So far so good, unlike the sublimating "Dark Ice or super volatiles" that's exceptionally good at hiding! Such as that which is needed for your explosive collimated "jet"
Add up all the surprises to date (With the mainstream model) and compare them to the Electric Comets surprises...telling is it not?
from thre first link, dranariba writes
"In this model [mainstrea model, 1005], the solar wind-associated interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) interacts with comet’s coma, creating a bow shock due to the pile up of magnetic fields on the sunward direction of the comet. "
again dranariba snows he has no clue, thisxdoes not a bow shock create, a bow schock is created by an obstacle in the flow and its presence being communicated upstream by (fast) waves. depnding on the size and caracteristics of the object this can form a bow shock at which the flow is slowed from super- to subsonic velocities.
it has nothing to do with the magnetic field piling up in front of the nucleus, that is determined by the outgassing and ionization rate.
dranariba should first read up on basics before writing nonsense
another quote
"Equally important to this model, neutral gas molecules in the coma are thought to sublimate from the nucleus and then undergo photoionization by extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation emanating from the sun, resulting in charge separation and the formation of a plasma sheath surrounding the nucleus."
the gas cannot BUT ionize in the uv of the sun, but he use of "charge separation" is weird, because it just creates ions and electrons and although they are now "separated" it is not what we usually call charge separation in which + goes to the left and - goes to the right. it does create a partially ionized (dusty) plasma around the nucleus, but i am afraid that dranariba puts tbhe thunderdolts on the wrong leg.
a last quote (i need to go to the pool)
"The authors discard the classical pick up ion instabilities as the source of the magnetic oscillations and instead propose that photoionized ions move transverse to the magnetic field but along the solar wind, which flows in the direction of the electric field, in what is called a cross-field electric current density. In other words, the electric fields control cometary ion motion but in a different way from the known mass loading action."
first of all the lorenz force makes the particles gyrate only perpendicular to the magnetic field (imf) and not perpendicular to the solar wind direction, again a basic mistake from dranariba
the, we do not discard clasdical pick up, of which the process in the oaper is part. we see the newly formed particles (ions) when the are just ionized and are accelerated by the motionsl electric filed (which is perp to imf ad sw directions) but as the field is so lw and the mass is so high the gyration radius is on the order of 10000 km. when we are at the source this part of the circle we see can be considered a straight line an we get that the ions flow perpendicular to the field creating this cross field current, driven by the solar wind motional electric field in the rest frame of the ions.
it is EXACTLY like the mass loading mechanism
dranariba is talking bull, and does not understand the papers he reads
enough now
