Here you will find a new theory with which you can calculate sunspot cycles.
It was developed by a Belgium scientist.
I can not attach the excell file because it does not accept an xls extension.
Just email me and I will send you the excel file.

Summary of the model.
It explains:
1) Long and short sunspot cycles
2) Very low sunspot activity.
3) Why there is a difference between the sunspot numbers South and North of the equator (slightly different speed Southern and Northern polar field)
4) Why there is very low sunspot activity South or North of the equator, while there is sunspot activity in the opposite place!
5) Outburst of magnetic field activity are seen on the theoretical model. Even in declining and low sunspot activity!

A Theoretical Calculation of the Sunspot Cycle
With the help of a simple integral, a theoretical sunspot cycle of eleven years can be imitated (copied) as follows:
The polar magnetic field of the sun rotates (theoretically) in about 37.2 days; the equatorial field in 25.75 days (the average of the last 75 years: see Long Term Variations of the Torsional Oscillations of the Sun, Solar Physics 170: 373/388, 1997, by Dirk K. Callebaut). At a certain moment, the equatorial field takes over from the polar field. Therefore we can only investigate the relationship between the field of the sun and an independent observer by measuring only each take-over movement. Through this we always compare only two variants: the converging positions of the fields in relation to the shifted point of observation. In fact we are doing nothing more than calculating the winding process of the magnetic field of the sun. At this moment we can calculate the numbers of the fields together with the converging position:
360 / 25.75 = 13.9805825 degrees
360 / 37.19 = 9.6800215 degrees
The difference is: 13.9805825 – 9.6800215 = 4.30055848 degrees
The polar field is taken over by the equatorial field after the following number of days:
360 / 4.30055848 = 83.710058 days = 1 bit
The number of circles traveled by the equatorial field is:
83.710058 / 25.75 = 3.25087545
The number of circles traveled by the polar field is:
83.710058 / 37.19 = 2.25087545
0.25087545 circle forms a bit and will be used as a basic unit in the calculation
First point:
0.25087545 x 360 = degrees
= 91,3 degrees
= A
Put this in relation with an observer who travels the length of the mean of the polar and equatorial field in one day.
Total length equator field = 4.370.880 km
Mean of Polar field = between 700.000 km and 900.000 km = 800.000 km
4.370.880 + 800.000 = 5.170.880 km
mean =2.585.440 km
=> This is about equal with the speed of an object that travels 360 days around the sun in one year (plus/ minus)
=> To be corrected when we know the circumference of the polar field more excactly
Comparisson speed earth
Speed earth = 29,77 km sec
29,77 x sidereal day = 2.565.000 km/day
Conclusion
Point B goes in plus minus 360 days around the sun
in this case = 83, 7 days = 83,7 degrees because days is same as degrees
= B
A - B = end formula
When you calculate and subtract both graphics, the result will be the difference between the magnetic field of the sun and an independent observer. Filling in the previous numbers in the Excel file this results in a sunspot cycle of 54.5 bits. 54.5 x 83.710058 days = 4,562.2 days = 12.49 years.
Note:
The changes of speed of both the equatorial and polar fields were not taken into account.
Sunspot cycle of 9 years
We change the hypothetical speed of the polar field into 37.16 days:
360 / 25.75 = 13.9805825 degrees
360 / 37.16 = 9.68783638 degrees
Difference = 4.292746117 degrees
360 / 4.292746117 = 83.86240187 days = 1 bit
83.86240187 / 25.75 = 3.2567923
0.2567923 circle = 1 bit
When you put these numbers in the Excel file the result is a sunspot cycle of 42 bits.
42 x 83.86240187 = 3,522.2 days = 9.64 years.
Important conclusions:
1) Only a small change in the speed of the polar or equatorial field can result in a considerable prolongation or deceleration of the sunspot cycle.
2) From a mathematical point of view there has to exist a very close correlation between the equatorial and polar field.
3) The sunspot cycle together with the polar reversal of the magnetic field of the sun lasts longer when the polar field rotates somewhat slower. A difference of only (!) 0.0807 percent causes the cycle to rise from 9.64 to 12.49 years!
Third example: the cycle of 11 years
Speed of the polar field: 37.176 days
360 / 37.176 = 9.683666882 degrees
360 / 25.75 = 13.9805825 degrees
Difference: 4.296915618 degrees
360 / 4.296915618 = 83.7810262 days = 1 bit
83.7810262 / 25.75 = 3.25363208 circle
0.25363208 circle = 1 bit
When you put these data in the Excel file, the result is a sunspot cycle of 48.0 bits.
48.0 x 83.7810 = 4,021.5 days = 11.01 years.
Very low sunspot activity
Equator field: 25.75
Polar field: 37.291
Very long cycle
=> ALMOST ZERO SUNSPOT ACTIVITY!
To be studied:
Speed equator field: 25.75
When you slow down the speed of the polar field further to 37.4075, the length of the sunspot cycle DECREASES again to 11 years!
Question:
Is this a possible explanation for the change of the magnetic field every 11 years?
1) Cycle of 11 years based on a speed of 25.75 days (equator field) and 37.176 days (polar field)
2) Cycle of 11 years based on a speed of 25.75 days (equator field) and 37.4075 days (polar field)
=> First cycle + and other - ?
