Standard theorists claim this shows the Sun is not a positive anode because electrons should move toward the Sun. Of course, this is a simpleton argument. The fact is, since positive ions are flowing away from the Sun, they will themselves attract electrons and pull the electrons along with them.

They are visibly connected by a plasma field.
What else do you call this?

Oh boy, now it turns out you don't know jack about electricity. The electric field in a given point of space is the same, whether it's for a positive or negative charge particle. If there is a field that is driving electrons away from the Sun, that same field would drive ions toward the Sun. Which is the opposite of what you are saying yourself.
The solar wind is made of Hydrogen (95%) and Helium (4%) and Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Neon, Magnesium, Silicon and Iron (~1%). These atoms are all in the form of positive ions
In a positive corona, secondary electrons, for further avalanches, are generated predominantly in the fluid itself, in the region outside the plasma or avalanche region. They are created by ionization caused by the photons emitted from that plasma in the various de-excitation processes occurring within the plasma after electron collisions, the thermal energy liberated in those collisions creating photons which are radiated into the gas. The electrons resulting from the ionisation of a neutral gas molecule are then electrically attracted back toward the curved electrode, attracted into the plasma, and so begins the process of creating further avalanches inside the plasma.
As can be seen, the positive corona is divided into two regions, concentric around the sharp electrode. The inner region contains ionising electrons, and positive ions, acting as a plasma, the electrons avalanche in this region, creating many further ion/electron pairs. The outer region consists almost entirely of the slowly migrating massive positive ions, moving toward the uncurved electrode along with, close to the interface of this region, secondary electrons, liberated by photons leaving the plasma, being re-accelerated into the plasma. The inner region is known as the plasma region, the outer as the unipolar region.

I'm kind of wondering about the sun. If it is electrical and gets it's energy from outside. Somehow pulled or thrusted to a point the sun gets created.
How does the model explains the death of a star ?

The flow of electrons would be immense and we exactly now its direction. It should be easily detecteble. Where did you get the idea that a vacuum is filled with diffuse electrons, and that it would be very hard to detect a flow of electrons because of this? Lets take a look at the priciple of a CRT screen. It is a vacuum with an electron cannon. These electrons are fired at a fluorescent screen which lights up. The amount of energy needed to fuel the sun would be much higher than that of an CRT screen. If electrons would be flying through the vacuum of space (powered by whatever force), wouldn't we be able to detect it easily? Just hold up a fluorescent screen in space and it would light up brightly. Why wouldn't that work?
It seems to me that the theory that the sun is fueled by electrons flying through a vacuum is pretty much disproven. So they have to be channeled there by another method. Only thing I can think of is a plasma, which can also be taken off the list, because no plasma is observed.
Your theory does not comply with observation, unless you invent all kind of wild theories into the equation. But then it would no longer pass Occam's razor test, and it would for sure not be any better than the standard model. I don't see how you can call this "real" science then.
Dude, we detect electrons all over in space.
They are every where.
Space is a gigantic plasma sea.
Particle detectors light up like crazy when put in space.
You're still not understanding the point.
The point being detecting DRIFT DIRECTION is what is difficult to detect. We can see electrons moving with protons AWAY from the Sun. Standard theorists claim this shows the Sun is not a positive anode because electrons should move toward the Sun. Of course, this is a simpleton argument. The fact is, since positive ions are flowing away from the Sun, they will themselves attract electrons and pull the electrons along with them.
Its the free electron drift against the background of the positive ions that is incredibly diffuse and difficult to detect.
I posted the explanation 3 times already and I'll do it again if you still don't get it.
[edit on 15-4-2010 by mnemeth1]
On the average, measurements show that most of these detected electrons are moving neither inward nor outward. Parker's model requires that a like number of electrons and ions drift outward, constituting the electrically neutral solar wind. Here, we require that an inward flux of 3000 relativistic electrons per cubic meter pervades the background of 9 to 11 million electrons per cubic meter which occupy, but do not flow through, the space between the planets of the solar system.
On this basis, we are at least partially justified in supposing that the negative glow of the solar discharge cannot be located outside the Sun's atmosphere. Since the negative glow is the first true plasma region to be encountered as we proceed from the cathode of a glow discharge toward the anode, the interplanetary plasma may be tentatively assigned this role without straining the self-consistency in the model.(23)
Thus it would appear that, if but one in about every 3,000 electrons near the Earth turned out to be a current carrier moving at almost the speed of light toward the Sun, the power delivered would be enough to keep the Sun "burning" at its present rate. This seems a rather subtle stream but it would suffice to power the Sun.
In addition, some artifacts are seen in the higher energy channels. In particular, a signal due to sunlight contamination is frequently present at the highest energies. This signal is aligned with the Sun direction, and so moves through a pitch angle plot as the magnetic field direction changes. An example of this can be seen on Dec 14, 2000, as the non-field aligned signal seen from 0-12 UT in the 712, 987 and 1370 eV panels.

Obviously you don't understand that positively charged ions attract electrons and in a positive coronal discharge, we should expect to see secondary electrons moving with the ion flow.

a) coronal discharge has nothing to do with space. Its essential feature is neutral gas being ionized in an avalanche.
b) if electrons are "moving with the ion flow", the net charge of such soup is zero, hence it can't experience net force from a source of electric field even if it existed
Laboratory measurements demonstrate that a nonzero-valued electric field in the direction of the current (Eparallel > 0) is required to produce a nonzero current density within any plasma no matter what mode of operation the plasma is in. Negative-slope regions of the volt-ampere characteristic (negative dynamic resistance) of a plasma column reveal the cause of the filamentary properties of plasma, but all static resistance values are measured to be > 0.
Thus, although plasmas are excellent conductors, they are not perfect conductors. Weak longitudinal electric fields can and do exist inside plasmas. Therefore, magnetic fields are not frozen inside them.

now we are on to neutron stars hey?
So explain how a pulsar can rotate at 1800 hz for me without flying apart.
Explain why neutrons should violate the Island of Stability in nuclear chemistry.
Then explain how pulsars that do those things are somehow more realistic than the model proposed by Peratt, which doesn't involve any strange matter or hypothetical physics.
As to the "dark matter" nonsense, I have prepared a suitable response here.

Even though the neutron star is spinning at speed x the speed is still not strong enough to overpower gravity. The star only stretches out along the center.
Neutron stars themselves are held together by the strong nuclear force. Which is only thing that doesn't keep neutron stars from turning into black holes.

It does not. Coronal discharge requires electrically neutral gas to be present for the phenomenon to develop.
