The Earth's Core Acts as an Electric Dynamo

By Larry Wright (ECTV) <wright@iinet.com>

The internal heat engine within the planet Earth is only part of the equation. How much of this internal heat is caused by gravitational pressure and how much is caused by electrical energy? There are mega voltages of electric current flowing within the planet. Where there is electrical current there is heat caused by resistance. The greater the electrical current the more resistance and the more heat.

The core of the Earth acts as an electric dynamo and generates electrical currents that flow within the planet between the positive and negative poles. This is the source of Earth's magnetic field. This natural dynamo within the core is moving faster than the exterior of the planet at a relatively constant speed. The electrical current generated by this motion must therefore be fairly constant. The heat generated by this electric current must also be relativity constant.

However, there are other sources of electrical energy that can be absorbed by the planet and add to and increase these internal voltages. One source would be electromagnetic induction caused by disturbances and movement of nearby magnetic fields. Another source is charged particle bombardments interacting with the atmosphere and magnetic field of the Earth. Both of these additional electrical sources can be directly linked to disturbances in the sun.

It's obvious to me that increased solar activity causes greater electrical current flow within the planet. This additional electrical current causes more heat and turns up Earth's internal heat engine. The more heat the greater the magma convection current flow. The greater the magma flow the more heat is transferred from the interior to the exterior of the planet. This then causes increased volcanic and earthquake activity as well as global weather changes and the melting of glaciers and polar ice.

I think that past and present climate changes and fluctuations can be attributed to cycles of solar activity of a greater or lessor degree. When solar activity increases we have global warming. During periods of extended solar decreases we have ice ages.
