Transfer of Electricity in Energy Engineering

This paper aims to suggest and research a revolutionary method-transfer of electricity in outer Space with distance of hundreds of millions kilometers by ultra-cool plasma cables. Theory of plasma cable transferring is offered, developed and its possibilities researched. Offers conclusions from the research of a revolutionary new idea-transferring electric energy in the hard vacuum of outer space wirelessly, using a plasma power cord as an electric cable (wire).Transference of hundreds kilowatts of energy to Earth’s Space Station, transferring energy to the Moon or back, transferring energy to a spaceship at distance 100 million of kilometers, the transfer energy to Mars when one is located at opposite side of the distant Sun, transfer colossal energy from one of Earth’s continents to another continent wirelessly – using Earth’s ionosphere as cable, using Earth as gigantic storage of electric energy, using the plasma ring as huge MagSail for moving of spaceships.

Pre-storm <I>Nm</I>F2 enhancements at middle latitudes: delusion or reality?

A critical analysis of recent publications devoted to the NmF2 pre-storm enhancements is performed. There are no convincing arguments that the observed cases of NmF2 enhancements at middle and sub-auroral latitudes bear a relation to the following magnetic storms. In all cases considered the NmF2 pre-storm enhancements were due to previous geomagnetic storms, moderate auroral activity or they presented the class of positive quiet time events (Q-disturbances). Therefore, it is possible to conclude that there is no such an effect as the pre-storm NmF2 enhancement as a phenomenon inalienably related to the following magnetic storm. The observed nighttime NmF2 enhancements at sub-auroral latitudes may result from plasma transfer from the plasma ring area by meridional thermospheric wind. Enhanced plasmaspheric fluxes into the nighttime F2-region resulted from westward substorm-associated electric fields is another possible source of nighttime NmF2 enhancements. Daytime positive Q-disturbances occurring under very low geomagnetic activity level may be related to the dayside cusp activity.
