However, we know now that it is too hot inside the planet to produce and maintain a magnetic field there.
It is the hot conditions and the enormous pressure that create the conductivity necessary to support the dynamo.

The magnetic field is generated by the system’s ring current, which is made up of charged particles.
These particles drift in the Earth’s magnetic field and are ultimately controlled by the Sun, but has nothing to do with maintaining the dynamo.

So, in all, your new theory is not viable. To be told that, is always a let-down [I know, because some of my ideas have also in the past been shut down], but continue your study of our cosmos and derive joy from learning about this wondrous place.

I am sending a news release regarding Earth’s magnetic field that you can use on your blog. Please consider using it. You can find images on my website.

Earth’s Magnetic Field Is Produced By An External Dynamo System, Not An Internal Dynamo.

Researcher finds that Earth’s magnetic field is not produced by an internal dynamo. Nor is it produced by ocean current. The dynamo is outside the Planet! New findings by independent researcher, Dennis Brooks, show that Earth’s magnetic field and the planet itself are components of a complex dynamo system, which surrounds the planet. The planet and its magnetic field are part of the dynamo.

According to this new theory, no internal dynamo or ocean current helps in producing or maintaining the magnetic field because other planets with magnetic fields do not have ocean currents or iron cores.

Each planet does not have a unique way of producing its magnetic field. The magnetic field of each planet is produced by a planetary dynamo system and its ring current.

For many years researchers thought that a similar dynamo system was within the planet and that this internal dynamo generated the magnetic field. However, we know now that it is too hot inside the planet to produce and maintain a magnetic field there.

The planetary dynamo system is composed of a magnetosphere, the planet, the magnetic field, radiation belts, ring current, and charged particles from the solar wind. The planet is the central component of the system and its rotation plays an important part in operating the dynamo and generating ring current. The magnetic field is generated by the system’s ring current, which is made up of charged particles. The magnetic field captures even more charged particles and brings them into the dynamo system as fuel. Everything works together.

Earth’s inner and outer core simply cannot provide the fuel a dynamo system needs. If earth’s dynamo had to depend on energy from the planet for fuel, the entire planet would have been completely consumed many years ago.

“Christensen demonstrates how it is not unusual for a big corporation to dismiss the value of a disruptive technology because it does not reinforce current company goals, only to be blindsided as the technology matures, gains a larger audience and marketshare, and threatens the status quo.

Thought about the fact that you already do publish on your own website as I was responding to tallbloke, Leif. I believe that your doing this demonstrates an understanding of the potential of the web; and the demands which will be increasingly made for scholarship to be open and available for comment, modification and expansion in something close to real time… a daunting thought in many ways, and sure to create its own unique problems, but, nevertheless, the way it will be.

Pre-publication of “Reconstructing The Heliospheric Magnetic Field Since 1835″ here has demonstrated the capacity of the web to attract comment, tap the knowledge (and lack of knowledge) of others, and generally disseminate scholarship at a speed undreamed of until now.

Liberating for the open mind. Dangerous for the closed. Posing more questions… but, despite this, the way it will be short of shutting down the web.

Wholly agree with this comment, but can see how it will take time to get the hard glue in this pot fluid again so it can be re-poured into the mold the 21st century will demand. The steps Shorty sets out in his comments sound like a good beginning.

An example of resistance to change has poked its head up these past few weeks. Books for e-readers which could be purchased over the web from anywhere are suddenly being locked into territories. This book cannot be purchased from Australia or this country or that. Turf wars… but I figure that in this, as in the scientific area noted above, the dinosaurs will, albeit reluctantly, finally retire into history.

It is made hard to read, by the requirement that the text and the Figures, and [most distractingly] the Figure captions be separated into different sections of the paper. This means that the reader does not see where the Figure goes in the text, and cannot interpret the Figure without having to hunt down its caption somewhere else. All in all, it is an enormous pain and extra burden on the reviewer, but the publisher can now claim copyright because of the ‘creative’ work of making the paper readable by putting things together where they belong.

Reading this and your other comment about paywalls and public access to knowledge, I’m firmly of the opinion that scientists should form a committee of agreement, and assert copyright over their own material, and publish it on a website for all to see. Then if the journals want to print it so they have something to put between the covers of their publications, they pay for the priviledge.

They have had a free ride for too long.

As good as a jump from the Golden Gate bridge.
