So I was right again!
Nope
So I was right again!
Whipple’s dirtysnowball model of comets composed of ice with some dust is one EVOLVING toward MAINLY ROCK.
Whipple 1950 said:The nucleus is visualized as a conglomerate of ices, such as H2O, NH3, CH34, C02 or CO, (C2N2?), and other possible materials volatile at room temperature, combined in a conglomerate with meteoric materials, all initially at extremely low temperatures ( <50° K). Vaporization of the ices by externally applied solar radiation leaves an outer matrix of nonvolatile insulating meteoric material.
But you have to give him that: Real physics is dealing with electric fields, and that is all he needs to claim victory. He is prepared to jettison anything of the original "model", if only the word "electric", or perhaps "ambipolar" is mentioned.

Total woo. No discharges, no rock, no mechanism, no evidence. You are flogging a dead horse.
Episode 1 – Charge Separation in the Plasma Environment of Comet 67P
I see that Sol88 still has no evidence, just the same old recycled myths and fairy tales.
I'll use this post of yours, Sol88, but many others would do.
You've been banging on like this for what, several years now?
And almost every time you do, you get pushback, almost always questioning the veracity of your claims, sometimes even calling you out for mis-quoting. Many ISF members respond, many include science-based explanations of why you're off in a world of your own.
In all that time, and with all those posts, it seems you have convinced precisely no one else of the scientific validity of the ELECTRIC COMET model (or theory)!
Do you, at least sometimes, wonder why this is?
How come you are so spectacularly unsuccessful?
Are you concerned, even a little bit, about being perceived as a spamming troll?
Nope, because that was NOT Whipple's model, as I have told you dozens of times already. To quote Whipple himself from the abstract of his paper:

Please explain how you read from this "ice with some dust"? You are not even familiar with the model which you want to "overthrow", for crying out loud!
Astronomers tinkering with ice and organics in the lab may have discovered why comets are encased in a hard, outer crust.
Michael F A’HearnAt the simplest level, a very basic question is whether comets are mostly ice or mostly rock/dirt/refractory material. Whipple’s [2] model of the dirty snowball, the rst quantitative model, envisioned cometary nuclei as mostly ice, although our understanding has been evolving more toward mostly rock, particularly for 67P/C-G for which refractory/volatile ratios as high as 6 have been cited
Measurement trumps "being able to visualize it"??Nope, because that was NOT Whipple's model, as I have told you dozens of times already. To quote Whipple himself from the abstract of his paper:

Nevertheless, there is still considerable uncertainty about even this basic parameter, not least of which is that most measurements are subject to selection effects in removing refractories from the nucleus to the coma, where they are observed as dust.
Evidence of Electrical Activity on Comet 67P: Towards an Electrochemical Framework for Cometary Phenomena Franklin Anariba, PhD
Instead, my intention is bring to everyone’s attention that there could be other mechanisms at work for the origin of water and other chemical species in the cometary coma. One mechanism is proton implantation, which has been recalled to explain water ice presence on craters in the moon....
Another mechanism, mostly unknown to the astronomical community, is based on electrochemical principles which I have named electron-stripping. This mechanism can be dominant at larger heliocentric distances, away from perihelion, when the voltage differential between the comet and the surrounding plasma sheath of the sun can be largest.
Interestingly, the authors add: “A simple scenario would be that the pick-up ions initially move along the undisturbed solar wind electric field, while the newly created electrons . . . drift, causing a charge separation [emphasis added]. The electric field of that charge separation would initially have a component opposite to the solar wind electric field and a component in the anti-sunward direction. This is consistent with both the flow of the water ions and the observed deflection of the solar wind.” The implications are three-fold:
a. Charge separation is due to an electric field, which is an indication of the presence of voltage differential.
b. If the accelerated water cations (H2O+) are traveling from the direction of the sun, electrons must be traveling in the direction towards the sun.
c. The high water cation flux production rate may be an indication that another process is at work besides the traditionally proposed photoionization due to ultraviolet radiation.
Solar wind sputtering can explain dust jets and water ice formation in less illuminated areas of the comet,
but not those areas facing the sun as the solar wind does not penetrate through the plasma sheath of the comet. These findings suggest another mechanism must be at work along solar wind sputtering to generate all of the dust found in the coma. A corollary of this study is that proton ion implantation is more likely to occur in areas of less illumination.
Taken together, it is reasonable to attribute the observed water ice formed in less illuminated areas to proton (H+) implantation into refractory silicates where they interact with oxygen atoms located in the refractory silicate lattice structures. This is not unusual as it has already been demonstrated to occur in laboratory experiments and thought to be the dominant mechanism for water ice found on crater rims on the moon.
The authors explained the observation via the folding umbrella pattern of dust nanograins. In this reasoning, water nanograins are dragged out by gas outflow, which are then pushed back in the direction of the nucleus by radiation pressure.
But this attribution is problematic and to some degree contradictory for the following reasons:
a. The folding umbrella pattern would indicate dust nanograins travel towards the nucleus, thus contradicting the observation that the negative-charged dust nanograins were moving from the direction of the nucleus when detected.
Particles with a < 10 nm, due their diminishing β, travel for a long time and reach distances d apex > 105 km, and due to charging (discussed below) and the orbital motion of the comet, are unlikely to return to the vicinity of the nucleus.
Ignoring cometary outgassing, the effects of surface electric fields can be quickly estimated to show that their contribution to the energization of negatively charged nano-dust grains is expected to remain negligible
O2 and H2O formation by electrochemical means – In this method, O2, O2-, OH, -OH, and other chemical species are released into the coma by various mechanisms, such as “electron-stripping,” solar wind sputtering, and solar heating. In this context, O2 can absorb a negative charged through charge exchange due to demonstrated high electron densities in the vicinity of the nucleus, followed up by protonation via the solar wind. Subsequently, water can then be formed via at least two pathways linking O2 and H2O formation:
As can be ascertained by reading most of the reports published on scientific journals on comet 67P, the main paradigm is the one proposed by Whipple some time ago which can be called the Condensation-Sublimation model. I am not here to refute this model, which I recognize to be of importance near perihelion distances if comets were to contain large amounts of volatiles ices on their surface or in their subsurface
Ah yes, I'd forgotten the staggering, whole-hearted acceptance of a particularly simple logical fallacy (false dichotomy).Meh, not really.
See post above. Now toddle off and THINK.
Whipple dirtysnowball model is wrong...so now what?
Another key component: full-throated acceptance of the false dichotomy logical fallacy; anything which Sol88 thinks is inconsistent with the "Whipple dirty snowball model" is automatically proof of the ELECTRIC COMET model ... never mind that any such data may also be inconsistent with the ELECTRIC COMET model ...But you have to give him that: Real physics is dealing with electric fields, and that is all he needs to claim victory. He is prepared to jettison anything of the original "model", if only the word "electric", or perhaps "ambipolar" is mentioned.
You repliedSol88, please confirm that you believe comets are solid rock.
You request that I ask a dead person about what you believe. Let that sink in for a bit. Instead of answering a simple question directed to you, you deflect it to someone who is dead, who probably didn't know and/or care about who you are or what you do, and avoid answering the question.Please ask Mr A’Hearn. Oh... RIP’ol mate.
How mostly does the rock have to evolve before we call it ROCK???
You repliedPlease confirm that the "electric universe" idea is based upon that comets are solid rock.
Thank you for confirming that the "electric universe" idea believes in solid rock comets.So what’s turning the rock to dust, ten toes?

