Zusammenfassung:The equation for axi-symmetric magnetohydrostatic equilibria in stationary conductive fluid is re-examined. Spheroidal magnetic conducting vortices are shown as examples of equilibrium configurations. Then a circulating sphere of viscous conducting fluid moving slowly along an aligned spatially uniform magnetic field, varying linearly with time, is shown to be a megneto hydrodynamic vortex which satisfies all reason able boundary conditions for real fluids. The possibility of experimental verification is discussed.
