'..so the question always arises, how does the Sun stay positive? It gets its input from its poles as far as we can tell. We need more data, we need more probes to find it out exactly.'

'Many of the phenomena that we observe on the Sun's surface are electrical.

..

The Sun, a positively charged body.

..

Plasma acts to sustain itself.

..

The solar wind pumps energy into Earth's radiation belts and polar regions. it powers the auroras. It also delivers energy to many of the other major planets; Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus.

There is a Fast solar wind, and the Slow solar wind.

In 1999 the solar wind shut off for two day.

In 1970 Ralph Juergens proposed the idea that the sun's surface is a plasma discharge.

Plasma has 3 different modes of operation:

<blockquote>Dark Mode - Ionospheres of planets, Strength of current extremely low. Does no usually emit light. Example: Earth's upper atmosphere.

Glow Mode - Stronger electric current density - Entire plasma glows. Sometimes creates filaments. Examples: neon signs, auroras, comet tails, Sun's corona.

Arc Mode - Very strong current density - often forms twisting filaments. examples are electric welders, lightning, sparks, Sun's photosphere.

The stronger the current density at any point in a plasma, the brighter the plasma.</blockquote>

..

..the whole idea is that plasma, once it becomes even partially ionized, the electric forces take over and gravity has nothing to do with it.

..

..so the question always arises, how does the Sun stay positive? It gets its input from its poles as far as we can tell. We need more data, we need more probes to find it out exactly.

..

Plasma pours upward out of sunspots. If you've seen that in an astronomy paper, they'll say that's a magnetic field. [But] magnetic fields are invisible! That's plasma! The plasma is following the magnetic field.'

(Electric Universe - SAFIRE) - Case Western University - 'I remember being completely laughed at by certain astronomers..'

'..ignoring the fruits of 150 or so years of electrical science.' - Donald E. Scott

(Electric Universe) - SAFIRE - '..to do what has never been done before – build a [miniature] sun on Earth..'


'..A dramatic reorganization of fusion research and a better-focused research program could result in power plants that will be sufficient.'
