RECOVERED:

Electric Universe Papers? (Peer-Reviewed and otherwise?)

I'd like it if we could put up links to freely-available peer-reviewed papers on plasma physics, auroras, and other EU-related info (perhaps some direct EU papers, too; granted, some/all of them may not be specifically peer-reviewed). Perhaps starting with a link to the Electric Comet paper?

But I'd love to have links to Alfven's, Birkeland's, C.E.R. Bruce's, Juergens and others' articles. Perhaps we cna maintain a central list here so that interested parties can have unfettered access to them, read them and make up their own mindson the validity of those papers, rather than reading 3rd-party reviews of the papers by others who may or may not understand what the papers are saying?

Why Peer Reviewed?
Peer review has served largely to prevent new ideas from being explored in science. Instead of so-called peer review, how about scientifically devised review processes, such as sociocracy?

Well, I did say "and otherwise," noting the fact that the scientific "man" has been keeping a lot of good folks "down." *wink*

However, a considerable amount of solid peer-reviewed material is available if you can find it. The reason I say peer-reviewed (if it can be found) is that many pseudo-skeptics use "peer reviewed" as a rallying cry to say "you and people like you haven't PUBLISHED anything PEER-REVIEWED." So, part of the gist is to get a list of articles that HAVE been peer reviewed or published in respectable/"notable" (vis a vis, the wikipedia term) journals. If only to shut up the most "ardent" pseudo-skeptics. IE, if they want articles tht have been to a respectable journals, let's give them a heap of reading that HAS made it in.

In my opinion, it will help in the good fight to even the playing field slightly. Atleast then they can point to their journal articles, and we can point to ours. =o]

Again, I suggest we at least get a compilation of "respectable" articles by Kristian Birkeland, Hannes Alfven, W.H. Bennett, C.E.R. Bruce, Juergens, Falthammar, Langmuir, Bostick, Peratt, Wal Thornhill, Halton Arp articles, Oliver Manuel, Eric Lerner. Anything else is gravy, methinks. But, the idea here is to first put it all on a collected solid journal-level footing. IE, lay the foundation. Have a central spot to go to get as many of the articles as possible, so it can be pointed to and said "You want hard science? Go there..."

I just know from past wikipedia experience and having read some degenerating postings on slashdot, BAUT and habitablezone that folks tend to shootfirst and ask questions later, and unless you've got a bulletproof shield (reputable sources; "non-vanity-press" in wikipedia-speak; journal or other citable sources) the argument tends to go down in a blaze of glory. ;o] Not saying it's right, just being pragmatic...

Hence, a resoure to point to when they say "put your journal articles wherer your mouth is," would be handy.

http://www.plasma-universe.com does have a pretty good bibliography section for each, though I'm not sure if it has a specifically "paper-dump" page (ie, strictly a list of papers & abstracts, perhaps sorted by author or by date, or by author and then by date within that author's works?). Kind of a "central clearing house" for papers on EU / PU or something.

My opinion of course.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have just finished reading the new book "The Electric Universe" for the second and have found it a really amazing book! a couple of questions and please someone correct me if I am wrong. On page 61 in the information panel it talks about "the solar circuitry seems to behave like a secondary winding on a transformer which responds to varying DC current......
My question is I thought transformers only work with A.C. not D.C...
Another point is; "the varying DC power supply to the sun"..... If we assume that the way the universe works is at the most efficient level, moving energy transmission through D.C. is the least efficient way to do so as you would need current transformers along the the transmission line to "boost" the current flow. A prime example of this is DC power transmission to train lines. AC transmission through the galactic circuit would be at a frequency that to all intents and purposes would look like DC to us. Has anyone else thoughts on this?

At the risk of being snatched up by lurking "Topic Police":

1) Hopefully, one of the pros around here will intercede and give a more competent explanation over this paltry and wordy attempt, but here goes. I haven't read the book yet so I may be off the mark. But what you've quoted isn't saying the solar circuit is analogous to an AC transformer in toto but that the induction principle behind an AC transformer can also be achieved and observed, within limits, by a DC also.

While a conventional man-made transformer is designed to function in AC circuitry based on the principle of induction in a secondary coil due to the alternate building up and collapsing of a magnetic field from a reversing sinusoidal current in an adjacent primary coil, you can also get a similarly induced DC current in a secondary winding (coil) by simply varying a DC current through the primary winding.

Example. And please don't be offended if this sounds "dumbed down" - you must consider the source. Anyway, hook up one of the connection terminals of the primary winding of an AC transformer to one of the terminals of a DC battery (polarity doesn't matter). Connect a variable resistance (potentiometer) and a simple switch between the other terminal of the transformer's primary and the remaining terminal of the battery. The switch should be open, or off. Connect a suitably rated (12 v, whatever, depending on the battery, and transformer rating) lightbulb to the transformer's secondary winding. Turn on, or close, the switch. The lighbulb connected to the transformer's secondary will light briefly due to the induced current from the initial buildup of the magnetic field produced by the DC current in the primary winding. The lightbulb will go out as soon as the current, and the consequent magnetic field, in the primary has reached it's relative and constant peak flow. So you would only see the lightbulb flicker since the initial peak flow will be established "quickly."

Now by manually varying the potentiometer/resistance in the primary, and thus, the current flow though the primary winding, the lightbulb connected to the secondary will show corresponding "flickering" due to induction from the rising and falling magnitude of the magnetic field in the primary. This would be in concert with your turning the knob of the potentiometer back-and-forth, i.e. with your manually increasing and decreasing of the direct current flow through the primary by means of varying resistance. The faster you could vary the turning back and forth of the potentiometer the faster the flickering of the bulb and, I guess, anything around 30cps would give an appearance of more or less steady light. You could achieve the same result by just using the on/off switch.

