A possible acceleration mechanism by the magnetic force is suggested for a plasmoid, modeled as a spherical body with a magnetic dipole situated in its center of mass. The governing equations of the motion of a dipole in an inhomogeneous magnetic field are solved analytically and numerically. Both methods show the possibility for the plasmoid to be accelerated in the direction of the external field gradient.
