Water in Stars? December 20, 2013 by Stephen Smith

Hundreds of TPODs have been published since the summer of 2004. In particular, we invite discussion of present and recent TPODs, perhaps with additional links to earlier TPOD pages. Suggestions for future pages will be welcome. Effective TPOD drafts will be MORE than welcome and could be your opportunity to become a more active part of the Thunderbolts team.

Water in Stars? December 20, 2013 by Stephen Smith

In an Electric Universe, stars are electromagnetically and externally powered. A star is the locus of electric charges that circulate through the galaxy along star-spanning filaments known as Birkeland currents. A red giant is a star lacking a photosphere, the “surface” from which main sequence stars emit radiation. In the case of IRC+10216, its chromosphere has expanded in order to meet the red giant’s electrical needs.
What mechanism within a star would require , as in "need", the addition of more electric radiation surface? :?

Thankyou :oops:

EDIT: Found an answer, but different from what I thought this tpod was saying. :oops:
Twinkle, twinkle electric star:

Red stars are those stars that cannot satisfy their hunger for electrons from the surrounding plasma. So the star expands the surface area over which it collects electrons by growing a large plasma sheath that becomes the effective collecting area of the stellar anode in space. The growth process is self-limiting because, as the sheath expands, its electric field will grow stronger. Electrons caught up in the field are accelerated to ever-greater energies. Before long, they become energetic enough to excite neutral particles they chance to collide with, and the huge sheath takes on a uniform ‘red anode glow.’ It becomes a red giant star.

The electric field driving this process will also give rise to a massive flow of positive ions away from the star, or in more familiar words—a prodigious stellar ‘wind.’ Indeed, such mass loss is a characteristic feature of red giants. Standard stellar theory is at a loss to explain this since the star is said to be too ‘cold’ to ‘boil off’ a stellar wind. And radiation pressure is totally inadequate. So when seen in electric terms, instead of being near the end point of its life, a red giant may be a ‘child’ losing sufficient mass and charge to begin the next phase of its existence— on the main sequence.
And I still don't understand what makes a star have a "hunger" for electrons... :oops:
Could it be that the increase in +ions lights up the plasma in the sheath? :?
