Spiral galaxies and homopolar motors
http://www.thunderbolts.info/tpod/2005/arch05/050415milkyway.htm ^

Wikipedia describes the concept of a homopolar motor:

A homopolar motor has a magnetic field along the axis of rotation and an electric current that at some point is not parallel to the magnetic field. The name homopolar refers to the absence of polarity change.

Homopolar motors necessarily have a single-turn coil, which limits them to very low voltages. This has restricted the practical application of this type of motor....

...The homopolar motor was the first ever device to produce rotation from electromagnetism itself. It was first built and demonstrated by Michael Faraday in 1821 at the Royal Institution in London...

Ever wonder what makes a spiral galaxy such as our Milky Way spin?

Same basic thing. X-ray telescopes are turning up pictures of the actual center of our galaxy and what the pictures show is a homopolar motor

Numerous other cosmic objects turn out to be the same thing:

The Thunderbolts forum article describes the phenomenon thus:

....A much different thought system sees the electric force as more fundamental than gravity. When considering new images from space, proponents of the Electric Universe emphasize structures that were never anticipated by the gravitational models but that were predicted by plasma cosmologists. As demonstrated in numerous laboratory experiments, electric currents in plasma can produce all of the common structures observed in the heavens, from simple filaments to the polar jets of stars and galaxies to the “wheels within wheels” found at the cores of nebulas and other high-energy formations. ....

I didn't realize that Duracell batteries and sheetrock screws were available to Faraday.

Seriously, though, what is your evidence against black holes?

Monopolar electric motors drive galaxies? PING!

If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.

Do they use homopolar motors to power blogs?

(And are the blogger's homomotors furry?)

“Ok, so what does hold galaxies together? Why do the spiral arms rotate around the center? Why don’t they just fly apart? Why do they look just like a hurricane?

Must be some kind of force not yet determined or explained that I know of.”

Phi knows.

Electromagnetizm. Nothing fancier than that is needed. It's as clear as day in some cases:

A good example is the spiral galaxy shown above. The arms, particularly the upper arm, show material being held in a straight line until some point at which the field breaks down, after which material very quickly trails away and dissipates. Gravity and inertia cannot do things like that.

Homopolar.

Seriously, though, what is your evidence against black holes?

For starters, if there actually was a black hole at the center of our galaxy, you'd see material streaming into it from all directions, and not spinning around the core of the galaxy as the images actually show.

Things like black holes and dark matter are requirements of a paradigm which posits that gravity, the weakest force in nature, controls the cosmos at a macro level.

The basic problem is the distances and sizes involved. Our own sun and Alpha Centauri for instance comprise a system roughly comparable to two dust motes four miles apart. That's typical for our galaxy, and gravity simply cannot hold two dust motes together from four miles distance.Even the laughable claim that "dark matter(TM)" comprises 95% of the universe doesn't help the picture; that amounts to a claim that gravity can hold two dust motes together from one tenth of a mile apart, and that doesn't happen in real life either.

Homopolar motors

Isn't that the car company that builds the Prius?

We’ve found another “I Sing The Universe, Electric” person!

What that is telling you IMO, is that our models and theory’s of the universe are just that, and the universe will operate with our models and theory’s not standing.

The evolutionist will find a way to work it into his answer to you that there is no god, whether they do it subtly or overtly.

I could go on but that would be thread hi-jack.

Obviously that is a huge galaxy. Is that a quasar on the lower right? The thing is so bright it is burning up the film/ccd.

That entire image at the top is the center of our own galaxy from xray telescopes. The bright red thing I believe is Sagatarus A (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*) which some view as a ‘black hole’, assuming they believe in black holes...

Anyone who tries to convince me that there’s no God is wasting both of our time....:)

I *wondered* what was up with those motors. Thanks Swordmaker.
