    14 Tesla magnet strength? Too much?

    1 T is right on for the surface field of a neodymium magnet. If you look up those magnets for sale you will find the surface fields vary from 1 to 1.5 T.

    Homopolar motor teaches about the Lorenz Force

    I have made a new version of Faraday's homopolar motor. This was the first device to demonstrate the connection between electricity, magnetism and motion. Faraday's motor included a beaker of mercury as the outer conductor. This has been demonstrated in classes. My motor comprises gold-plated...

    What is the Electric Field Strength of the Sun?

    There should be an electric field in the corona/heliosphere, owing the fact that electrons and protons have a much different mass. But, this field is too small to measure. There are some theories that the solar wind dynamics are related to this field, the 'exospheric theory'. But, most in...

    Solar Radiation AM - Danilo's Question

    AM should be quite small sorry, i didnt read that carefully enough. there is not a lot published on this topic, probably because the modulations in IR intensity in the megahertz range are very small. I would guess the relative amplitude is less than 1/1,000,000. the flucutations caused by...

    Solar Radiation AM - Danilo's Question

    Sun radiates in radio range I'm in solar astronomy but not an expert in radio. The sun radiates in the range you are in interested in from the 'quiet sun' and from 'active regions'. there are variations as these regions evolve and the sun rotates. Also, eruptions such as flares and coronal...

    Newton: Is MOND the Answer to Dark Matter?

    MOND vs DM vs Magnetic Confinement ? As someone who came into astrophysics from laboratiry plasma physics (fusion) I have a different perspective on this. I've read a few articles explaining flat rotation curves using magnetic confinement. one group is in spain and the other is in los alamos...
