problems which can be handled by utilizing the presently available instruments and technology are found. A list of publications is included
