jfmorales wrote:Thanks, zyxzevn, Michael, and Daniel. It's a useful reminder that there are more than one theory of the electric sun. I had in mind the version that seems to be espoused by Wal Thornhill and Donald Scott. And I may not have understood it correctly, but a long series of videos and articles have left me with the impression that currents of positive ions are supposed to be entering our Sun at the poles and emanating outward along the plane of the ecliptic. I can't easily find all the references that left me with that impression, but there are some in the article http://www.thunderbolts.info/thunderblo ... comets.htm, where Michael Goodspeed states:
"In the Electric Universe model, a comet is an electrically charged body. During its long period in the outer reaches of the solar system, it acquires a strong negative charge with respect to the Sun. Then, as it approaches the inner limits of its orbit, accelerating through the electric field of the Sun, it will begin to discharge to the plasma surrounding it, producing the familiar bright coma and tail."
In the same article, Wal Thornhill is quoted as saying "The electric field near the comet nucleus is expected if a comet is a highly negatively charged body, relative to the solar wind."
It would be nice to pin down whether Thornhill and/or Scott believe that the solar wind is positively charged, at least along the plane of the ecliptic, and if so, what they make of sources that claim that the solar wind has been measured as being electrically balanced.

Plasma is a state of matter, it is not a thing that blows. All things in space are in the plasma state. Not gas like 'air'.
A current of air is nothing like a current of electricity.
And the topic is 'wind' in 'space', not wind on our planet.
