Telluric currents

[Roshi]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telluric_current

A telluric current (from Latin tellūs, "earth"), or Earth current,[1] is an electric current which moves underground or through the sea. Telluric currents result from both natural causes and human activity, and the discrete currents interact in a complex pattern. The currents are extremely low frequency and travel over large areas at or near the surface of the Earth.

Information from wikipedia is very poor. Something about experiments done in 1862, then "Telluric currents in fiction". Not worth researching into it seems.

I am thinking - if the magma inside the Earth moves, does it generate electricity by friction? Can this be a cause of telluric currents (and other electromagnetic phenomena) ?

I think Eric Dollard is likely correct that there are tremendous electric currents circulating within the Earth and it seems to me that magma is heated by these currents. Large currents are possible due to the high conductivity of molten carbonates in the upper mantle.

I don't think we understand the interior of the Earth very well at all, despite the claims of the 'experts' and that the Sun, through a magnetic coupling to the Earth, is the primary cause of increased telluric currents that lead to increasing magma production and an increase in earthquakes and volcanoes.

@Roshi I think the most likely source of telluric currents are the various currents observed around the Earth and between the Earth and the Sun. The auroras have already been attributed to the Earth / Sun current; I believe the sprites and other electrical activity in the upper atmosphere derive from these currents. With all the electricity in and above the atmosphere it is difficult to imagine these same currents are not linked to electrical phenomena down to the ground and beneath it. The links below are to a study from the AGU that documents observed small Field Aligned Currents in the atmosphere, and to an Electric Universe forum post about the "global electric weather circuit".

@jackokie - Thank you, I understand there are electric currents everywhere around, (and of course in space).
(btw - Malwarebytes won't let me open the second link)

I was interested in a possible mechanism of generating electricity. Will the magma movements inside the Earth generate charge? The same way a volcano plume becomes electrified:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_lightning

Volcanic lightning arises from colliding, fragmenting particles of volcanic ash (and sometimes ice),[1][2] which generate static electricity within the volcanic plume

@GaryN - I do not know why the interior of the Earth is not solid, and why the magma moves around. Does it generate electricity by moving, or is it heated (and moved) by electricity? Anyway we need to start somewhere, so I ask - If I had a big barrel of magma and I stir inside it, does it generate electricity?

The Earth is a magnet. Scientists do not fully understand why, but they think the movement of molten metal in the Earth’s outer core generates electric currents. The currents create a magnetic field with invisible lines of force flowing between the Earth’s magnetic poles.

There is a lot about electricity and magnetism generation we do not understand, good thing we "know" more about dark matter and curved space time.

I am interested in EU, I think it's the correct theory to pursue for the future, but I only understand basic concepts about electromagnetism.

So: there are these electromagnetic fillaments, billions of light years long, and galaxies are lined up on them, because in some places these filaments "Z-pinch" and attract matter around, so galaxies are formed there? Is this what the EU theory says?

But what generates these long EM strings? It may be something we cannot understand today, or does EU theory have an explanation?

(Sorry for new post, cannot edit the last one)

@Roshi Plasma Cosmology and its further development Electric Universe theory starts with the fact that 99% of "empty" space is actually plasma, i.e., a mix of charged and neutral particles. When plasma is subject to a current its behavior accords with well known principles. Neon lights glow because the plasma they contain is excited by a current. The plasma in space does not have the same charge everywhere, and so charge differentials can result in a current flowing through the plasma. Plasma is self-organizing; when current flows through plasma certain behaviors and structures result that are significant for the phenomena we see in the cosmos.

The link below is to a video by Don Scott that should serve to get you started. There are many helpful links here, and you will find others on youtube. "See the Pattern" is a useful site.

I'm really not the most knowledgeable person to answer your questions. Please reply after you've explored a bit; I'm sure others will also be happy to help. I've been learning about EU theory for several years, and as far as I'm concerned its the real deal. Good luck!
