Scary, especially if those scientists are right who theorize that Mars'
atmosphere was "scrubbed" away in a process that began with a loss of its
magnetic field.

You believe a guy they call ''Stoner''?

1. Particles with no net charge would not be deflected with or without the
magnetic field.
2. Particles would have to pass through the atmosphere to do any direct
damage to humans.
3. The changes would in upper atmosphere chemistry, the Van Allen Belts and
ionospheric layers.
4. The rotation of the earth would speed due to less magnetic damping.
5. The axis of rotation may shift, due to the new torque axis.
6. Lightning will strike from the ground up and will be driven by
electrostatic forces rather than magnetic forces.
7. The 35s5 will still consistently finish in the back of the pack.
8. Katy's beehive will be capable of holding 10 Megavolt charges for days on
end.
9. Scotty will like his boat even more.
10. Anemia will be cured.


Amen!

They have an electro-magnetic effect, cause power
outages by inducing over-current situations.

outages by inducing over-current situations.

Movement of the ionosphere, as well as currents within, which can be caused
by solar ejections and other things (induced EMP), induces currents into
powerlines. These currents induced into powerlines cause the cores of
transformers to saturate and greatly increase the third harmonic of the 60
Hz waveform. This third harmonic changes the waveform from a sinusoid to a
non- montonic rounded spike whose total voltage component is greater than
the 60 Hz, which causes overloads in the transmission system.

If the sun spewed a steady stream of particles there would be little or no
induced currents as, from Gauss's Law, it is the time change in flux density
that causes the time rate change of current in a closed conducting loop. The
change in flux due to the earth's rotation through the particle stream may
induce currents, but not to the scale of a moving ionosphere.

Are the currents induced on the power lines as result of magnetic or
electric induction? Properly laid out powerlines reverse the twin lead
periodically (as in twisted pairs) to decrease the magnetic induction. The
lines are generally laid out orthognal to the electric field of the earth.
Particles would have to pass between the power lines or strike them (in an
overwhelming majority of one polarity) to induce blackouts. I think it's all
caused by hair stylists.

It's caused by volcanos in your nose.
