Other Comments About CMEs


One major problem with CME's as forecast is about how the flare from the sun is both overdue by solar weather research and known frequency and that the power wires as now up will lose power by damage to the transformers, the last major CME in 1859 caused the so called Carrington Event, telegraph operators were shocked and burned, and in the 1920's phone calls in Europe were stopped by another smaller CME. A CME in the 1980's caused power loss to millions in Quebec.

The transformers that may be damaged are expensve and take several years to make. The internet and "cell wires" would be down, and no electric power to pump gas at the station may lead to no transportation, no food. Worse yet, atomic power plants are powered to cool by the electric power and backup generators last just 30 days, leading to 30 Chernobyls in the US. Other problems like hospital machines without electricity and sanitation problems, no potable water also may be involved. As I've said on other posts, I think we might solve the worst about the atomic machines by the small all in one atomic power plants already well proven and cheap and also geothermal connections for installations like service stations, essentially connecting to a more reliable source of power, for the atomic power plants a more powerful connection and for other uses the geothermal would power the small machines without risk of volitility, for the same reason we don't have atomic planes and cars, boats maybe, where's my atomic boat?

I also discuss the possibility of two longer term solutions, small wires to high altitude from the surface of the earth to collect power from the spin of the earth for common power use and lots of it; in the event of a storm, the wires migth radiate out some of the power at the tops, forming a radiant shield. In addition to lots of power from the spin of the Earth, the wires may have other uses, in addition to stopping the CME's. I believe they may reduce earthquakes by draining off the uneven torque of the land and water in the N and S of the Earth becuawe there's more water than land there and this may be causing uneven tidal flexing. There are actually 2/3ds of the earthquakes and volcanoes near the first 10 days of the month due to the higher tides then, not the more prosaic 1/3 we might expect (or expect since the early 1900's since this was first found then.). Thus earthquakes and volcanoes may be caused by the tides, and the torque might be evened out by the wires, leading perhaps to a 50% reduction in their occurence. the wires might also make good small safe cheap towers to cheaply or at no cost launch small payloads into orbit that would then reassemble, or even to stop precession and the start of future ice ages since they're well known to be associated with 25,000 year cycles of the precession in onset. Another idea of mine was a sort of thin net like the giant shield some have proposed to counteract global warming. Like gladiators of old, throw the net in the path of the fire orb thrown by the sun god.

The first methods the power palnts and geothermal, are short range, the wires and or the nets may take more time. I think there may even be a way to completely stop CME's for the more advanced defence. As I say here

I believe Jupiter's 11 year orbit may be the cause of the CME's. Jupiter has a far stronger magnetic field than the sun and the precession of the Jupiter's sulphur erupting moon Io may cause the modulation of the 22 year cycles, not 11 years as we would expect if Jupiter's orbit alone was the cause, ect. The strong field and gravity of Jupiter may pull the CME's out of the side of the sun and if the earth is in it's path we have the events. Thus since the cog of the Solar Jupiter system is also outside the solar surface, we might be better able to predict when the solar flares would hit the earth since the most probable time when they would reach the earth if caused by Jupiter could be when the earth is in the line of travel between the sun and Jupiter, where the line of the path of force carrying the CME would be most common, ect.