In terms of voltage, unlike household AC, which will have mirrored positive and negative values across a zero potential axis (roughly +120 down and through 0 to -120 or vice versa, back-and-forth at 60cps (for U.S.)), the simple DC circuit above would vary with your manual tuning of the potentiometer/resistance in the primary circuit anywhere from 0 to +- 12v, if you were using a 12v battery as source say. If you eliminated the potentiometer and just used the on/off switch the intensity of the bulb would correspond to max and min values of ~12v and 0.

The bulb connected to the secondary would tend to pulsate or oscillate in concert with the variations of the DC in the primary based on how often you adjusted current flow in the primary by varying the potentiometer, or hitting the on/off switch. At each point you stop varying the resistance, or leave the switch either in steady on or off position, the bulb on the secondary winding will go out because current induction will have ceased i.e no change in current of the primary so no magnetic flux (change) to induce a corresponding induced change in the secondary.

In this simplistic circuit, you could also "simulate" an AC in the primary by continually reversing the DC battery's +- terminal connections.

2) As to the efficiency of power transmission at galactic and/or interstellar scale I will definitely defer to the pros.

I've recently come across several books available for general consumption (keep in mind they're generally old titles on which copyrights have expired, and in some way just for historical intent, so take them with a grain of salt), provided through:

A few new interesting articles forwarded by a colleague.

(Polarization in Gamma-Ray Bursts Produced by Pinch Discharge)
http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0501334

Quote:
Large-voltage and high-temperature plasma columns produced by pinch discharge can generate gamma-ray flashes with energy spectra and spectral evolution consistent with that observed in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The inverse Compton scattering (ICS) during the discharge process can produce high linear polarization. The calculation indicates that the observed polarization depends on the angle between the observer's line-of-sight to the GRB and the direction of the pinch discharge, but only weakly depends on observed gamma-ray energy.


(Cosmic ray spectrum above 1015 eV [a new approach])
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2005ICRC....3..137P
http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full ... ...3..137P

Quote:
A new approach to cosmic ray description based on the model of particle generation an acceleration in plasma pinches and on supposition that a new state of matter appears in cosmic ray interactions above 20^15 eV is considered. Consequences for various aspects of cosmic ray physics and some possibilities to check this hypothesis are discussed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can download a very good primer on EU theory at James P. Hogan's Web site, here.
It's a transcript of slide lecture—slides included, though, unfortunately, they're very small—Hogan gave at Eglin AFB, Florida, back in August.
The graphics will be mostly familiar to those with an interest in the EU, but Hogan adds some that are helpful in visualizing, e.g., Birkeland currents.
Well worth your time.

Hmm, did I forget that one? If so, I'd meant to add it. Good on you. Actually, there were two articles Hogan put out, as I recall. I'll track down the second...

I'm going to see about trying to manually recover some of the above into a usable format (again). But might end up having to re-do some large swath of it. Lots to do, so little time... ;o]

Kind of sucks that the original BBcode source isn't still available. Makes life more difficult.

Happened across this material today, thought I'd cross-post it from here... Add Freund to Bernard Vonnegut, ER Rathbun, and other notables who aren't afraid to utter the term "electricity" in the geosciences, and have no stake (so far as I know) in the cosmology debate.

Here's a way-too-long list of papers by Friedmann Freund on the topic of the electronics of the earth's crust and earthquakes. Discussion of p-holes (positive holes; no dirty jokes, please...), piezoelectric stress, etc.

Happened to be perusing adsabs.harvard.edu after a quote indirectly related to Birkeland (possible prior art by Alex Adams with respect to suspecting electrical interaction in / around sunspots c. 1883?), and searched on "electric sunspots." Apparently, there's plenty of peer-reviewed paperwork circulating that has to do with asking questions about electricity at the sun with respect to the chromosphere and below, the photosphere, corona, solar flares, prominences, sunspots, etc. etc.

Here you go! Not by EU or PC researchers, per se. But nonetheless interesting from an electrical / plasma perspective!

As we can pretty clearly see, there's plenty of peer-reviewed work looking into electric fields, currents, etc. with respect to the sun... So, if anyone's writing any articles, or wants to write any articles a few of those would probably be good citations of prior art.

There is some overlap with the link provided in the 1st post of this thread, but these are easier to sort through.

[jjohnson]

Thanks for these papers, Nick. I was flabbergasted to read Bruce's referring to the "Galactic magnetic pinch" in his paper on stellar atmospheres in 1959. How long have astronomers known all about such things and ignored them at the peril of their knowledge and abilities to interpret correctly? Are things electric just not that exciting to those who prefer to just look at things optically, or what? (correct answer: "or what?")

I am certainly no physicist or eletromagnetics expert, but it just seems so straightforward to deduce most stellar and cosmological phenomena if you start from first principles based on electric theory rather than on fusion chemistry and gravity.

Hi Jim,
Bruce's work is totally ignored by mainstream, he was a precursor of the EU. I especially love reading Bruce's descriptions of the electrical nature of the Sun, sunspots, corona, flares, etc. Bruce did not question the internal nuclear furnace theory, but his writing was an inspiration to Ralph Juergens who often credited Bruce. Juergens took Bruce's work to another level when he postulated an external power source for the Sun.
