The one of the known applications of the classical Lorenz system is an axisymmetric αω-dynamo with a dynamical quenching of the α-effect by the helicity. In this paper we consider generalizations of the Lorentz system, which are the models of α2 - and α2ω-dynamo. The cases of finite and infinite memory in the quenching functional are considered. The conditions for the existence of stationary dynamo regimes and regimes of regular and chaotic inversions are analytically and numerically studded.

Abstract. Inversion of the magnetic field in a model of largescale α -dynamo with α-effect with stochastic memory is under investigation. The model allows us to reproduce the main features of the geomagnetic field reversals. It was established that the polarity intervals in the model are distributed according to the power law. Model magnetic polarity timescale is fractal. Its dimension is consistent with the dimension of the real geomagnetic polarity timescale.