8 October 2018: Usual lying question to derail from his electric comet insanity.Whipple’s dirtysnowball model of comets composed of ice with some dust is one EVOLVING toward MAINLY ROCK.
A’Hearn's "rock" is the ices and dust material of comets as known by anyone who has learned about real comets.c) What are comets made of? At the simplest level, a very basic question is whether comets are mostly ice or mostly rock/dirt/refractory material. Whipple’s [2] model of the dirty snowball, the first quantitative model, envisioned cometary nuclei as mostly ice, although our understanding has been evolving more toward mostly rock, particularly for 67P/C-G for which refractory/volatile ratios as high as 6 have been cited [3,4]. Nevertheless, there is still considerable uncertainty about even this basic parameter, not least of which is that most measurements are subject to selection effects in removing refractories from the nucleus to the coma, where they are observed as dust. With improvements in remote sensing over the last decade and particularly the wealth of measurements from Rosetta, we are making large strides in answering the question of which volatiles (ices) are near the surface of cometary nuclei, and the Deep Impact experiment implies that the near-surface volatiles are representative of the deeper interior [5,6]. The indications are that there is a large dispersion in relative abundances with only very limited correlations between relative abundances and any other parameters. On the other hand, we know very little about the abundance of the many possible refractory species. As noted above, there were great advances from the Stardust mission, particularly the clear demonstration that cometary silicate grains had been transported from near the Sun to the region of cometary formation, but the selection effects in collecting the returned samples make it almost impossible to say much quantitatively about the bulk abundances of refractories [7].

11 October 2018: An insanely stupid question and lie to derail from his electric comet insanity
He has been told for the last 9 years where comets come from and gives the answer: How did comets form?. He then lies about that answer being dusty plasma when the link states "gas and dust".
For others:
This looks like parroting of one of the delusions of the Thunderbolts cult. They think that because 99% of the visible matter in the universe is plasma then all gas must be plasma. Thus his delusion that "gas and dust" must be dusty plasma. They cannot understand that the 99% is mostly stars! The molecular clouds that collapse to form stellar systems are part of the 1% of not plasma. Plasma is not a large factor until the star ignites and theinterplanetary medium becomes a plasma. The formation of planets and comets starts when there is little or no plasma.
What makes the question insanely stupid is that he and his deluded Thunderbolts cult deny this textbook astronomy.
Sol88's electric comet insanity:
Sol88's comet delusions include comets are rocks; these rocks were blasted from the Earth including recently; blasting was by electrical discharges between Earth and Venus; an imaginary solar electric field charges up comets; the charge causes never detected electrical discharges; comet jets are electrical discharges; images show that comets are rocks; Birkeland currents in comets and their tails with no appropriate magnetic field; papers using bedrock to describe layers of ices support his comet are rock delusion, imaginary double layers do magic; many years of lying that ices have not been detected on comets, a "hard shell of refractory +material on the outside" lie, insanity of consolidated ices and dust in papers being rock, an insane spate of lies about ices and dust papers.
Totally inane delusions about charge separation doing magic. Stupidly thinks that a ambipolar electric field is a double layer.
Insanity of dust removal from the surface changing measured comet density
Electrical discharge machining insanity
must be a hoax paper because they talk about gas and every eu proponent knows that a plasma is not a gas
Complete nonsense. No rock. Anywhere. Not detected. Would have been. Game over. Goodnight.
p.s. Data doesn't evolve. It is what it is. All those measurements and observations since the impact at Tempel 1, 13 years ago, in conjunction with the results from CONSERT, MIRO, MUPUS, CASSE/ SESAME and others, totally rule out rock. Show us the observation of rock. Scientifically.

Current is "how many" free electrons pass at point in time. To say the solar wind isn't a current is silly.
