1 Solar Cycle induced through Coriolis Effect Bart Leplae 22-May-2011 hotmail.com 1

2 Introduction This paper shows a correlation between the Solar Cycle and the velocity variations of the Sun which are influenced by the relative positions of the planets. A working model is proposed based on the Rotating Medium Model presented in previous papers. 2

3 Solar Data: Sources GravitySimulator Tool Source: Simulation: The Barycenter of the Solar System Orbit simulation run from 1750 till 2020 Export orbit parameters of Sun (and planets) to CSV file Adjustment: add offset to Vx and Vy velocity values in such a way that long-term average Vx and Vy values become zero Calculate velocity of Sun (using adjusted Vx and Vy values) V = SQRT(Vx^2 + Vy^2) SIDC - Solar Influences Data Analysis Center SIDC-team, World Data Center for the Sunspot Index, Royal Observatory of Belgium, Monthly Report on the International Sunspot Number, online catalogue of the sunspot index: data 1749 till

4 Solar Data Correlation Velocity of Sun: Caclulated from Vx, Vy data generated with Gravity Simulator Red spots = moments of increasing number of sun spots (derived from below graph) Solar Sun Spot data as published by SIDC - Solar Influences Data Analysis Center 4

5 Solar Data Interpretation Every increase and every decrease of Sun velocity triggers a Solar Cycle Exception : grand minimum 1800 = Dalton Minimum 5

6 Solar Data Correlation Start of Solar Cycle activity is externally triggered through the change in velocity of the Sun Decrease of Solar Cycle activity is internally triggered upon having reached the maximum 6

7 Solar Data Correlation Dalton Minimum Maximum of solar cycle activity is reached when solar velocity becomes constant (occuring at min. or at max. velocity) OR Maximum of solar cycle activity is reached when a threshold level is attained that is determined by the previously built up magnetism 7

8 Solar Data Correlation Dalton Minimum Maximum of solar cycle is determined by the amount of magnetism built up during prior Solar Cycles Decrease of Solar activity is delayed due to increasing solar velocity (resulting in less steep slope) Maximum of solar cycle is reached when sun velocity reaches a constant level (at maximum value) 8

9 Solar Data Correlation Only one Cycle during Minimum Missing cycle: affected the attainable maxima during the next solar cycles 9

10 Rotating Medium Model Model and evidence introduced in paper: Working model Stellar Planetary Aberration on: Bart Leplae Stellar aberration as observed during stellar and planetary occultations by the moon can be explained through a rotating medium. Medium rotates around the Sun with the same speed as the planets 10

11 Rotating Medium Model 29,78 km/s 35,02 km/s 47,87 km/s 24km/s Medium rotates faster near the inner planets 5,43 km/s 13,07km/s 9,69 km/s 6,81 km/s 11

12 Rotating Medium Model Medium rotates slower nearby the Center of Mass of the Solar System A significant velocity gradient must exist in the rotating medium between Mercury and the Center of Mass of Solar system 47,87 km/s 12

13 Coriolis Effect.. The Coriolis effect enforces moving objects to follow the rotation of the rotating frame 13

14 Rotating Medium Model/Coriolis Effect The faster the Sun moves through the rotating medium, the stronger the Sun becomes subject to the Coriolis Effect. Sun C% Center of Mass The relative alignment of the planets determine the orientation and amount of separation between Sun and the Center of Mass of the Solar System 14

15 Magnetism Model introduced in paper: Magnetism - Gravity Working Model on: Bart Leplae Electrons drag the medium in the same direction. The closer to the wire, the stronger the medium flows along with the electrons. Medium flows faster between the two wires because of the addition The magnetic force that forces the two wires towards each other is caused by the Bernouilli effect exercised by the flowing medium. 15

16 Magnetism Flow of electrons in wire Resultant Magnetic Force Resultant Magnetic Force Medium rotates around the coils because of the drag caused by the electrons. The medium between the two coils rotates faster because it is dragged by the electrons of both wires. The coils are forced towards each other because of the Bernouilli effect. (Analogy: lift of frisbee) 16

17 Magnetism Wikipedia: The 'London moment' is a quantum-mechanical phenomenon whereby a spinning superconductor generates a magnetic field whose axis lines up exactly with the spin axis. The term may also refer to the magnetic moment of any rotation of any superconductor, caused by the electrons lagging behind the rotation of the object. Electrons in the superconductor keep their position relative to the medium surrounding the superconductor and thereby induce an electric current in the superconductor. Hypothesis: this effect is not limited to superconductors, but is just less pronounced in other conductors. 17

18 Magnetism The Sun has inertia. When the velocity of the Sun increases, the medium rotating around the Sun will initially rotate faster than the surface of the Sun. Sun + 11 C% + Center of Mass Induced magnetism reverses when velocity of the Sun decreases. The medium will drag the free electrons in the Solar surface, thereby inducing an electric current Induced magnetism is strongest when velocity is increasing the most. This electric current Induces the Sun Magnetism 18

19 Magnetic Reversals The magnetism induced at the surface of the Sun starts with the same magnetic direction (N/S) as the inner magnetic field The inner magnetic field adjusts itself by reversing its field (through a physical displacement of the Sun plasma) This process of magnetic reversals causes the Solar spots 19

20 Summary The Rotating Medium Model explains how changes in the magnetic field of the Sun (causing the Sun Spots) are synchronized with changes in its orbital motion about the barycentre of the Solar System. The model explains how the relatively weak planetary forces on the Sun are indirectly able to influence the solar activity on the surface of the Sun. The Solar Cycle is governed by the movement of the Sun through the Rotating Medium which is in turn is determined by the relative positions of the planets. 20
