In the paper a description and photos of non‐stationary forms of erosional discharge in a radial slot are given that demonstrate the process of formation of jets and ejection of current loops. Rise of new found peculiarities of plasma jets, analogous to that discovered earlier in a capillary discharge, is explained by appearance of non‐equilibrium dynamic state, having a marked direction of transport wave flux, and plasma anisotropy in metastable plasma.
