Particle accelerators use EM fields to accelerate particles. Ding, Ding, Ding, that one actually has possibilities, but then you need electrical current.

In our model (Manuel, Ratcliffe, Mozina) the neutron core spins and that causes induction. In the fission model on my website, the core also provides some energy in the form of fission. My model is not "completely" powered by external currents, but it's still "mostly" powered by them. It may be that I'm wrong and it's almost exclusively an external energy source, but that does not mean I've misunderstood Birkeland's theories. I'm well aware of how his experiments worked.

Not at all. I never once claimed that your arguments were wrong because of the bitterness that's so evident in some of your posts.quote:
Proud of yourself Dave?
Should I be? I didn't think discussing possibly motives would be something to be proud of, unless they're deeply hidden motives and one undertakes to demonstrate that they exist. I don't particularly care that much about yours, so no, I'm not "proud of" that post. It was just chit-chat.quote:
The fact you have the nerve to lecture me about science when you so heavily rely on the use of ad hominem speaks volumes Dave.
I never once relied on any personal attack upon you to make a point about you being wrong in your science, Michael. The fact is you've presented very little science, but instead a lot of speculation and authority worship. There's nothing left to do but to wonder about your motives in continuing to beat your dead horses.quote:
You're definitely projecting.
Not at all. I'm not the one claiming that scientists are afraid to lose their paychecks by changing their mind, Michael. Now that is an ad hominem attack (of your own making) which utterly fails to address the science.quote:

The rest of your input here Dave hardly warrants a reply.

You repeatedly resort to childish personal attacks, and you constantly misrepresent every statement I make.

You make up your own strawman arguments and you burn them in effigy and claim victory.

That University of Maryland paper you showed to all of us described a mechanism quite well, while never once mentioning electricity or any net current flow. Perhaps you should read it again. But we've been over this before, and you showed a rather strong reluctance to admit that electron density doesn't equal electron flow, and an even stronger reluctance to admit that the electron density was far too low to create much of a current or heat even if there was a net current flow.
By the way, have you calculated how much time it took for that field loop seen by Hinode to "collapse" once the "current" was "cut off," Michael? Seems the speed of the current would be a good data point for use in your theory. |

You conveniently dodged my question. Have you read *any* of Alfven's work? If so, what?
The reason I ask, is that if you had read even his work "Cosmic Plasma" written way back in the 80's, you'd have known that he described all sorts of solar events in the context of electrical engineering. He even made references to the x-rays seen from Skylab and said that they were probably due to electrical activity. He talks about coronal loops and describes CME's in terms of exploding double layers. If you had *any* clue about any of his work, you would have already known that.
Which of his works have you actually read? |

They are not "drastically" different. This is another example of "spin" Dave.

I wasn't talking about the magnetic fields of the sun, I was talking about the magnetic fields that permeate space. When were those predicted to exist in standard theory?
That 200,000 distance from the presumed point of origin of these magnetic fields and the high energy release point in the sun's upper atmosphere is but another example of a giant can of worms. How strong would the field have to be at that depth to create the strong magnetic fields we find at the surface? Wouldn't that create a current flow of epic proportions?
quote:
Rhessi only provides evidence for your idea if you first assume that the events seen on the Sun are due to electrical currents. That's called assuming your conclusion.
No! Any electric solar model "predicts" that solar discharges in the solar atmosphere are electrical in nature. If that is true, then we should see evidence to support that in high energy satellite images. Rhessi shows that the solar atmospheric events release the same types of high energy emissions as electrical discharges on earth. That is real evidence Dave. You keep handwaving it away, but that's a purely subjective choice on your part. You can't ignore a direct prediction of electric solar theory and claim it doesn't matter that we see the same kinds of emissions we expect to see. It does matter. It shows the model can *accurately predict* solar atmospheric events! You're totally full of it on this one. |

So essentially you like to run around and project your own personal scientific (and perhaps academic) inadequacies upon all other programmers like yourself. It definitely is a form of projection then.

Even if nobody offered another model to consider, the mainstream would still be left with trying to explain a million degree coronal loop against a 6000K background. That's never been explained properly because the mainstream refuses to acknowledge the role of electricity as it relates to solar atmospheric phenomenon.
Michael's answer, in other words, is no, there is not an actual model to jump to.

Can you demonstrate the quantitative predictive ability of your model. That would at least be a start.
One of the most obvious is expectations of my theory is that we would expect to see emission patterns around the sun that are consistent with emissions patterns seen in electrical discharges:
http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/rhessi_tgf.html
Indeed we see gamma rays and x-rays coming from *some* areas of the solar atmosphere. The gamma rays in particular tend to be concentrated in and around coronal loop activity. Coronal loop activity emits high energy x-rays just like we would expect from a sustained high energy electrical discharge. We would expect to see coronal loops "fall to the surface" once the electrical current is cut.
Michael's answer, in other words, is no, he cannot demonstrate any quantitative predictive ability of his alleged model. But discarding any quantitative concerns, he can still point out some pictures that look something like what he would expect to see if those pictures were actually showing what he thinks they do and if his crazy notion were correct.

You have to present your ideas in a way that is non-subjective, understandable and applicable by scientists.
Every theory is "subjective". I can "objectively" note that electrical discharges emit x-rays and gamma-rays and so I should expect them to be found in solar atmospheric discharges if my theory is correct. I can't prevent you however from "subjectively" chalking it all up to gamma emitting firefly.
Michael's reply here, in other words, is that he cannot present his ideas in a way that is non-subjective, understandable, and applicable by scientists. He emphasizes his point by stating that if he is correct, then he is correct. And he adds the comment that a gamma emitting firefly is equally as objectively supported as his own wacky conjecture.

Michael, do you even know anything about the solar model you say is wrong?
Solar flares and prominences involve great volumes of moving plasma following magnetic flux lines. If you look at the pictures of solar prominences you will see the similarity between a prominence and the lines of flux of a common magnet. This moving plasma can be called a current if you like - there are charged particles moving along the flux lines. These rapidly moving particles emit E-M radiation all along the spectrum including gamma rays. The prominences do not look at all like electrical discharges. What is the mechanism that would cause an electrical discharge to make a huge loop instead of discharging directly across the shortest path between the difference in potential. Actually an electrical discharge would be impossible due to a static electrical buildup in plasma.
When you use lightening as an example of what is seen on the sun that is a terribly flawed analogy. Lightning occurs as a result of a large difference in electrical potential that occurs because air is a great insulator. The difference between the cloud and the ground causes the air molecules to ionize and become a plasma. After the discharge the electrons are rapidly recaptured by the ionized nuclei.
On the sun the plasma is already present. How do you propose that these large differences in potential developed if the area is bathed in charged particles - there is no insulator to separate the positive from the negative areas. If a difference in potential starts to develope the charged particles will rush in to equalize it.
