Electric Asteroid Model from NASA
June 25, 2014 - New NASA Model Gives Glimpse into the Invisible World of Electric Asteroids:

Zimmerman is modeling the solar wind interaction with asteroids, linked is an old article, check out the youtube video of the simulation.
Reminds me of Hartley 2:

This could be a tool/model the EU can really use.

What is an "Ambipolar Field" ?
Reminds me of an old joke about an ambihelical hex nut, self-locking latex heat treated to Rockwell X.

It is where ions and electrons interact due to an electric field. It is a common term in plasma physics.Maol wrote:What is an "Ambipolar Field" ?
