At ISF: 18th May 2010 Micheal Mozina's iron crust has been totally debunked
His solar "model" is 13 years and counting of
This is Kristian Birkeland. His main success was showing that aurora are (mainly) caused by currents now named after him: Birkeland currents. We know about the component of the aurora that he may not have known about - the light emitted by protons exciting atoms.
He had a primitive solar model in his book that scientists know today was understandably wrong and thus ignore. A radioactivity (e.g. from radium) powered Sun that emitted only electrons travelling almost the speed of light which hit the Earth, thus aurora. Radium and other "radio-elements" as a source of energy from "disintegration" first appears on page 314 in the "THE SOURCE OF THE SUN'S HEAT" chapter.
A newspaper report also has him stating that the Sun is a cathode in a lecture.
Nuclear fusion as a source of the Sun's energy was not proposed until 1920, 3 years after Birkeland's death.

His solar "model" is 13 years and counting of
- An "iron mountain ranges on the Sun" delusion.
- Denial of the theory and evidence that the Sun has a convective zone (observed convection cells and from 2012 currents!) and thus no layers in its outer third.
- The delusion that taking a running difference of images turns images of a solar flare in the corona (solar atmosphere!) into iron mountain ridges on the Sun's surface.
- A lie that some TRACE images of the solar corona thousands of kilometers above the surface of the Sun are "of the sun's surface".

Today
- We know that the Sun is powered by fusion at its center.
- We know that the Sun emits a neutral solar wind that is both ions (mostly protons) and electrons.
- We know that the solar wind has a speed much slower than the speed of light (fast solar wind ~750 km/s, c = 299,792 km/s).
The Planeterrella: an amazing polar light simulator states that the device is available for school demonstrations.Dr Gabrielle Provan of the University of Leicester Physics & Astronomy department demonstrates how Aurora Borealis (or the Northern Lights) are created.
Using a Planeterrella designed by CNRS scientist Jean Lilensten she recreates Kristian Birkeland's 100+ year old experiment. Showing how charged particles within solar winds coming from our Sun collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere to create a natural light display.
